"Okay, so now that we have made our soaps. We have our first soap that we made. And I've shown it tied here with a little piece of yarn which looks super nice with the basic felted soaps. We have our soap with our little felted rope loop so you can hang that up and it'll dry very nicely in your shower. And then we have our soap in a wash cloth which we made as our third sample. This is a nice soft cloth that you can use to wash your face or anything else for that matter. And I also wanted to show you something you can do with your edges. Typically when you're working with felt you end up with this sort of deckled looking edge. It's very wabi sabi, it's very trendy now. But if you don't like the look of that edge thinning out like that you can actually take some scissors and trim it to whatever shape you want. If you like a cleaner edge and a cleaner look. It doesn't look quite as hand crafted that way but some people prefer that. And if you cut it and then you work those edges wet a little bit more that will sort of finish off that cut edge and you'll have a different look for your piece. So there you have some gift ideas that you can do quickly and easily with felt and soap."
