These delightful little soap craft sculptures can help turn routine hand washing into an amusing game for your kids. As a pretty art craft, they also make thoughtful -- and useful -- gifts for the moms, sisters, and friends on your list.
What You'll Need:
- Soap flakes
- Medium-size bowl
- Spoon
- Water
- Food coloring
- Scented oil (optional)
- Waxed paper
How to Make Soap Sculptures:
Step 1: Pour some soap flakes in a medium-size bowl. Gradually stir in water until the mixture reaches a stiff, doughlike consistency.
Step 2: Add a few drops of food coloring to the mixture to make colored soaps. If you want to make scented soaps, add a few drops of scented oil to the mixture.
Step 3: Cover your work surface with waxed paper. Place the dough on the waxed paper, and sculpt it into shapes such as shells, butterflies, or hearts.
Step 4: Let your soaps dry overnight. Place them in a gift box and give them to your friends or family members.
