I tried my hand at making decorative soaps this weekend. These are neat to make. The process is relatively simple. The hardest part for me was arranging and afixing the little plastic fish and plant to hang just right when suspended in the soap. The other tricky part was removing the soap from the mold. You need thumbs of steel. Wonder if there's an exercise video for that.




Here's a group photo of the process.


The top left photo is of the fish and plant hanging suspended upside down in the clear soap solution. The fish and plant are wired to a chopstick that is hanging across two of the globe molds.

The top right photo is after the clear soap has dried and the opaque soap has been poured on top to act as the floor of the aqarium. I scented the opaque soap with pearberry fragrance oil.

The bottom left photo is of the finished aquarium soap, unwrapped.
