I decided to play around yesterday. :) I wanted to put a design on some soap for my Aunt and thought about cadebug's design of a perfume bottle. Once the design was in my machine I made it as small as my machine would allow because it was a little to large for the soap I had on hand. I used the heaviest WSS I have found and stitched. I didn't figure I could keep the perfume spray and would have to cut them off but I cut the WSS close as I could before putting in water. I dissolved the WSS like usual except around the spray. I left some WSS on to hopefully glue to the soap. It worked! I kept wetting my finger and going over the WSS until it either dissolved on smoothed into the soap. I did have to be careful to keep my finger soap free. Hee Hee. What do you think?

Thank you for peeking. :) I wanted cadebug to be sure and see her design being used. I bought the soap at a store called Bed and Bath in the USA. It is "Savonnettes Naturelles" brand. It is hard to find soap without large designs on them depicting their brand. This one has a small initial in the middle of the soap but can be covered up with the right designs. It has "ribbles" on the other side that I have also used with certain designs. It is longer and more narrow than a regular bar of soap.

This is a great gift idea. I think I wouldn't want to use the soap and ruin the design. LOL

I put parafin on the top of the design to seal it. I would hope everyone would know it was for decoration only. But......... hahaha

Thank you. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm. I might try glass :)
by tippi 29 Jun 2009
Speaking of putting your designs on glass. I have a frame that has double glass in it and I made a disign and cut it out and put in between the glass. I will take a picture of it and let you see it. Very nice looking.

Thanks! I always have soap on hand so that I can make a quick gift. It is hard to find soap without a design engraved in it. I am always on the look out at specialty stores to keep them in stock.
