My first try is not bad and in fact in the picture they are great BUT I'm not that happy with the results just yet!! I know the soap could have been the smaller bars but my biggest challenge is finding patterns small enough to fit on the bars of soap. I've gone through my stach of patterns and cut off leaves and flowers of the patterns to get some that will fit and it seems to be working.

Well done! What did you use in the end to "stick" it on to the soap? Suzette

I tried what I had read, just use dots of water on the soap and work it into a lather and stick the wet embroidered piece on than let dry. he he

Great job. Love them all. I made several of these in the past. Used the same design in a larger size on towels to match.

It is super. Can you say me, how do you do that? As the embroidery is on the soap? I've seen something like this before?

How can you embroider on soap?

The embroidery is not actually on the soap itself. You would embroider a small freestanding motif and stick it to the soap . You can wet the soap, some use a clear drying glue. This is mostly for a decoration instead of actual use.

I embroidered on a layer of tulle & solvy or any rinse away stabilizer , I trim the tulle away, but leave a bit of the rinse away around the edges, then I slightly dampen the rinse away and pat the edges into the soap. I liked to use round (not balls) of hand made soaps.

I forgot to add if you use a layer of tulle you don't need the design to be free standing.
