Mix 2 Cups of soap flakes into
mixing bowl. Add a few drops of food coloring into 1/4 Cup of water Add water to
soap and mix until soap is evenly colored. If mixture is sticky add more soap,
if mixture is to dry add more water. A stiff dough like consistency is what
you're trying for. These measurements are pretty close though. Flatten mixture
on clean surface and cut out shapes with cookie cutters. Place shapes on plate
and let air dry for 2 days. Place several shaped soaps in plastic wrap or in
jars and decorate with yarn or ribbon These are also nice for kids' craft fairs
wrapped in saran wrap for the season & tied with a bow. You can also place
them in mason jars with raffia bows. Make autumn colors for great fall gifts
(orange, browns, tans & greens) creating leaves that resemble an autumn
drive. Make a bunch of pumpkin shapes, ghost shapes, cats & bats to create
scary suds.
