Yes, I saw that soap and I LOVE those catalogues. I thought to myself when seeing the soaps that I would have to try that one. Thank you so much for saving me from “reinventing the wheel”! Now I can “just do it”. And the ideas of using the leftover felt at the end for an ATC are spectacular! Thank you all. Gladys Love, author of “Embellishing with Anything”. fibresoul.blogspot.com

Thanks for sharing Judy. this looks like such a practical and accessible project for gifts or just plain fun. I have roving for a project I plan to make that is rock-like and I can easily imagine using leftovers to make some soap “stones!”

Once the soap is gone, the shape of the wool is kind of a sad sausage-looking thing as it continues to shrink as the soap disappears.
Add beads, ribbon, doodahs and yarn to make little Cleanliness goddesses out of them. I love stitching on felt. Maybe you should even include a bag of stuff (including needle, beads, some thread and instructions) when you give the soap. Two gifts in one!

Julaine, thanks for sharing that other process. It really is a great project to do with kids.

Juanita, too bad about the roving bleeding, I have never had roving do that before. I suppose it must be due to the way that particular roving was dyed.
