This pretty storybook soap is an easy and inexpensive gift idea or party favour. You can use this wrapping technique to make any small gift look extra special.<\/p>\n
You will need:<\/h2>\n
\n
A lovely bar of soap, the handmade kind would be even better.<\/li>\n
A scanned and printed image out of a vintage story book. I’ve just used normal office paper to print on, some pretty gift wrap would work well too.<\/li>\n
Double sided tape<\/li>\n
Scissors<\/li>\n
2 x metal eyelets<\/li>\n
Eyelet tool (usually comes in pack of eyelets) or eyelet pliers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
How to Gift Wrap Soap:<\/h2>\n
<\/p>\n
\n
Gather your supplies.<\/li>\n
Trim your paper to size so the edges overlap when wrapped around the soap, affix with a piece of double sided tape.<\/li>\n
With the ends (about 2 inches on each side), flatten them out and fold over twice as pictured.<\/li>\n
With your eyelet tool, insert eyelets as per instructions on packet. Try to keep them centered.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
All done! \nNow you have a pretty and unique gift that you’ll want to keep for yourself.<\/p>\n
