I tied to make toy goldfish in a bag of clear soap to give the neighbors kids for Christmas. (See Dec. 20.) They came out pretty murky, and I didn’t finish them in time. I got the idea from the Martha Stewart show. http://www.marthastewart.com/article/fish-in-a-bag-soap?
They were so adorable, and since I make glycerin soaps, I had almost everything on hand. I ordered my fish from eBay.
I’m not giving up on them, though. Murky, or not, they’re still pretty cute. Maybe I’ll give them to the kids on the Epiphany.

Whew! So much to do in so little time! I am working on a new project I saw on the Martha Stewart Show last week. You fill a clear plastic bag half full of clear glycerine soap. When it begins to set, you add a tiny toy fish. Later, you spray the first layer with rubbing alcohol and add another layer. When the soap has set, you tie the bag with a string, and it looks just like a goldfish you’ve brought home from the pet store!
