Soap making ideas
November 25th, 2009
Hit by bit, cut awav the out-side edge ol the soap until you reach the lines. When you carve, hold the knife edge away from your body. Don’t try to cut away big chunks, just cut a little at a time.
Round out the top of the turtle’s back with the knife. With a pointed stick vou can make dents for the turtle’s eyes and mark lines on its shell.
When you finish carving, smooth the sides by wetting the snap and rubbing it with your fingers.
Paint the turtle with tempera.
You can carve many other animals out of soap. Remember it is easier to carve the animals if vou first draw a picture on the soap.
