Fish in a Bag Soap Recipe

How to make it

---

• Cut off a chunk of your glycerin block. Ours was about 3 inches.
• Cut that block into smaller pieces.
• We cut ours into thirds.
• Place blocks in a microwaveable plastic bowl.
• In this bowl we did about three batches, but we recommend you start with one batch your first time.
• Prepare an ice-water bath in a bowl.
• Microwave the soap until it melts (about 45 seconds for a small batch).
• Make sure all the blocks are melted.
• If not, stir and put it back in the microwave for 20-30 seconds more.
• Using a funnel, carefully pour the soap into a plastic bag.
• The funnel helps the soap run straight down to the bottom and not all over the sides of your bag.
• If it gets on the sides, it hardens that way and doesn't look realistic when you're done.
• Fill it about 1/4 to 1/3 full so the soap will end up being a good size for little hands to hold.
• The soap will be full of little bubbles at this point, so quickly spray it with the alcohol.
• That will take care of them.
• Take your bag to the ice bath and hold it in the ice water for a moment.
• Using your skewers like chopsticks, grab a fish and lower it into the soap, keeping it upright and somewhat in the middle. (Unless you're the morbid type--you could make it floating upside down or laying on the bottom.
• Just don't blame us when your child bursts into tears over her dead "fish.") Once the soap has started to harden a little and the fish isn't moving around in it anymore, you can remove it from the ice bath and leave it upright to harden completely
• Tie the bag closed with a cute ribbon or even a twist tie and you're done!
• This would make a great gift for kids paired with a hooded towel!
• Also a great gift to kids going a kids birthday party
