Wrapped Soap

When Debbie at Confessions of a Plate Addict shared with us a CUTE and inexpensive way to dress up extra soap for a guest bathroom, I wasted no time….I just had to make some for mine!

She wrapped her soap in Kraft paper as I did but I added a vintage lamb graphic to mine that I found on-line. I created an aged look on my wrapped soap using distress ink and then tied with jute twine.

And while I was at it, I even made a towel using the same vintage lamb graphic.

Thank you Debbie for your inspiration.  This definitely is a cute and inexpensive way to dress up those extra bars of soap.

As always, thanks for stopping by and leaving such sweet comments.  They always make my day!

  2. What a fabulous idea! I have some that are hand made and I always encourage people to take it home with them, so this would be perfect!

    Lavender also make a huge difference in the soap dish!

  5. Cutest thing ever. And I'm not an animal person. Not even close. But these soaps make me consider giving it all up for a few acres of country and a barn. Love them.

  6. Very pretty, Gail! I keep thinking I should do something like this with all those soaps my hubby brings home from business trips. For some reason he thinks he's bringing me something I want! : ) I love how you tied the towel into the soaps.

  16. Your soaps and towel are gorgeous! I want to make some of those.
    How are you? I have been so out of it when it comes to blogs and blogging. I will start up again soon, I'm home, but too tired and have too much to do to get back to it yet.
    Have a wonderful week.
    Hugs, Cindy
