*Try not to laugh at my doofishness -- Somewhere amidst the leaning towers of craft bins in my art room, there lives a family of nesting funnels.Try as I might, I couldn't find them and feared an ensuing avalanche if I continued. As a substitute, I used one of my kitchen funnels, and created a smaller tapered end with Gorilla Tape. By golly, I love Gorilla Tape! I wouldn't recommend this method over a proper funnel, but in a pinch it'll do. |
Thanks Jenn for a super post and a great tutorial. I love your pictures and staging! (we all know I’m in need of help in that department). Make sure you hop over to Jenn’s place to say hi! (after leaving her some love here first.)

Thanks for the tutorial! I love the egg soaps, I just started making a few different types, testing things out and what not. I can't seem to get a rounded top on the top of the soap where I screwed a hole to pour into the plastic egg. Any suggestions?

Lauren,
This is not my tutorial, and I've never made any soaps. But I was wondering if maybe you could drill the hole in the bottom, so it may be less noticeable? Just a thought.
good luck,

One word for those soap eggs, adorable. Those would be a big hit at a craft show. Bet they'd sell out in no time.
