Who knew that children could make a great gift for teachers, moms, grandmothers, and friends out of a few simple household items such as a bar of soap, some beads, and pins? This scented gift craft was a mother’s day activity that I remember doing when I was in kindergarten and the completed masterpiece was something my mom kept on her dresser until I graduated high school and even beyond. Why not have your kids try it today?
Ingredients for Craft
- 1 bar of Ivory or other rectangular soap (white is best)
- Four large matching beads for feet
- Assorted beads
- Pins for sewing
- Ribbon or decorative fabric cut in thin strips
- Netted fabric (optional)
How to Make Scented Gift Craft
- Cover the bar of soap with netted fabric if desired. Fasten it to the soap with pins.
- Around the edge of the soap, pin ribbon or decorative strips of fabric.
- Give the soap some feet by pinning large matching beads on the bottom - one on each corner.
- Pin assorted beads around the top and sides of the soap gift.
Note: Always exercise caution when using pins. This craft may not be appropriate for children under five years old.
