Learn how to make these DIY goldfish in a bag soaps for a fun addition to your bathroom or to give as party favors!
These DIY goldfish in a bag soaps are so cute and they look like a snap to make. However, as I discovered when I made these the first time, they are a little trickier than I had anticipated and it took me a few tries to get them perfect.
This project yields one goldfish in a bag soap.
Allow the soap to cool slightly, until a think layer of soap starts to solidify on top of the soap. Mix the soap again then slowly pour the soap into a bag. Be careful to pour the soap directly into the center of the bag so it doesn't hit the sides going down. You may want to stop partially through the process to readjust the bag. If you don't have a steady hand, place the bag in a dish that will hold the bag and still keep it slightly upright.
Place your goldfish in the bag and use a pipette or chop stick to press the fish in the desired position against the very front of the bag. Leave the pipette in the bag to hold the fish in place until the fish stays in place upon removing the pipette.
Mix it up. For "colored" water, add a pinch of superfine emerald green or Caribbean blue glitter when you add the fragrance. You can also substitute the fragrance oil for another of your choice, but be sure it has 0% vanilla and is clear, not yellow.
