Directions
Open the plastic bag and cuff the
top enough so that the bag will
stand on its own. Place 4 ounces
of solid clear glycerin soap in a
heat-resistant measuring cup, and
melt in a double-boiler or microwave.
Pour half the melted soap into the bag.
Spray with alcohol until bubbles
disappear. Allow to cool and
harden for about 1 hour.
Re-melt remaining soap. Pour
a small amount of melted soap on top
of cooled soap in bag. Spray with
alcohol. Position fish in melted
soap, and let set 15 minutes
to lock into place.
Pour the remaining soap over
fish. Spray with alcohol. Gather
bag above soap and pinch with
clothespin. Allow soap to cool
for 15 minutes. Remove clothespin,
and tie with a ribbon
threaded with a gift tag.
