1. Developing Your Design - Begin with a simple design. Start with solid, basic shapes with simple cuts or extensions. Sketch your idea on paper first or try one of these sample patterns. Place the design on your prepared bar of Ivory soap and trace it onto the soap using carbon paper or a sharp pencil. With a little practice you’ll soon be ready to create designs of your own!
