How to make paper soap with water-soluble paper
Follow these steps to make paper soap with a bar of hard soap: Crush your soap bar and add it to a glass container for heating. Next, fill half of a saucepan with water, put the soap-filled glass container over the saucepan, and stir continuously until the soap melts. Then, remove the glass container and soap from heat and let it cool a bit.
Soap sheets
Let's quickly jump to making soap sheets
Next, take out a clean baking sheet and place a water-soluble paper on it. Make a line with the melted soap on one side of the baking sheet just beside the water-soluble paper. Take a paintbrush, dip it into the soap, and spread it evenly on the paper. Make sure you do everything quickly and do not let the delicate paper rip apart.
Further steps
Time to peel the water-soluble paper from baking sheet
Leave a thin strip on water-soluble paper soap-free to hang it onto a drying line. After you're done covering one side, swiftly flip and cover the other side, too. Now, smoothly peel the soap-coated paper from the baking sheet; let it dry. After it is completely dry, you can cut it into your preferred shape and size and keep it safe in a container.
