Soap Idea

[stupidusername.livejournal.com]

Okay since Valentines Day is coming up and I am oh-so-far away form all my friends, I had this cute idea for Valentines day...
I want to make them soap, but like personalized soap. I was thinking of getting cheap little ice cube trays from the dollar store and getting them in the original square designs and ones with stars and moons and such on them.
Then I want to make like yellow moons and all different color stars...cute stuff.
Then I was going to take bigger chunks....ohh maybe heart shaped...maybe not. But at first I thought about making them pony bead bracelets and sticking them in the center of the soap...but then I thought they would get all nasty. So my next idea was to just throw in different colored heart shaped beads...plus I just got a whole bunch of letter beads, so maybe spell out their names with the beads. Like loose beads though. I know eventually the soap would mealt down, but I still think it would be cute. I could wrap them up in that colored...or clear...saran wrap and I have this awesome ribbon I could put around them. It fits so well for Valentine's Day. It says Love, Trust, and Dreams on it (I beleave) and the colors fit too. Very pretty.

Also I just figured out how to make those 3D stars, so I might include some of those as well. I made this one from the cover of my brothers Beckett baseball magazine (he said I could have it) and it turned out awesome because a teams symbol ended up centered on the front...really cool...totally by accident though...lol

But my question is..the soap I have is moisturizing clear glycerin soap...what should I add to it?
If I do not add any smell goods, will it turn out yucka?
Can I use regular food coloring to make the soap have a tint?

Other than that I just thought I would share my ideas...thanks
