    Steps:


    1. At a copy store, get a transparency made from a color photo on white paper. You can also print onto a transparency from your home printer.


    Note: Make sure the transparencies you get are compatible with your type of printer. Since most computer ink is not waterproof, you will need to put a piece of self-adhesive laminating sheet over the side the ink is on. This step is not necessary if you have the transparency made at a copy center.


    2. Cut the picture to fit the soap mold (figure A).


    3. Melt the glycerin in a cup in the microwave according to the directions.


    4. Pour the glycerin into the mold until it is about a quarter full (figure B).


    5. Let it cool. Once it's set, place the transparency in the mold, and re-melt and pour the rest of the glycerin to the top of the mold. The transparency will float up a bit.


    6. Let it cool before unmolding.
