Everyone can use a bar of soap as a present so why not make your own bars extra special with some nudity? Spread the love!

Step 1: Find images and print them onto decal paper.

DSC07093.jpg
The images you will have to find on your own, but as for the decal paper, you just get some from here. A ten-pack of the white should be good enough for about 80 bars of soap.

Get some bars of soap that have a flat face and measure to see what your work area is. Resize and crop your image to fit.

When you get the transfer paper, just put in in your inkjet printer and print it out.

My mom used to make custom soaps kind of like this ... but with MUCH tamer pictures. She'd cut out the image, tack it to the bar of soap with some Elmer's glue and then dip it repeatedly in melted paraffin. This coated side didn't really wear off in the shower, so the image stuck around while the soap side still lathered up.

hey this looks really good! but please can somebody answer this question (for a non-english mother-tongued;-) is it transfer-paper (e.g. for printing t-shirts) you are using, or is it somekind of adhesive/label paper?? thanx for your answers :-)

It is transfer paper, but not the same as for printing t-shirts. Not exactly. The link in the instructable tells you where to get it.

I guess you can apply a photo (printed on normal paper) to a soap (or whatever) by just using white glue (and a brush to apply the glue below and above the paper). This is called decoupage. Unfortunately, I don't know the details about how to do it. Might be an interesting alternative, with even cheaper material. Come on! Someone please do it and post here at instructables! :)
ekjose in reply to denilsonsaDec 21, 2007. 8:53 PM
the problem with using normal paper and glue is two-fold: 1) white glue dissolves in water and all of a sudden you are "cleaning" yourself with glue 2) paper also dissolves in water and you would have little flecks of your picture all over you. If you want to decoupage, buy a container of ModgePodge and a brush at your local craft store and go crazy! it's fun, easy, cheap, and there are instructions on the bottle.

You're right... And now I remember that varnish was applied on top of the glue+paper combination. The varnish makes it waterproof.

Nice, everybody likes a nice pair of (.Y.) once in a while, or a lot of times.

How about this In an old prank shop here in Kansas they sold a soap that was the same but when you got to the pic it was a plastic keeper and there where 6 cards in one bar of soap just layered the soap and cards then you can keep your newly found pics and be clean at the same time the shop closed about 7 years ago but it was fun going in there.

GeekyKhan says: Dec 19, 2007. 6:35 AM
So what happens when you try to use the soap? Does the decal just come off or would you get your hands dirty as the ink starts rubbing off?
fungus amungus (author) in reply to GeekyKhanDec 19, 2007. 10:00 AM
The decal just slides off.
soggycheerios says: Dec 18, 2007. 6:49 PM
i had a bar that as you used it the girls clothes started to come off. lets see that
randofo says: Dec 17, 2007. 4:58 PM
Isn't the decale kinda a plastic film on the surface of the soap? Do you think you could temporary tattoo it on or something similar?
fungus amungus (author) in reply to randofoDec 18, 2007. 4:12 PM
Basically, yeah. You spray on the clear coat to seal the image in and protect it. There's another type of paper for temporary tattoos.
lebowski says: Dec 17, 2007. 2:50 PM
Yes the perfect DIY xmas gift guaranteed to impress the mother in-law! I might have to go a little higher end on the soap and ribbon though, silk would be a nice touch. Next year you'll have to do a whole line of products. Dirty Martha to the rescue!

Oh, totally. The clear transfer paper can help to cleanly apply designs to ceramics. Time for some dirty cups!
Doctor What says: Dec 17, 2007. 6:35 PM
I like how your angles avoided the nudity. :) I wouldn't give these to my grandma, but I could probably put a picture of a cat or something. It's a great gift for a girlfriend/boyfriend. Put your face on it and he/she would be rubbing your face... Nevermind.
