Introduction: Dirty Soap
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.
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.
Step 2: Spray Some Clear Coat
Apply 2-3 coats of some acrylic clear coat from a spray can and wait 60-90 minutes for it to dry.
Step 3: Trim to Size
Cut out the picture. If you're feeling lucky, try to round the corners.
Step 4: Dunk in Water
Drop the decal into a glass of water for about 45 seconds. The backing will become loose and the decal will come off easily.
Step 5: Apply Decal to Soap
If you're in a rush and have steady hands you can apply the decal onto a dry bar of soap.
If you want to be able to have some leeway and be able to reposition the decal, wet the soap a little bit first.
Apply the decal onto the soap and press out the air bubbles.
Step 6: Give the Gift of Love and Happiness
Tie it up with a bow, wrap it in some fancy paper, or simply toss it to your roommate and shout "merry freakin' holidays!"
Customize the images to your friends if you want or just mix them up and when your friends call to thank you you can try to figure out which one they got.
Here's to closing out the year with class and style.

Very classy job covering the images. But to avoid the perverted comments you could have done nature scenes and suggested the revealing ones

I make my own bath soap due to having problems with chemicals. Like to know what is in my soap. I would never do the porn. I make all kinds of fancy one to give to friends.

I have done the same idea (minus the porn) by taking any picture or graphic, wetting the bar of soap slightly, press the picture on carefully making sure to not have bubbles or dry spots between the soap and the paper then letting it dry.
To make the picture stay on the soap, heat some paraffin to melted but not any hotter than necessary. Take off the heat. VERY carefully dip the photo side into the paraffin. Be sure to cover the paper completely. Remove from paraffin and cool.
This works for pictures, graphics and even dried flowers. The soap will stay pretty for most of the life of the soap since the paraffin side does not get used.
Only thing is to be sure to remember is that it is an adult project because of the paraffin.

if you made your own soaps you could make like half of it in a mould then when its all dry do some more and when people wash themselves the 'dirty' pics will appear and theyll be like WTF

....be nice to blank out the rude bits with a water-soluble paint so the pix looked decent until they got used.......:-)

when i saw this instructable i couldn't see that there were pics on the soap and thought it was just brown and it was the soap that turns you brown when you use it hence making you dirty.

just remember kids, bath soap should not be used as a lubricant. it's actually a bit abrasive and will rub tender bits raw. trust me. =)
