BE SAFE. Paraffin is flammable. heat it over hot water;
never place over direct heat.
Moisten a plain side of the soap with water, then place the
picture on it, pressing down so it adheres to the wet soap.
Place paraffin in the cup. To melt, set the custard cup in the
hot water. Pour the melted wax into the shallow pan, then dip the
picture side of the soap into the wax. Set the wax-coated soap on the
towel or baking sheet and allow to harden. Wrap the finished soap in
plastic wrap to protect it until ready to use. For more bars, simply
