would muslin behave a little easier?

I already do the Muslin, in all shapes and forms, but wanted something a bit more crisp and chicy

Could you cut a larger round of muslin , put the soap in the middle, bring muslin up at the top, and tie together with a ribbon and tag so that the extra muslin comes out the top of the ribbon (sorry, probably not described that very well, but i can see it in my head  Cheesy

I use thumb and 1st finger of R hand to pleat and thunb and 1st finger of L hand to hold the soap and the pleats as they're made.

Quick go with circle of kitchen roll - circle too big and kitchen roll not the best paper for folding.

Goodness I thought that sort of thing was done on a machine of some sort, I didn't know 'someone' could actually do it free hand, that looks to good Elaine, you are so good at everything

I was wonderining how they wrap those round soaps.  Surely it is not all done by hand.

There are machines which do the pleated wrapping - and there's a company in Lincolnshire or somewhere which supplies pleated circle wraps - can't think of the name ATM.

apparently coffee filters work for this kind of thing. But it has to be those flower shaped commercial filters, not the triangular things from Lions.

What about organza wraps like for favours? Put the soap in the middle, and wrap it up - stick a nice tie on it.. Bob's your Uncle.

Thanks Honey, I have been thinking along those lines, just wondering if the material will fray.   Though I have seen some nice ready made ones on ebay 12 inch dia, but a wee bit on the expensive side
