Valentine's day is less than a month away. Does gift buying have you stressed out already? Switch it up for the day and create your own photo soaps together instead.

What you'll need

• A microwave safe container
• White glycerin soap
• Clear glycerin soap
• Mold (preferably silicon)
• Popsicle stick for stirring (I used my stainless steel chopsticks)
• Thermometer
• Microwave
• Water soluble photo

Directions

1. Print your photo and cut to size of the inside of the mold
2. Melt clear glycerin and pour a thin layer in mold.
3. Put photo face down over thin layer, then pour remaining clear glycerin over the photo.
4. Wait until clear glycerin is cooled enough for a firm film on top, then heat and pour the white glycerin soap
5. Wait until white glycerin soap is set, then unmold
6. Enjoy!
