Default Cool Photo Gift

I wasn't sure where to post this, but I made the coolest project ever for family members for Christmas and it cost me a whopping $1.50.
It's a photo in a soap bottle!
Check it out here

This is pretty cool. Great gift idea. Pretty funny about your Mother in law too. Will the picture last a long time in the bottle with the soap? Thanks for sharing.

I love this gift idea!
So the photo pretty much floats in the liquid soap?

You go to the office supply store and have them copy your photo on a transparency sheet. My printer at home didn't have the right kind of ink.

I did it a few weeks ago and there's no sign of it deteriorating or anything!

I wonder if you could stamp on transperancy sheets with Stazon and then put it inside the soap? Hmmm... now you have me thinking. I've done transparencies in clear glass Christmas bulbs, but never thought of soap!

What an awesome idea. My family is all back in Maine and this will make a wonderful gift to mail back to them.
Thanks for sharing.
