Hi, I'm Claudia, from "Ideas para Regalos", the hazregalos.com's blog.
Here we are, on holidays,
in the first 2012 video,
with an idea to a gift,
a gift for a friend.
I'm going to show you what it is.
The last year, some friends gave me this soap,
look, it seems that it has letters floating on it.
It seemed pretty creative
and I made one,
with foam bath, in this case, with a phrase so you can give somebody.
The original thing is, precisely, the phrase you put inside it,
that our friends will read while they're using this soap or shampoo.
We can even take an old container (not a new one, I mean)
of any liquid,
one that, even is colored, may let us see through it.
So, let's see the materials.
We'll see that it's very easy and fast to do.
We need, first, the container that we've chosen,
I've bought those ones.
You can get it everywhere,
very cheap and on different sizes,
with its cap, etc.
That what we want to fill it,
as I said, this is foam bath.
I looked for a pink color because I'll give it to a friend.
Then we need something to decorate jar,
it can be raffia,
some ribbon, satin ribbon,
whatever we want to use.
We have to print the phrase
with transparency.
I let you those ones on the blog so you can donwload.
Obviously, you can use your own ideas.
You must measure the jar
and take off 1cm so it can fit.
This transparencies can be printed in almost everywhere where there is a photocopier,
if you don't want to print it, you can get this sheet,
that is transparent and it's sold on A4,
then you write the phrase with a permanent marker.
We also need scissors.
I'll show you how it's made.
First we have to cut the phrase on the transparency,
as I said, I've measured it
and I've cutted it 0,5cm smaller, width and lenght,
so it is smaller than the jar,
this way it doesn't folds and fits.
So, we cut.
Take care of cut every edge
so the floating effect looks good.
Now we fill the jar.
I'm using a napkin to avoid staining.
If there's a bubble,
don't worry, every bubble goes away.
I'm filling it to the top.
As we see, the last bubble goes away.
We can remove a little bit of it.
That's it.
Now, we take the transparency,
we coil it,
carefully, avoiding a fold.
Like this. We put it in.
I use this sticks to uncoil the transparency,
paying attention to it fits.
Let's put it in the center.
As you see, the phrase can be read,
better like this.
Now we cover it,
and decore it.
I'm going to use only the raffia.
I've looked for phrases about friendship,
may be one that just you and your friend understands.
The mine one is: "To make you look so beautiful in the outside as you are inside".
As this is for her grooming, the quote is good.
It's over,
look how fast it is.
We have this two, and this one they gave me.
Also is a good idea to buy a container, remove the mark and use it.
Hope you liked it and see you!
