Hi Janice "Grate or peel any bar soap in a large bowl with potato peeler into 2 cups boiling water, (about a half cup of peelings). Add about a quarter cup of liquid laundry starch, whip on high with electric mixer. Add more soap peelings if not stiff enough.....And create! It dries hard and looks like fresh fallen snow on my Christmas tree and the whole house smells divine."
I cadged this from a craft site - personally I'd use unscented soap, I don't think the bar-soap smell goes well with food :( HTH -- bye for now Bev indoors in Sooke, BC (on Vancouver Island, west coast of Canada) On Sun, 12 Nov 2006, Janice Blair wrote: > I am having our British club party at my home, a sit down meal for about 30, > luckily I don't have to make all the food, but I will need something for the > table centers and I seem to remember doing a snowy scene years ago using soap > powder for the snow.
