So I went to a few craft stores and no wool for my felt soap so I put out a call of help from my friends. Well...One of my nieces answered the call...you can get the wool on line at Joanns http://www.joann.com/joann/catalog/p...RODID=prd52712 - I have the instructions on how to make felt wool soap on my website which is below. I can't wait to try it...the wool shipment is on its way...and you can use the 40 percent off coupon which comes out about the same price as the regular price since you have to pay shipping.

One year i went in to michaels AFTER Christmas and the pans were .10. I bought a stack of them for the next years gifts.

here is a really fun and cheap idea. Salt ornaments - you can make these from children handprints, cookie cutters, dog or cat paws...anything. just be sure to make a hole with a straw. Salt dough recipe: 1 cup salt, 1 cup plain flour, Up to half a cup of water - mix and bake.
