I’ve been meaning to post about these for months… I attended a wedding back in October where the guests received these adorable fortune cookie soap favors! And get this… the bride and her bridesmaids handmade all of these and the cost netted to ~$0.80 each!

With the hive in mind, I of course had to inquire as to how she made them! She gave me permission to post the instructions up, so without further ado, here they are! Thanks Jean!!

What you’ll need (makes ~275-300 favors):
All of these should be available from either Michael’s or Hobby Lobby

• Two 2-lb tubs of glycerin gel
• Dye
• Fragrance
• 3″ circular cookie cutter
• Taffetta wraps
• Ribbon
• Charms

Instructions:

• Cut up the glycerin gel into cubes
• Melt in the microwave for ~1 minute
• Add a few drops of dye and a few drops of fragrance
• Mix
• Pour a 1/4″ thick layer onto a cookie sheet
• Let it cool for a minute or so, but make sure it is still malleable. Then take the cookie cutter and cut out circles
• Mold the “cookie” into shape (this part is a little tricky…)
  • Fold in half by only pinching the edge…Hold on to the edge
  • With your other thumb, press the middle on the folded edge in, simultaneously pulling the two corners together
• Type up some cute quotes or a thank you note to make the “fortunes”, print them out and cut them up, and insert them into the cookie
• Wrap them up!
