1. Place the soap on the tulle and cut a square large enough to bunch up around the soap.

2. Place the soap in the center of the square of tulle along with a few shells and faux pearls (figure A).

3. Gather up each corner of the tulle and secure with seam binding or ribbon, tying a bow at the top. Embellish the bow with a small flower in the center (figure B).

   DIY Tip: This is a great way to wrap almost any gift.

4. Choose a shell with a surface smooth enough to write on and glue a pearl to the inside. Write a short message around the shell with a permanent marker (figure C).

5. Glue the shell onto one end of the seam binding or ribbon.
