Here it is folks! I have soap carving patterns for you on Thursday instead of Friday like I said I would do. (So what if it’s going to be Friday in 30 minutes? I’m 30 minutes early!)
It’s been quite the convoluted process to get these patterns into a pdf file. I won’t bore you with the technical challenges I had. Suffice it to say that they are finished and they are uploaded here for your carving pleasure. There was probably an easier way — but I just couldn’t figure it out. (Maybe my brain was just too tired tonight to figure things out.) Oh well.
Here’s the first set of 4 soap carving patterns.
Here’s the second set of 4 soap carving patterns.
Here’s what I recommend.
Print up the patterns. Cut them out.
Using a knife, trace the outline into a bar of Ivory soap. (Ivory soap is the brand that is the easiest to carve.)
Carve out the figure. If there are details, shallow carve them in.
Ta da! You have a soap carving — and probably a huge heap o’ soap shavings . . .
But, wasn’t it fun?
Happy soap carving with your grandchildren!

patterns are too big for the ivory soap.
Thank you! Really helping with my Cub Scout Den!
Hi Laura,
I’ve noticed that those in Cub Scouts really like my soap carving. I hope you have lots of fun with it.

Nina,
I am helping our teacher Matthew Swann, that is teaching Whittling and wood working for our College of Cub Scouting here in the Great Salt Lake Council. in Salt Lake City, Utah, on NOV 14th, 2015. This is a training for Cub Scout Leaders but we are providing a Website that connect Leaders to see the websites where we got our information. I would like to create a link to your Blog of your whittling instructions. May I please have your permission? to post this to our Resource Library so Other Cub Scout Leaders can find you and your darling drawings?
Thank you,
Cathy Price

Thanks for the patterns I’m doing this as a class project for my junior high art class!
An art class using my patterns? I’m so glad that you are able to use them!
