If you are about my age 45 you may remeber getting these as gifts, well my problem is I want to make some and need some help on what to use. You used to get thses soap pouches made of thin coloured foam/sponge in a shape say flower, you would put a piece of small soap in the pouch and then sew it up. Are you still with me? Hope so as I'm not that good at expalining on paper some things. Anyway I have the samll soaps, I have the thin pieces of sponge.... what I don't have is what do I sew them together with! Cos its a sponge it is going ot be wet most of the time so normal thread won't do. ANY IDEAS please? Many thanks Anne18

Sorry anne, I do not know how they are made. I vaguely remember them, but I do not know how to make it. Maybe some string would be better to use for it. Maybe some super glue, but that would un stick with water too. Hopefully someone will remember and give you good advice. I will check back because I want to know now.

Hey Anne18 I am not 45 but not that far behind but really can't remember such soaps. Anyway I see you predicament, can you not get the superglue out? LOl

I know glue will go straight through the sponge and you will end up with glued fingers and we don't want that now do we?

Well done on remembering them, pulled this up because I thought it would go nicley along side my bath salts discussion.

How about using needle point thread only don't separate it leave it one thick piece. I think it's called embroidery thread or floss. I would use white so that the color wouldn't bleed onto your sponge.

What about clear jewelry thread? That's plastic.
