Do these lids have a raised part?  As I thought of if it is flat the  
decorative soaps sitting on it wrapped up with the kinda bridal veil  stuff.
 
Gee whiz I did a Fun Making Soap Class a couple of years back.  Sounds  
like we need one of those soap classes for you.

yes,  they are absolutely gorgeous - they are going to the weekend show  
tomorrow. They would be beautiful in the bathroom to hold soaps, or  
lotions, 
on on the table to hold small things, too. The lids are so pretty  - but 
since they fit nothing at all, I don't know what I will do with them  - but 
something might just pop up and Voila' there it is.   haha
