Instructions
|
-
Follow the melting instructions for basic pour and melt soap to melt your soap base.
-
When your soap base has completely melted, remove your soap base from the heat. Add your fragrance oil. You will want to use no more than 1 ounce per pound of soap base. Stir throughly but try not fold too much air into the soap or you may get bubbles.
-
Spread a piece of waxed paper onto your work area. This is where you will place the dipped petals.
-
Use your tweezers to carefully dip a petal in the melted soap. Always be very careful around hot soap. You may want to dip the petals several times to get a nice coating of soap.
-
Using the tweezers, remove a petal from the soap base. If you have a small fan, hold the petal in front of the fan for a few seconds to help the wax dry faster and prevent any inperfections in the soap.
-
Gently place the petal on the waxed paper and continue the same process for each petal.
-
Once the petals have dried, they can be used as single use soaps. Simply rub a petal between your hands with some water and wash as normal. Just throw away the silk petal when you're finished!

I tried this craft for the first time last night and really enjoyed it. I am going to put my petals in a little jar as a gift for a housewarming. I am going to put a little gallery glass "M" on the front of the jar to personalize the gift, because the last name of the recipient starts with M. I think this is going to be a hit and am very excited to bring it to the party! Thanks for the great idea.
The dye in the rose petals did bleed a little, so it might be better to use white petals and color the soap.
I missed the part about the fan, but found that dipping it one was plenty! I would suggest dipping a petal and testing it before dipping again.
