How to Make Soap Shaped Like Flower Petals

Flower Petal Soap Craft

Sharon Jensen
Sharon Jensen shares directions for making small guest soaps that look like flower petals.

  • Age Guideline: 12 Years and Up
  • Time Required: 30 minutes (Does not include drying time)

     

    The above age and time guidelines are estimates. This project can be modified to suit other ages and may take more or less time depending on your circumstances.

    Materials Needed:

    • Melt & Pour Soap (clear)
    • Double Boiler
    • Fabric Flower Petals
    • Tweezers
    • Wax Paper

    Instructions:
    Melt the soap using a double boiler. Use the tweezers to dip a flower petal into the melted soap. Gently shake off any excess soap and then lay it on wax paper to dry and harden. Repeat this step to make as many soap petals as you like.

    Once all of your petals are dry, arrange them in a decorative bowl and place in your guest bathroom or any place else. These petals can also be used the bath tub. Simply toss in a few when you are running the water!
