SOAP BOUQUET

(Submitted to Soap Wizard by Ela Heyn)

MATERIALS:

• Flower shaped lollipop molds (from a party or candy making/craft store. NY Cake and Baking also has these: 1-800-CAKE-9.)
• Lollipop sticks (usually found the same place you get lollipop molds. Wooden lollipop sticks are best.)
• Clear soap base or opaque soap base (molding soap base is better than crafting soap base for this)
• Fragrance and colors, as desired.
• Bit of green tulle, or other green materials, or artificial leaves.

TECHNIQUE:

1. Make flower shaped soaps in the lollipop molds, putting them on a lollipop stick, as you would if you were using the mold to make actual lollipops.

2. Unmold and decorate lollipop stick with "foliage" made of green fabric, or artificial leaves.

3. Wrap each soap in shrink wrap, or Saran Wrap, to prevent soap from drying out.

4. Arrange flower soaps in a vase, or tie them together with yarn to make a colorful soap bouquet. This is a particularly nice gift for Valentine's day or Mother's Day.

If you are looking for other recipes, check out some of the links in the side bar or check in my archive. There are alot of recipes in both places. I am always looking for new recipes to post on my blog, so please return in the future.
