How to make soap roses:
- Start by cutting 100 g of melt & pour soap into small pieces.
- You can melt it using a double boiler in a glass container. If you don't have a double boiler, don't worry! You can also microwave it. Just put it in the microwave for 30 seconds at maximum power, then stir it. If necessary, you can melt it again for 10 seconds.
- Now it's time to customize your soap. If you want your soap roses to have color and a pleasant scent, quickly add the cosmetic fragrance and the soap dye. This will give your soap roses a unique appearance and a delightful aroma.
- Once your soap is melted and customized, stir it well.
- Then, pour it inside a plastic tray. Leave it for a while to allow it to solidify (it’s going to be quick, don’t worry!).
- After your soap has solidified, it's time to create your DIY soap roses. Take a round cookie cutter and gently scrape the surface of the soap. Keep scraping without stopping, and you'll see the roses forming automatically!
