Citrus and Floral Homemade Soap

Total Time: 2 hours

Yield: 16

Supplies:

• 1 pkg. glycerin soap with shea butter
• citrus soap scent
• dried flower petals
• soap colors
• lace trim
• stickers
• jars
• wooden skewers
• soap molds

Steps:

1. Cut the soap into cubes (these are usually already segmented into cubes). Place 2 or 3 cubes into a jar. Put 2 or 3 cubes into a second jar if a second color is desired.
2. Heat jars of cubes, one at a time, in the microwave for about 30 seconds. Add 6 to 8 drops of scent to each jar. Add a few drops of your desired colors to each jar, and then add dried, crushed flower petals. Stir with a wooden stick until thoroughly mixed.

 

 
3. Pour into soap molds. This is where you can get creative. You can pour half of one color and let set for a couple of minutes and then pour the other color on top. You can swirl the two colors together. You can also add more dried flowers to the top.

5. Decorate with lace trim and sticker labels.
