Rose Petal gift soap

20 years ago

Does anyone have the instructions for making the soap that you dip rose petals in. You use one rose petal to wash your hands. I think you use real rose petals.

I want to get started on making my Christmas gifts...I always wait until the last min. and get too stressed.

I'm ready to get started.

Pattico - Found this. All the sites I found used silk petals. Hope it's helpful.

"Buy silk rose petals (the kind used at weddings), or you can buy them on the stem and clip them off the stem.

Melt about 1/2 cup of clear glycerin soap base. When melted, add whatever scent you have on hand (approximately 20 drops or until you achieve the desired fragrance. I like to use a Rose Garden fragrance.

Using a pair of tweezers, dip rose petals in the melted glycerin soap. Dip one at a time, shaking off the excess soap, and place the petal on waxed paper to dry. As they start to dry, gently turn them over to keep them from getting a glob of soap underneath them."

This was another site that told how to make them:

Thank you Barb...I think silk will do just as nice...maybe better.

I have several cousins and friend that I think would love a bag of those and a cut glass bowl to put them in.

What a neat idea. So you take a petal from the bowl and then wash, discard. At first I though you covered a bar of soap with them. Pretty Clever. I hope I get one in my Christmas card this year . . .hint . . . hint. . .

That's such a cute idea!!

This link will take you to a site where they have put the soap rose petals together so that you have a rose in your soap dish... each rose has about 12 soap petals.

That's really inexpensive...I wonder if I can make them that "cheap"

But I bet people would be more inclined to use them if they were not a flower...I think they would be too pretty to use.

Patti... you coerce them into using the petals by having no other soap in your guest bathroom :)
