How to make roses from soap with your own hands?

Roses - a chic decoration of any home. But fresh flowers quickly fade, and so I want to enjoy their beautiful view and alluring aroma longer. Do-it-yourself roses will be the original option for the apartment. They act not only in the role of decoration, but also give pleasure during taking a bath or shower.

If the product itself called “soap” has a long history, then home soap making is a fairly “young” hobby. It literally several years ago won wildly popular among needlewomen from different corners of the globe. The secret is quite simple: the process of making soap is very interesting and involves a creative approach. A woman can independently create the necessary product of any form and give it to family and friends.

To create beautiful handmade soap roses you will need:

• transparent or white soap base;
• glycerol;
• alcohol;
• a tray or a wide plate;
• the form in the form of circles or a ready-made silicone form;
• dyes (red, pink and green for petals).

Delicate "soapy" roses exuding a stunning aroma will decorate the living room or bedroom, and also act as an original gift. In order for the flowers to turn out elegant and sophisticated, pay attention to the presented method of creating roses.

• We take a transparent base, melt it in the microwave and let cool.
• Add the pink dye and pour the mixture into a silicone form in the form of a rose.
• As soon as the mass hardens, spray the surface with a small amount of alcohol using a spray gun.
• We take the mount from the balloon and attach it to the "rose", which is in the form.
• Fill the mount with the remnants of the soap base. We are waiting for the mass to freeze.
• Next, we separate the rose from the soap from the mold and insert a long plastic stick into the mount.
• By analogy, we make 2 more flowers.
• Wrap roses with cling film (to avoid drying out and cracks).
• We connect the roses in a bouquet and wrap with tape.
• We take ready thin sheets of fabric / paper and gently glue them to the "stalks" of roses.
• Apply pearl powder to the buds (to give shine).
• We wrap the flowers in a beautiful wrapper and fix it with a golden ribbon.

If a bouquet of artificial roses acts only as an unusual accessory that needs to be put on a “prominent place”, then fragrant flowers from soap in a beautiful box are a more universal thing. A similar composition is suitable for the original decoration of the restroom. In addition, soap in the form of roses can be used for its intended purpose.

This creation process is very similar to the previous one. We take a soap base of white color and melt it in a water bath. Add to the mass a bright red dye and glycerin (1/10 part). Pour the mass onto a flat surface and allow to cool. Next, take out the red "canvas" and put it on the table. We cut out small circles, divide several of them with a knife in half.

We take a whole circle and form it in the shape of a dome. Next, attach the second circle to the “bud”, and bend its tips forward. Then we take the halves and fasten them to the bud, until we get the shape of a flower.

In this way we create 6 roses. When the flowers are ready, take a transparent box. Spread bright green tinsel on the bottom, and beautiful handmade roses on top. Cover with a satin ribbon and bandage. If the box is not available, you can use a small basket. For example, put “greens” from colored paper of green color at the bottom, then - 3 “soap” roses.
