🌸🧼 They look real… but those roses are SOAP!
Looking for the perfect summer break craft to keep the kids creative and having fun? This Soap Flower Bouquet project is super easy, totally gorgeous, and makes a beautiful handmade gift or decoration!
We used melt & pour soap, shimmering mica, fragrance oil, and our 3D Garden Rose and Wild Rose Silicone Molds to make the flowers — then arranged them in a ceramic pot with floral foam and a touch of faux greenery to complete the bouquet.
🧼 The roses are soap — the leaves and filler are just for decoration.

Your soap flower bouquet can be themed for every season and occasion:
Spring: Lavender, mint, lemon — perfect for Easter or Mother’s Day

Fall: Deep reds, golds, and rusts with cozy fragrances like cinnamon or vanilla
Winter: Icy whites, blues, or silver with fresh scents like peppermint or eucalyptus
Special Occasions: Weddings, birthdays, teacher gifts — the color and scent combos are endless!
Directions:
- Step 1: With a grown-up’s help, carefully cut the 70g soap base into small chunks to help it melt faster. Place all the soap chunks into one microwave-safe measuring cup.
- Step 2: Microwave the soap in short bursts (about 10–15 seconds), stirring in between, until completely melted. Add 1g of fragrance oil to the melted soap and stir well to mix.
- Step 3: Divide the melted, scented soap evenly between the two heat-safe cups. Spray a little isopropyl alcohol into two small mixing cups. Put a small scoop of one mica color into each cup—one color per cup. Then, pour the color into each cup with the melted, scented soap and stir well to mix the color evenly.
- Step 4: Carefully pour each colored base into the molds.First one color than top up with the other color. Tap gently to remove air bubbles.
- Step 5: Let the molds sit undisturbed until completely cooled and hardened — about 1 to 2 hours. Once firm, gently pop the soap flowers out of the molds.
- Step 6: Once your soap flowers are unmolded, gently press a wooden craft stick or floral stem pick into the bottom of each flower. Even when fully hardened, the soap is soft enough for the stick to go in easily without cracking.
- Step 7: Arrange your soap roses in a small ceramic pot filled with green floral foam, adding faux leaves or greenery to complete your beautiful bouquet!
Safety & Usage:
- Always have a grown-up supervise when cutting soap and heating it in the microwave.

-
Store your bouquet in a cool, dry place to keep it looking beautiful!
