Single-Use Flower Petal Soaps
Learn to make some pretty single-use soaps for your guests!
You Will Need:
- Fabric Flowers or Fabric Flower Petals
- Melt & Pour Soap Base (Your Choice)
- Bath & Body Safe Fragrance
- Soap Colorant (Optional)
- Tweezers
- Cookie Sheet
- Microwave Safe Measuring Cup
1. Melt your soap base in the microwave (see Melt & Pour Soap Instructions), add your fragrance, and colorant if desired. While your soap is melting, prepare your flower petals. If you are using fabric flowers, cut the individual petals off using scissors.
2. Using something such as tweezers, dip the petals into the melted soap base. Allow most of the excess soap to drip off of the petal, and then lay the petal on a cookie sheet to cool. Repeat the process until you have your desired amount of petal soaps.
3. Once the petals are completely cool, remove them from the cookie sheet and place the soaps in something such as a decorative basket next to the sink for your guests.
These petal soaps are perfect for get-togethers. Each petal can be used to scrub the grime off of dirty hands, and can be discarded after use, so that each guest can use their own personal soap. Plus, they add beauty to any bathroom decor.
I actually have made these using Peak Candle's clear M&P base and the rose bouquet fragrance oil. They turned out wonderful. I have had a request to make more for a local bridal shop to use in their powder room.
PS -I love your products!
i have done these and everyone loves them, a cheap add-on item for your booth !
I arrange parties at home at many occasions. It often happens, that after the food, guests use only one soap. If it's a bar soap they all rub the same soap in their hands, and if it's a liquid soap then most of the soap goes to the drain due to misuse. But thsi idea of yours is truly good, creative, elegant, and economical.
I am an event manager and the information on this blog is really very helpful for me. I am getting new and creative ideas which can be used on a very large scale and which will attract my customers a lot. The idea of petal soap is just unique. I manage marriage functions, housewarming functions and so on. This soap is a very good idea for such occasions. Every time I have to search new ideas to introduce in my business and I will sure visit frequently to see new updates here .
I can say that this product smells so good just looking at it. I wanna try using this soap and scrub it to my body. I want to recommend this to my love ones to use. I wanna buy this stuff. Thanks for the information

what happens to the cloth after use?
Hello Amina!
When melting your soap, we suggest cutting chunks off, a couple inches in diameter and using a microwaveable container, slowly melting the base in 30-second intervals. The melting process should only take minutes, but using a water bath would take longer. Hope this helps!
Hello Judy!
After using the soap from each petal, you can simply throw away the fabric left behind, or save it and use again if you wish. If you do decide to use the fabric again, I would suggest using the same fragrance oil as you would not want two oils to mix that might not appeal to your nose. Hope this helps!
