Instructions in 19 steps The little tea cake, which is made for washing hands, looks so real. Fold up and cut out the box with see-through lid from the scrapbooking paper.

Besides the articles listed below, you also need: Ruler, scissors, pencil, scales, pot, melting pot, small plastic container, stirrers, kettle, cooking oil, craft stick

And this is how it works:

Step 1: Soap

Melt the creative-soap in a water-bath on the stove (max. 60° - do not boil).

Step 2

After the complete melting, you can stir the desired colour and/or fragrance oil in the liquid soap. Therefore, use a wooden spatula or a teaspoon. Pour it dropwise.

Step 3

Let the soap dry well out (at least 2-3 hours, ideally one day).

Step 4

Demould the soap by a slight pressure.

Step 5

Impale the poured-out soap onto the wooden skewer and dip it into the chocolate glaze (see instructions for chocolate glaze) and let it dry well.

Step 6

Glue the cutout flower on (see instructions for cookie cutter) with some white liquid soap onto the cast piece of soap.

Step 7

Then put a cream rosette (see instructions for cream rosette) on which you put further a coffee bean shaped out of coloured kneading-soap.

Step 8: Chocolate glaze

Melt the creative-soap in a water-bath on the stove (max. 60° - do not boil). After the complete melting, you can stir the nougat colour in the liquid soap. Therefore, use a wooden spatula or a teaspoon Pour it dropwise.

Step 9: Cookie cutter

Melt the creative-soap in a water-bath on the stove (max. 60° - do not boil).

Step 10

After the complete melting, you can stir the desired colour and/or fragrance oil in the liquid soap. Therefore, use a wooden spatula or a teaspoon. Pour it dropwise.

Step 11

Pour the melted soap onto a flat surface such as a small lid or some aluminum foil. Once the soap hardened, after at least half an hour, you can cut the desired motifs out by means of the cookie cutters.

Step 12: Cream rosette

Mix the kneading-soap with hot water and the cooking oil – 50g of the kneading-soap with 20ml of hot water and about 5ml of the cooking oil.

Step 13

Stir this mixture with a craft stick and let it rest for 10 minutes.

Step 14

Then knead the mixture well again. Build together a pastry bag (without a bag) and fill it with some kneading-soap.

Step 15

Push the kneading-soap with a finger through the tip and shape at once the pushed out mixture.

Additional info and tools: The soap dries or rather carries on ripening and becomes thereby firmer (two up to three weeks). Depending on the temperature and airiness, the soap can perspire. We recommend therefore to wrap the soap after its demoulding in a cellophane foil. Clean the soap casting mould and the pots with hot water.

Step 16: Wrapping

Cut the paper cutting by means of the stencil and fold all dotted lines for e.g. with the Sure Cut paper cutting machine and folding blades.

The stencil of the packaging can be found in the PDF version of the craft idea. Just download it.

Step 17

Then cut the solid lines out.

Step 18

Glue the cutting of the crystal clear rigid film in the box with the double-sided adhesive tape.

Step 19

At the end, stick together the box by means of the double-sided adhesive tape.
