Instructions in 17 steps For this exceptional soap, combine both techniques. The square-shaped base must be cast, the rose on top is shaped by means of the kneading-soap.

Besides the articles listed below, you also need: Kettle, cooking oil, craft sticker, kitchen scales, pot, melting pot, small plastic container, stirrers

And this is how it works:

Step 1

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.

Step 3

Pour it dropwise.

Step 4

Pour the liquid soap up to about 5 mm of the lower border of the soap casting mould.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Demould the soap by a slight pressure.

Step 7

Put a cream rosette (see instructions for cream rosette) with some liquid white soap onto the moulded soap piece and thereupon the finished rose out of kneading soap.

Step 8: Cream rosette

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

Step 9

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

Step 10

Then knead the mixture well again.

Step 11

Build together a pastry bag (without a bag) and fill it with some kneading-soap.

Step 12

Push the kneading-soap with a finger through the tip and shape at once the pushed out mixture. Press the shaped rose into the still wet cream rosette (see instructions).

Step 13: Rose out of kneading-soap

Mix the kneading-soap with hot water, the cooking oil and the soap dye.

Step 14

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

Step 15

Then knead the mixture well again.

Step 16

Take out from the mixture a ball 0.50 up to 1 cm big (according the size of the rose) and shape a rose petal out of this ball that you should bend carefully to the middle of the rose. You can fix small cracks by a wet finger.

Step 17

Now, shape the next rose petal in the same way and lay it onto the first one. Repeat the whole process with the next rose petals and lay them around. Bend a bit outwards the upper border of each flower petal.

Additional info: 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 floral gift-foil (item no.81 489 00). Clean the soap casting mould and the pots with hot water.
