1/2# MP soap clear silk petals FO (1 1/2tsp) cosmetic grade glitter(optional) melt soap in pyrex cup in microwave ..do not boil..stirring every 15 seconds until melted..add FO and glitter..dip petal with tweezers and lay on waxed paper on a cookie sheet to dry..you can throw them in the freezer for like 5 minutes if you are impatient like me ..when dry package right away so they don't sweat..I got 148 petals out of 1/2 pound of soap..but I really coated the petals..I used a few and was able to wash my hands with the same petal 3x's. ..not recommened..they are supposed to be for single use. and yes you might have to reheat the soap a bit..just don't let it boil..and if you see lots of bubbles you can spritz the petal with alcohol. I love making these..you can get get some cute ones already boxed with ribbon from FIB..and just put them back in the box and add your label or hang tag after they are done...I think they have pink, red and white.
