Think what to give to your girlfriend, sister or mom? It seems that flowers are very commonplace, and sweets can ruin a figure? Present a bouquet of soap. This original present is easy to do with your own hands. Read all the details below.
Simple bouquet
To make a soap composition, we need blanks. You can buy them in any store for needlework or do it yourself. For the manufacture of rose balls, we need a soap base, dye and flavor. You can buy all this also in the needlework store. And immediately sold sets for creating a bouquet of soap.
Getting started making a gift. We melt the soap base, add dye and flavor there, pour it into molds. It remains to wait until our soap cools and hardens. After 7 hours you can get our workpieces. They can be in the form of hearts or hemispheres. We glue two halves together. How to do it fast? We heat the knife on fire and carry out one of the blanks, and then glue the second part. We get a volume ball or heart. We prick the resulting product on a wooden skewer and repeat our operation until the workpieces are finished. Since we are copying a real bouquet, make sure that the number of your balls or hearts is odd. A bouquet of soap is ready, put it in a pretty vase and decorate with beads and ribbons.
Sophisticated Bouquet
The second version of the gift is a complicated first option. Moreover, we make a bouquet of soap in the same way as in the first paragraph. The difficulty will be in the decor. We will need additional skewers, beads, artificial greens and a floral grid. We put our bouquet in a plastic vase. Since our soap balls are heavy, it is better to fill the vase with something, for example, with decorative stones. Glue the mesh along the edge of the vase, and drape it so that an abundance of folds forms. And now we fill the free space between soap balls with greens or other decor. You can, for example, as in our version, glue colored beads to the skewer and use them as a filling.
Bouquet of roses
The easiest way to build such a composition is to buy soap petals in a creative store. Of these, we will collect our gift, namely a bouquet of soap. MK (master class) will help us with this.
We take two petals and roll them up with a tube. To make the soap a little more plastic, you can heat it over a candle or gas. We formed the base and now we screw the petals to it one by one. We will fasten them with a well-heated knife. When the bud is ready, pierce it with a skewer, previously painted green. To make our soap bouquet look more realistic, it will be appropriate to add corrugated paper leaves to the flowers. You can also use artificial greens.
Such a bouquet can be collected both in the color of classic roses, that is, red or burgundy, and in other shades. Brown and flesh flowers look beautiful. In order to make the bouquet lush, you can again use the floral grid.
Bouquet of toys
Probably, every girl managed to get a composition from soft bears or mice. And we offer you to be creative and collect bouquets of handmade soap in the form of animals. Such a surprise will definitely be a surprise for any girl. Cute soapy animals will not dust around on a shelf, they can be used up. How to make such an unusual gift?
We will need to buy soap toys and some live roses or any other flowers of your choice. The main thing is that everything is combined among themselves with a single color scheme. We also need a mesh and floral felt. Each soap toy we make an individual "packaging" from the net, and then we stick the figure on the skewer. We combine these “flowers” with real roses and dilute the bouquet with other plants, to your liking. We pack it all in felt. We tape the legs of flowers and skewers with a ribbon.
Topiary
To make such a bouquet from handmade soap, we need a foam ball, a pot of stones and a decorative stick. We will use ready-made soap roses as flowers, and you can make them yourself. Instructions for their manufacture have been described above.
Using a hot gun, glue the stones in layers to each other. And starting from the third span we glue a decorative stick with stones. Our tree will be heavy, and for it to keep balance well, the top and bottom must be balanced. As a result, our stick should go into the depths of at least 10 cm. We close the stones on top with a piece of any beautiful material, it can be a piece of silk or dense chiffon. We proceed to the manufacture of the bouquet itself. Glue the foam ball to the stick. And we attach our roses to it. Fill the gaps between the colors with ribbons. The final touch will be the addition of our composition with beads.
Bouquet of real and soap roses
Today it has become fashionable to give flowers in boxes. And often there are added decorative elements, and even sweets. Therefore, we can support this topic and make a similar composition. How to make a bouquet of soap and fresh flowers? We need a large box. Paste it with colored or wrapping paper. And now we begin to collect a bouquet. First we put real flowers. And the second row - soap preparations. You need to attach sticks to them in advance. And it may not be skewers, but long pieces of wire, painted in green. As decorative elements, add greens - real, artificial or even soap. Here you can experiment.
Wrap the finished bouquet with floral felt and tie a ribbon. A variety of plastic or wooden inscriptions should be added as a decor. You can buy them in the store “all for needlework” or make them to order from local craftsmen. Our gift is ready.
You can also make a miniature variation of such a box. To do this, you need to use not roses on long legs, but small bush flowers. In a small box, put a floral sponge. Living and soapy roses fill all available space. As a decor, we use greens or plastic plates.
