Soap Rose Petals for Party Favors, Mother’s Day, Girl Friends

I like the idea of giving some of these Soap Petals to my girlfriends for a little Mother’s Day treat and it would be fun to put them in the powder room if you work in a smallish office too.  They would also make a fun reception favor or be placed in the powder room of the ceremony or reception venue.  A little envelope of these would be nice to have in your handbag too.  But the best part is that you can give a little something and it won’t cost a lot of money… and really not much time either.

To use them just take a petal, run it under water and wash your hands with it.  After the petal is used it just gets tossed in the trash.  All the way around EASY!

Supplies:

  • Faux or “Silk” rose petals (they come in TONS of colors)
  • Soap Scent (or leave them unscented)
  • Clear Glycerin Soap
  • Microwave safe dish
  • Long tweezers

Melt several chunks of the soap and then, using your tweezers, dip each petal into the melted soap.  If the soap starts to get a film on it just put it back in the microwave for a few seconds to re-liquefy it.  Don’t heat the soap too much or it may cause the rose petal color to bleed out a little.

Slightly shake excess soap from the petal and then place it on a piece of parchment to set. The soap sets up quickly.

For a wedding favor or girlfriend gift you can place a few petals in an organza bag or on a small plastic silver dish. Place the dish in the center of a tulle circle, pull the sides up around to the top and tie off with a ribbon that has a small charm attached.

For the powder room you can just place a handful of petals in a small dish.  You might have to leave a little note card to tell your guests what the petals are for.

I did a little math and figured that the soap on the silver dish was about 85 cents each and the supplies I used made 48 favors with approximately 4 petals in each.
