Soap making - a very interesting leisure. It is especially valuable in that it can be practiced with children, creating their own exclusive things. Today I will show you how to make the Chamomile decorative soap. Everything you need for work can be bought in a specialized store for soap makers.

We will need


We will need:
• finished soap base (hereinafter referred to as MO): transparent 45g and white 40g. If there is no white, then it is easy to prepare it yourself by adding titanium dioxide to the transparent base (this cosmetic pigment gives white color to toothpastes and creams). First, it must be thoroughly frayed so that there are no lumps;
• mineral green pigment and neon yellow. In two-color soap, it is better to use pigments rather than dyes, as they do not "crawl" on top of one another, what happens to dyes. And neon yellow is brighter than mineral yellow, so I chose it;
• fragrance "mowed grass";
• mold for soap "Camomile";
• a thick-walled glass (or thick polyethylene) cup. It is needed for melting MO in the microwave;
• dry chamomile flowers - 1 tsp. (sold at the pharmacy). They need to be poured with boiling water, even if it is steamed. Chamomile in soap will work as a natural antiseptic and scrub;
• wooden ladybug for decoration of finished soap;
• a knife, a drill, a wooden stick for mixing the MO melt (from the sushi set).

We begin to create.

Start to create


We put finely chopped white MO in a glass and put it in the microwave for a few seconds. Mix the melt with a wooden stick until the MO is completely dissolved. Dripping 2-3 drops of perfume into the melt. Fill in the form at half volume. Let cool for 8-10 minutes.

cooled white part


On the cooled white part of the chamomile with a knife, we apply notches in the form of a grid. This is done so that the next green layer adheres more strongly to white and then the soap does not exfoliate.

melt in the microwave

Leave to freeze


Finely chop the transparent MO and also melt in the microwave, mixing well. Add 3-4 drops of green pigment to the melt. We drain water from chamomile flowers, squeeze them and also add to the melt. There we drip and 2 drops of perfume. You need to add everything quickly, because MO freezes. If this still happened, then it is again melted in the microwave. Photo No. 5. Before pouring the second half, sprinkle the white part with any alcohol (I have ant alcohol from the pharmacy). Fill the green part into the mold to the full extent. Leave to freeze for 10 minutes.

take out of shape


After complete cooling, the soap can be removed from the mold. It turned out such a cute little soap. You can leave it like that, but we will make it even more attractive.

drill the white middle


To do this, drill a large diameter, manually, drill the white middle of the soap to green (almost the entire depth is possible).

Cooking yellow fill


We prepare the yellow fill of the middle, as well as the previous ones: we melt the transparent MO, paint it in yellow and carefully fill it into the drilled hole. Leave to harden for 1-2 minutes.

decorate it with a wooden ladybug


The soap is almost done. It remains to decorate it with a wooden ladybug (it is glued with a drop of molten transparent base) and press a few grains of food poppy into the yellow center. Everything is ready.

Handmade soap


Such a soap is not a shame to give for any occasion, adding to it a beautiful napkin or towel. Good luck.
