This week we celebrated another week of awesome sales and promotions. While the promotions are over, there is still time to enter our Make it Month Contest. It has been so fun to see all your creations made with the Sunny Herb Garden and Carnation Fragrance Oils…keep em’ coming! We’ll do a blog post featuring all the entries in early June.
If you are looking for more soapy projects inspired by the garden, this week was full of floral projects. The Rose Garden Cold Process Tutorial is an advanced project utilizing soap frosting, mica swirls and the hanger swirl technique. If you enjoy the hanger swirl technique, this Tiger Stripe Hanger Swirl Tutorial is right up your alley. If you are looking for an easier project, these Elegant Coffee Filter Flowers can be made in minutes. The Victorian Heart Melt and Pour Tutorial is another project perfect for the beginner crafter. If you have never made melt and pour soap before, the Free Beginner’s Guide to Melt and Pour is full of information and tips.
Bath fizzies are another fun and easy project, and our Facebook Photo of the Week from Holly of Lotion Bar Cafe is a great example of a bath fizzy done well.
These colorful mimosa bath bombs are scented with Champagne Fragrance Oil, and smell as good as they look. Holly knows how to make fantastic bath fizzies, and has even written a book about the process! For those of you going to the Handcrafted Soap & Cosmetic Guild this year, don’t miss Holly’s talk on bath bombs on Tuesday, May 20 at 3:30 or later that evening at 4:45.
If you’d like to try making your own bath fizzies, the Mini Heart Bath Bombs are a great project to get started. Already a bath bomb master? These French Macaron Inspired Bath Bombs are perfect for the more experienced bath bomb makers. If you prefer bubbles in your tub, this Solid Bubble Bath Soap Queen TV episode will teach you how to creates lush bubbles for your bath.

Yay! I saw those pictures and the bath bombs look wonderful! Lovely! I have yet to try making them myself, but hopefully when my mold arrives from Bramble Berry I will give it a go myself 🙂
