Tutorials on soapmaking, bath fizzies, lotions and more
This week featured several tutorials inspired by the new Spring Fever Fragrance Collection. The collection includes Blooms and Berries Fragrance Oil, which has notes of strawberry, pear, jasmine and musk. To complement the scent, the Painted Berry Bath Bombs have a green, purple and pink design on top. The design is created by mixing mica with 99% isopropyl alcohol and “painting” on top of each one. It’s a fun way to dress up bath bombs.
Sunflowers are such a cheerful flower. The vibrant yellow petals instantly make me think of spring and summer. To create these Sunflower Soap Bars, I used the Sunflower Mold and the new Sunflower Fragrance Oil. I brought the soap to a thick trace and colored it brown and yellow. Then, I placed the colors into different areas of the mold. The end result is adorable sunflower soaps that fit perfectly in your hand. This project could easily be made with melt and pour soap as well; I would recommend using the Yellow Oxide Color Block and Brown Oxide Color Block in Clear Melt and Pour Base.
While sunflowers do not have a scent, I think the Sunflower Fragrance Oil captures their essence perfectly. The fragrance is complex with notes of sweet grass, grapefruit, jasmine and sandalwood. It’s a sophisticated floral that’s sure to become a favorite.
