How to Use a Vegetable Peeler to Create Soap Roses

The first step in creating the soap roses is to color the soap a nice rosy color! In the soap bar pictured we used Matte Americana Red Liquid Pigment in Premium Goat Milk MP Soap Base. Once the melted soap is our desired shade, we poured it into a Rectangle Soap Cup.

Once the soap hardened, we unmold it and began with the vegetable peeler. We held the pink soap bar in our left hand and used our right hand to carefully peel a layer of soap off the bar. The soap will naturally curl as the vegetable layer runs along the top of the soap bar. These are the rose buds!

Next, we continued in a similar manner with green soap to create the leaves. We used Matte Green Liquid Pigment with Premium Goat Milk MP Soap Base for the leaves. We peeled the green soap to create green soap curls then pinched one end of each soap curl to create an oblong shape that serves as our leaves.

Once the rose buds and leaves were made, we created a color coordinating loaf and embedded the roses and leaves on top.
