2. Clean & Sanitize your work area and all of your packaging materials. It is suggested that you
wear gloves, protective clothing, and a hair net while preparing this recipe.
Each block of Natures Garden Goat's Milk Melt and Pour Soap is perforated into 40 cubes. Each
cube is approximately 1 oz. You will need a total of 19 cubes of soap to make this recipe. Plus
an additional 2 cubes of SLS Free glycerin melt and pour soap.
For the Flower Pot: This portion of the project will need 8 cubes of melt and pour soap. Place
the cubes into a microwave safe dish. Melt the soap in 30 second increments. Continue this
until all the soap is melted.
Once the soap is all melted, add 6 drops of FUN soap colorant brown oxide and 2 drops of FUN
soap colorant yellow oxide to the soap. Add 1/2 oz Sunflower fragrance oil. Stir.
To make the dirt: Melt 4 cubes of melt and pour soap. Once melted add 11 drops Fun soap
colorant black oxide and 7 drops Fun soap colorant Brown oxide. Stir.
Next, pour the dirt into a cookie sheet. Once this hardens, carefully pull the soap out and roll
it. Then, take the rolled soap to a cheese grater. Place this aside.
Additionally, take 1 cube of melt and pour soap (white), and grate it over the dirt. This will
simulate the potting soil.
For the Flowers: This portion of the project will need 5 cubes of melt and pour soap. Melt this
the same way as you did for the flower pot.
Once all the soap is melted, add 5 drops FUN soap colorant neon yellow, and 1 drop yellow
oxide. You will also add 1/4 oz fragrance oil. Stir.
Pour mixture into daisies embed mold. Spritz with alcohol to remove air bubbles. Set aside to
allow for set up.
While the flowers are setting up; it is time to prep the stem portion of your flowers. Melt 1 cube
of melt and pour soap. Once the soap is completely melted, add 4 drops Kelly Green Fun Soap
Colorant and 2 drops of fragrance oil. Stir.

3. While the mixture is still in liquid form, take a spoon and drizzle the melted soap over a
toothpick. Put several coats over the middle portion of the toothpick, but still allow the
pointed ends of the toothpick to show. These ends will be pushed into the sunflower soaps as
well as the pot to allow the flower to stand. Set your covered toothpicks aside to harden.
Assembly of the Flower Pot: Pop the pot out of the mold, clean up any imperfections, and set
aside. Pop the daisies (aka your sunflowers) out of the mold, and clean up any
imperfections. Set aside.
Place 1 cube SLS free glycerin melt and pour soap in the microwave, melt this. Once the soap is
in a liquid state, quickly spritz the center of the flower with alcohol, and carefully paint the
center portion of the sunflowers. Then, quickly and carefully, smash a small portion of the dirt
together with your fingers and place it over the clear soap. Allow this to dry. Repeat until all of
your flowers are done.
Next, carefully take your green toothpicks and insert one end into the flower. Repeat for all the
flowers. Set this aside.
Then, melt 1 cube SLS free glycerin melt and pour soap in the microwave. While the soap is
melting, spritz the center of the pot with alcohol. Once the soap is melted, gently pour this
over the center section of the pot. Quickly place the dirt over the melted soap.
Finally, carefully pick up the flowers and with the open toothpick end, gently push the flower
into the pot. Repeat until all flowers are in the pot.
Pour mixture into Flower Pot mold. Spritz with alcohol to remove air bubbles.
