Today I’m showing you how to make bubble bath flowers. I can't even begin to tell you how excited I am to share this project with you- I’ve never been this excited for a tutorial before! The flowers are absolutely stunning! They are fun to make but a bit time-consuming.
You'll need dissolving paper or wafter paper. Unless you can draw a flower, you may need something to trace petals with. You’ll need a few different size petals; each will be used to draw a different size petal set. * I cut 4 sheets into 4, 5, 6, & 7 inch squares (this will make 1 flower). Draw a circle with petals all the way around. As petals get larger, so should the circle. Staple & cut 3-4 sheets together. COATING: 3 tablespoons liquid bubble bath, 1 tablespoon SLSa [sodium lauryl sulfoacetate] (optional) -to boost bubble power. Microwave & stir until SLSa powder is dissolved. *Watch this while in microwave; it bubbles up. Add ½ teaspoon each of polysorbate 80 & fragrance oil (optional). *If you add too much fragrance oil, the petals become spotted & ugly. Polysorbate 80 is recommended if using fragrance oil, mica, or another dry colorant so that it mixes well in water. Use any type of color that you want! I used liquid food colorant. Paint the flower then let it dry. Then turn it over & paint the other side. While flower is still wet on one side, transfer it to a cup; the size/shape of the cup creates the cup shape/size. Lightly hit the petals with a heat gun. Once it can hold a shape, take the petals off the cup to finish drying. TRICKS: For extra bubbly flowers, you can paint multiple layers. However, do NOT over work the paper. Paper is stiff when dry & rips easily when wet. Don’t over-heat petals or dry them all the way with the heat gun as it becomes VERY brittle & will break. Do not over-saturate the flower with liquid. Only paint thin layers at a time. DETIALS: For a more realistic look, curl edges & lightly heat them while the petals are still wet. You could also score in veins with a stylus. ASSEMBLY: Once petal sets are dry, assemble flowers by placing one flower/petal set into the next (like Russian nesting doll). To finish the flower, add a few more petals & spray skin-safe fragrance oil on top. Quick tip: Use bubble bath coating to permanently affix petals; lightly brush some bubble bath coating on bottom, press down, & hold it in place for a bit. Make sure the petal is secure & leave it alone for a few hours. Don't touch it during this time. The rest of the flower will be vulnerable during this time, too (anywhere the liquid seeps into). RESULTS: I only used a few loose petals, but they produced a good number of bubbles. I was pleasantly surprised because the petals were only single coatings. I could only imaging if I put 2-3 coats on each. The petals dissolve completely over time, or quickly with agitation.
