Guest guest Posted May 9, 2002 Report Share Posted May 9, 2002 Glitz, I use the M & P that comes in blocks..it is easy to use as each square in the block is about 1 oz. of soap. When I did my petals, I melted 1/2 of the block and let me tell you...I had a TON of soap left over. You'll be surprised how many petals you can dip with that much soap !!! I think I finally ended up melting about 6-8 oz. at a time and that was enough to do one cereal-sized bowl of petals... As for the size of the petals..I only used the medium to large size petals..the really tiny ones I just saved for use in another project down the line..but that might be cute for the little ones..assuming they are old enough not to try and eat them... You are going to love these petals..they are so cute and fun to make..Great therapy after a hard day at work <G> HTH , Vicki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 9, 2002 Report Share Posted May 9, 2002 If I can help with giving something to our fellow women in the Military, let me know. I agree that would be a nice thing to do. Esther Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 9, 2002 Report Share Posted May 9, 2002 Anything else y'all can think of!! Small containers of massage oils might be nice. The stress level has to be high there. Blessings, Sherry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a great night! Jenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
