Add 1 tablespoon of the unfavored gelatin to each of the small bowls.
Add 3/4 hot water into each bowl and whisk until gelatin is dissolved.
Gently whisk in 1/2 cup body wash or soap and 1 teaspoon of glycerin to each bowl.
Mix in the yellow colorant and lemon essential oil to one bowl and pink colorant and grapefruit essential oil to the other.
Spray the mold with the rubbing alcohol. Cover 3 cavities of the mold with the yellow mixture and 3 cavities with the pink. Add some of the flowers to each cavity of the mold. Spray with alcohol and place in fridge for about 45 minutes, or until very firm.
Spray each cavity with rubbing alcohol. Add some leaves and gently pour your soap to the top. Spray with the alcohol. You may want to arrange the leaves as they will move a bit when you pour in the soap. Place back in fridge for at least 2 hours or until very firm.
Remove from mold and place in an airtight container until ready to use. If it is warm, you may find it best to store these in your fridge until you are ready to use them.
