That calendar informed me July is Ice Cream month (of course it is) and this quilt flashed before my eyes. As if the idea could melt, I ran to the sewing machine to start. That’s how Scoops & Cones was born, but not where it began.I’m an admitted ice cream fan.

I eat ice cream all year round. In the winter, it’s a rare gift I relish, and in the summer, an utter necessity. I recently counted all the pints in my freezer and realized I had nine different flavors I was nibbling on a spoonful or two at a time.I’ve learned a lot about life from quilters through the years. One such quilter faithfully ran every morning, and equally faithfully ate a small cone of soft serve afterwards. She said that when she retired, she realized she didn’t want to go another day of her life without a little ice cream in it. It’s one of my favorite lessons someone has ever shared with me, and I try to live by its message every day.So, allow me to introduce you to the Scoops & Cones quilt.

It’s 60″ square finished and features 40 ice cream cones, a low-volume background, and patchwork or foundation paper piecing construction.

How Do They Make Patchwork Ice Cream Maker

Happens, you will see beautiful soap, and already hands are pulledcreate the same or similar, but. Need just such a form!

Which, unfortunately, can not be bought anywhere. But today's master class is not one of those. With the popularization of homemade ice cream recipes, a set of molds for the delicacy casting appeared in almost every kitchen.

And it has not yet finally gotten warm - I suggest using it with fantasy, namely, using it to make original soap in the form of ice cream. In this MK I will create soapy ice cream. This soap looks very appetizing and smells delicious, for some time can serve as a decoration of the bathroom.

But in the end be sure to use it for its intended purpose! Moreover, it is very convenient to hold such a shape in your hands, and the wand is easily detached. Make a few soap 'ice cream' in reserve - and you always have on hand will be gifts for any occasion.

To make ice cream soap, you will need:white soap base 150 gr.; pigments for soap: blueberry, pink, yellow; strawberry pie flavoring; alcohol. Tools: heat-resistant dishes; wooden stick for mixing ingredients; toothpick; wooden stick for ice cream. DIY ice cream soap: a job descriptionFor each layer you need an equal amountBasics - in my case, it took about 40 grams: it all depends on the volume of your form, so before you start work, I advise you to know in advance the capacity of the container (this can be the label on the form itself or the inscription on the package; or you can check it with experienced by - fill the form with water, and then pour it into a measuring spoon or glass) and divide the resulting volume by the number of layers in our soap dish. So, first of all you need to melt the foundation. I use a microwave on medium power to melt soap, setting the timer for 15 seconds; then check the status of the soap and, if necessary, add another 10 seconds. Make sure the base does not boil!

Otherwise, it will become unsuitable for further use. The melted base is painted with three drops of pink pigment.

We flavored melted soap with the help of fragrances: 5 drops are enough, but if you want a very rich aroma, we increase the amount at our discretion. Mix everything well and pour the soap into the mold, then immediately sprinkle with alcohol to eliminate the possibility of air bubbles on the surface of the filled layer. The frozen first layer must be thoroughly scratched with a toothpick: this will allow the soap layers to firmly adhere to each other. When the previous layer completely hardens, melt the next 40 grams of white base. Dye it yellow, dripping three drops of pigment. Flavor with a perfume and stir well. The previous layer in the form is re-sprinkled with alcohol: this measure will also have a positive effect on the adhesion of the layers.

Fill the base in the form and once again sprinkle with alcohol. Before pouring the last layer is necessaryprepare ice cream stick. I use a regular sushi stick. Using scissors, I cut it in half, then use a pair of pliers to flatten the end of the wand a bit from the side of the cut. Scratch the previous layer of soap with a toothpick. And, until the last layer is completely frozen, we insert a wand into it so that it is about half peeking out of the form. The last layer of soap: melt in the microwave, painted in blueberry color.

Spray the previous layer with alcohol. Fill the last layer of the soap base, sprinkle it with alcohol. And only after the soap has completely set, we take outits out of shape: do not pull the wand, and gently undertake the soap itself. If this is a gift, immediately put in a transparent bag and tied with a bow. Funny ice cream ready. I hope the master class was useful for you and did not leave questions on how to repeat the whole process.
