Do you still have dandelion blowballs left after having made a dreams come true set? :)

Great idea!
By the way, I’ve presented other plaster moulds before.

They say in the tutorial: melt the soap and pour into molds or something like that.
Haha.
Actually there seem to be soap and soap, on the photo you can see what happened to my soap: it didn’t melt at all and I only got a slobbery mass.
Well, another time I will look better what kind of soap I’m buying ;-))
