Oatmeal Soap

 

Here is a clever project. And it recycles the leftover soap slivers from

your sink, shower, or tub.

Ingredients:

1/2 Cup Oatmeal

1/2 Cup Small Soap Pieces

1 1/2 Tablespoons Cooking Oil

1 Tablespoon Water

 

Directions

:

Place soap slivers in a plastic bag, and pound them into little chunks.

Place the chunks in a blender, add oatmeal, and pulse until mixture has

a grainy consistency. Pour into a bowl and remove any oversized chunks

of soap - add the oil and water and mix with your hands. Form into a

firm ball and let set until hard -- about 2 hours

..

To make " soap-on-a-rope, " make a 1 1/2 inches long indentation in the

ball immediately after it's formed. Tie the ends together of a 12 inch

length of twine. Press the knotted end into the indentation. Mold soap

firmly over twine. Let set until hard.

 

Alternative: for pumice-like soap use cornmeal in place of the oatmeal
