| | Recycling Soap - Using Soap Left-overs
Did you know that you can turn left-over scraps of soap into new bars of soap? Here's how:
Place into food processor the following: 50g broken soap scraps, 2
tablespoons rolled oats and 1 tablespoon dried or fresh herbs or flower
petals. Blend 10-20 seconds (only) to create a coarse powder. Pour
into small bowl. Add 1 - 2 dessertspoons cold water. Using fingers
blend the mixture well – you may need to add more water or dry
ingredients to achieve the right consistency. (Note: It may seem at
first that there is not enough water, but eventually the mixture will
blend). Roll
the mixture into small balls or press into biscuit cutters to make
various shapes. Place on tray and leave one week to dry. For stronger
scent add a few drops essential oil (lemon, lavender, or similar) to the
mixture or on your hands before rolling (wear gloves).
Other suggested
additives: spice powder (cinnamon, mixed spice, etc.) and/or grated
lemon peel.

| | Citrus or Rose Soap-Bags
Mix
together: 2 teaspoons grated soap, 1 teaspoon oatmeal and 1/2 teaspoon
grated citrus peel or chopped fresh rose petals.
Mix well
Spoon into
the centre of a pretty piece of fabric or handkerchief. Tie with
matching ribbon. (Or, if handy with the sewing machine make up a small
pillow or sachet). Use in place of soap when showering, bathing or hand-washing.
