I cheated a bit by using new soap because regular bars are too big to rest on our toilet sink... I had to think of a way to make them fit. This is a fun way to make some home made soaps! You could save and use those leftover soap. A lot of times, when soap is small enough, I just throw it, or it becomes too small and it literally, goes down the drain... mix it together, shape and use again!

- cut the soap into small pieces - pour water on simmer in bottom part of a double boiler! - put the soap into the top of the double boiler. - add a little water in with the soap. - stir soap with water continuously until soap softens. - Add water as necessary, but only until soap is entirely mixed and is in thick paste.
- put the paste into a mold. - Let it set until hardened
