FRANKEN-SOAP (or making new soap from old soap)
Now ghoulish friends, you know i love to reuse and recycle and this little article just gladdened my blue black heart.
To recycle your soap scraps into new bar soap, place 2 cups of grated soap scraps in a saucepan and cover them with water. Let them soak for 24 hours, giving them a stir every now and then. Next, bring the pan to a boil, remove it from heat and add a tablespoon of vegetable oil for each cupful of soap soup. Pour the mixture into molds–milk cartons work great. After they've hardened, you can cut them into smaller bars, but let them cure for two weeks before you use them.
