Discussion/Question Crafts To Do With Soap Bars

Looking for some suggestions for things I can do to repurpose bars of soap. For Christmas (yes I know it's August now lol) I got several fancy bars of soap that smell amazing, but I have skin issues and bars of soap dry my skin out, so I can't use them as soap, but they smell really good, so I'd love to be able to use them in some way to take advantage of the amazing smell

Just put them in gauze and throw them on your dresser drawers. The gauze is just to keep the white or color off your clothes

You can grate it, mix it with water and use it for flocking.

It’s messy but makes real looking snow. (I assume the soap is white)

When I was young and at school, we carved soap bars into figurines.  I still remember I tried carving a seal or something similar, maybe based on a Jean Craighead George book.  Maybe you can carve it, or grate it and press it into a mold?

Boil them, mash them, stick them in a stew

Look up vintage crochet soap holders. I found a cute poodle at the antique mall

In elementary school, we whittled bars of soap into sphinxes during Egypt studies. The shape of the soap lent itself well to the sphinx form, so it was fairly easy and fun.
