OLD FASHIONED SOAP BALLS/BARS by Carole H

HOW TO MAKE OLD FASHIONED SOAP BALLS/BARS








1 cup of instant Quaker oatmeal

1 bar of ivory or dove soap

1/4 cup of water



Grind up the oatmeal in a food processor until finely milled but do not grind to flour. You want it chopped up enough to break up the oatmeal flakes but still be visible.



Grate the bar of soap into small slivers. Place the soap and water into a large microwavable bowl and microwave on high for 2-3 minutes. Stir the mixture once or twice making sure it does not bubble over.



When the soap is dissolved remove from the microwave and add the ground oatmeal slowly, stirring constantly.



Let cool enough to touch, then form into balls or bars and place on wax paper to set and dry. It will take about 2 hours for them to set.
