I saw this adorable
idea at cleanscent for making pumpkins shaped soaps, and I'm pretty sure these were a requirement this year in my life called 'fall 2012.'
All you have to do is shre some soap using a cheese grater. I added about 4 drops of orange coloring (they sell stuff to color soap where you buy soap squares in the craft store, or you can use food color). I also added some cinnamon scent (they also sell scents, but I used the flavoring from my kitchen oils). A little goes a long way!
I worked it with my hands and squished it into a ball. I wanted little pumpkins soap so they can be used and discarded easily, so I only shredded 2 soap cubes. You could also grate any store soap, or hotel soap assuming it's one of the softer soaps that will grate up easily.
Once it's in a ball, I used a knife to carve the lines and pushed a stick in the center (you could also use cinnamon sticks-but sticks are free around my house).
How easy are these little guys? Now I'm off to make a few hundred more for the one guest I'll have over this fall.
