1. Using a cheese grater, shred up your soap bits. If the soap has been around awhile, you may want to add a very small amount of essential oil or superfatting oil to moisten the mix slightly. |
| 2. Divide the grated soap into oversized loosely squeezed balls. Remember that the final ball will have been squeezed considerably and then cut in half so be generous. | ![]() |

3. With one hand on top of the soap and one underneath, gently squeeze the ball and rotate. Repeat this until the ball is fairly firm and then roll on the counter while applying gentle but steady pressure. |
4. Once the balls reach their desired firmness, carefully cut them in half. You may need to fix up the edges a little.
5. Allow them to cure for a week or two so that more of the moisture evaporates and the balls firm up.
