Easy-to-make soap cakes are an ideal way to turn leftover soap scraps, too small to use but too good to throw away, into luxurious, spicy, scented treats.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n 2 Lb. 2oz.\/1 kg. leftover soap<\/span><\/p>\n 1 Tbsp.\/15 ml spring water<\/span><\/p>\n 1 tsp.\/5 ml glycerin<\/span><\/p>\n \u00c2\u00bd tsp\/2.5 ml cinnamon essential oil<\/span><\/p>\n 1 Tbsp.\/15 ml sweet orange essential oil<\/span><\/p>\n 10 drops clove bud essential oil<\/span><\/p>\n \u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Coarsely grate the leftover scraps of soap into a large mixing bowl. Add the spring water, glycerin, and essential oils and mix well. Cover the bowl with a clean cloth and leave to stand for about 15 minutes, until soap is slightly soft and pliable. If the soap you use for grating is fairly new, you may find that you do not need to leave it to soften. Scoop up a handful of the mixture and press it firmly together. Push it firmly into your mold. If you do not have a suitable soap mold, you could simply roll your soap into a ball. The more you compress the mixture into the molds, the better your soap cakes will be. Push out of the mold and stand your soap cakes somewhere to dry and harden. They should be ready to use in a day or two.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Easy-to-make soap cakes are an ideal way to turn leftover soap scraps, too small to use but too good to throw away, into luxurious, spicy, scented treats. \u00c2\u00a0 2 Lb. 2oz.\/1 kg. leftover soap 1 Tbsp.\/15 ml spring water 1 tsp.\/5 ml glycerin \u00c2\u00bd tsp\/2.5 ml cinnamon essential oil 1 Tbsp.\/15 ml sweet orange essential […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32,22,42,16,23,15],"tags":[173],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/mom\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1533"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/mom\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/mom\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/mom\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/mom\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1533"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/mom\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1533\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2326,"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/mom\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1533\/revisions\/2326"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/mom\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1533"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/mom\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1533"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/mom\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1533"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
