Turn Bar Soap into Liquid Soap 79777.jpg

I would like to thank Rebecca Kelsey Sampson from Rebeccakelsey.com for the awesome video on how to turn Bar Soap into Liquid Soap. I organized it into a wiki for anyone with a hearing impairment, or for those who just prefer to read the steps. Hope you enjoy it. :)

Today I am going to show you how to make a DIY a liquid soap easy out of those old tiny soaps that you get from hotels. When you go on a vacation, and you feel it's such a waste to leave the soaps so you say "I should take these with me" or "look free soap, let me bring a lot of soap home". I've been doing that my entire life like since I was twelve. Every time I go on vacation with my family, I'll be the one in charge of taking the soap. Did we ever use the soap? No, because we just do like to buy our soap. It was wasteful, and underneath my sink I have like twenty bins of soaps. So I am going to figure out how to make use of it. I searched online on how to make a liquid soap out of bar soap, and that's what I am going to show you here.
