Soap scraps

What can I do with all the tiny ends of bars of soaps? I'm sure I once saw a soap press where you could turn them into a big bar. A bit like the newspaper brick maker for the fire. I can't find anything like that now.
Any suggestions? Thanks

I just take the scrap and the new bar, get them both wet and press them together between my hands. It's always worked for me.

Just melt them in the microwave and then pour it in a mould like a cupcake case or ice cube tray

Baggysoap are great. Hang in the shower. When almost run out, leave old scraps in and add new bar to the bag. No wastage.

You can also collect them in, for example, a sock, and then use it as a scrubber in the shower or bath.

One of my friends mums used to put soap scraps in old tights and she said that worked fine :)

Stick them all in an old sock and squish them together when you have enough to make a “bar” then take sock full of soap to the shower and use as a body scrubber.

Grate and then put into hot water. Decant into spray bottles or just add dry grated soap to mop bucket to cleans floors and kitchen surfaces.

Just stick it to the next bar of soap.
