Hot Craft Idea: Soap Saver with Soap Shavings
Lots of people are throwing out those plastic shower scrubbies. If they aren’t replaced once a month or so, they can be a breeding ground for bacteria. Why not replace them with a natural cotton scrubber, aka the soap saver?
The soap saver is just a pouch made to hold either a bar of soap or soap shavings. It’s cheaper to use bar soap than bath or shower gel. With the soap saver, you get the same lather. Unlike the plastic scrubbies, the cotton svers can be tossed into the laundry when they need to be cleaned. Easy.
Here’s a pic of one I made in afghan stitch:
These are very easy to make. They can be crocheted, knitted, sewn, or afghan stitched. I plan to write out my pattern for these at some point in the near future. When I do, I’ll post a link on this blog!
To make soap shavings, just use a potato peeler to shave a bar of your favorite soap. I recommend using a separate peeler just for this to avoid any soapy mix ups lol.

I love to do crafts and read, but I find myself with enough time to work and then relax. I hope to improve this misfortune this next month. I like this idea.
