Recycled Soap #1

We recently went on a long vacation and collected some partially used bars of hotel soap. Griffin did not want to waste them, so he saved the scraps and decided to recycle them. One of the complete bars of soap had a dish shape. Griffin decided to fill it in with soap scraps. He cut other bars of soap into small pieces. He added liquid soap colored with green food coloring as a glue. (Be careful, too much food coloring can stain your hands, clothes, and surfaces) Then he mashed them together to make a flat surface. Hopefully, then liquid soap will dry and hold it all together. He hasn't tried washing his hands with it yet, but it looks like a nice art project.

Update: after washing with the soap, Griffin says that it worked very well. The soap suds filled in some of the crevices, blurring the pattern slightly but making it stick together even better.
