| .: Craft Tip :. |
| Mirror Mirror If you're interested in seeing your creations - graphic or otherwise - in an objective way, hold the item up in front of and facing a mirror from a distance of 3 to 5 feet.. You'll be better able to critique your item and tell where another detail may be added, or another color repeated, or an area needs to be broken up with an addition of something.I rely on this method with everything I make and it never fails to give me success!

| Making Old Fashion Soap Balls |
| Tuesday, September 12, 2006 |
Old Fashion Soap Balls
Old fashion soap balls can be created easily using either ivory or dove soap bars, they have the look and feel of old soap. For a more grungy looking soap ball roll them in spices such as cinnamon before they are completely set up (Caution do not use if you do this your skin may have allergic reaction to the spices- display only)
Ingredients:
1 cup of instant Quaker oatmeal
1 bar of ivory or dove soap
1/4 cup of water
Grind up the oatmeal in a food processor until finely milled but do not grind to flour you want it chopped up enough to break up the oatmeal flakes but still be visible
Grate the bar of soap into small slivers
Place the soap and water into a large microwavable bowl and microwave on high for 2-3 minutes. Stir the mixture once or twice making sure it does not bubble over
When the soap is dissolved remove from the microwave and add the ground oatmeal slowly stirring constantly
Let cool enough to touch then form into balls placing on wax paper to set and dry. It will take about 2 hours for them to set.
Oatmeal soap balls have a great old fashion look and can be displayed in old soap dishes, vintage jars, wooden bowls and baskets in primitive or country bathrooms or kitchens.
