If you use a double boiler, you can melt it down and form it into little ice or cookie molds. Then you can dress then up with nylon net or other stuff and make your presents like we used to!

Put them in a piece of old panty hose leg, Tie a knot and use. Like soap on a rope without the rope.

The soap ball is one clever idea, here's what I do with those pieces of soap. Like you I don't throw them away, I keep them in a qt. jar, one they are somewhat different to look at; two, something to collect those pieces to turn into a soap ball or bar and I also use them in my laundry. I take a cheap (thin) washcloth, sew up the ends, leaving the side open to sew some velcro for a open/closure; place a couple of those pieces of soap inside, close & drop into the laundry. You can do the same thing with homemade lye soap as well. Its like added power. The soap bar can have a cotton rope hanging from it & use it in camping.

Well my mom used to do this but I don't remember if it worked but you can try to put it in the oven and I think it makes some kind of gooie substance the you take it outside and let it harden the it will be a play dough like thing.
ps. Remember I said I don't remember so be careful.

Here is a post that I submitted of how to make soap balls. I never throw left over soap away, I use it to the very end.

What to do with those ends of bath soap bars too small to use, but too large to discard? Here are some ideas from the ThriftyFun community.
