Craft: Soap Mitt

Handy Soap Mitt

My youngest daughter uses a specialty face soap. It's a wonderful locally made, handcrafted soap. It is such a wonderful product! There is only one drawback: once the bar is reduced to a small size, it is hard to hold. I can't begin to tell you the number of times the soap has slipped out of her hands during use.

Being the type of "fix-it" mom that I am, I made a soap mitt for the slippery bar.

To make your own soap mitt, you will need a washcloth, scissors, thread, sewing machine or sewing needle (if you prefer to sew by hand)

Step 1: Using your scissors, cut the wash cloth in half.

Step 2: Fold the washcloth in a trifold pattern. Leave plenty of room to slip your soap into your finished product.

Step 3:  Sew both ends of the mitt shut. After sewing, turn the mitt out (so that the sewn edges are now inside of the mitt).

Now, your mitt is ready to use!
