Picture 1. The little mesh bags that produce from the grocery store sometimes comes in. I cut these so there is only a cut on bottom and top and it is still a complete circle. Sew fabric or bias tape on bottom to close it off. Make a casing on the top and run a string, twill tape (sewn in half length-wise) or some kind of smallish ribbon through the casing. Then put your soap slivers in and you can keep them from going down the drain. Plus the rather rough-ish bag makes a good scrubber. I cut plastic tub lids and sometimes milk cartons where there is a flat space into templates for my hexie projects. I like this better than the English method. Use a clean empty spool for a design in top of sugar cookies.
