Onion soap holder

If the bottom is sharp, melt it a little with a cigarette lighter to make it softer. -Open the bag and put a bar of soap inside, with the narrow end facing downward. -Tie a knot directly after the bar of soap in the bag, securing it in place. -Tie a loop on the other end of the bag so that you can hang it in the shower. -Use the soap in the same way as normally. The onion bag will act as an exfoliate for your skin. -While you are not using the soap, hang the bag. The soap will dry. This is a benefit, since otherwise, the soap could remain wet and melt.
