  Step 1

  Gather you supplies for two small bars I used 8 small hotel bars. These happened to be the same, but you can use different soaps, as long as the fragrance isn't too strong.

  Since I was using ground coffee and cinnamon oil I figured the two scents would cancel out anything else.

  Step 2

  You will now grate the soap into med. pieces. Since my grater is horrid I just used a knife. The soap crumbled very easy.

  Step 3

  Next you mix all the ingredients
  *Cut up soap
  *6 drops of cinnamon essential oil
  *2-3 tablespoons of ground coffee
  *Enough water to make mixture wet

  Now microwave for 30 second increments until the soap bubbles.

• Step 4

  Now spoon your mixture into a SILICONE ice cube mold if you have one, or use an oiled muffin pan as "the farmer's wife" suggested.

  Let your soap rest a day or until it is hard enough to pop out of the mold.
  Once I got mine out I smoothed the rough edges just to make it prettier. :)

  Step 5

  Now that your soap is done, package it! I wanted to be able to smell the soap while it was in the package so I left vents in the sides. this will also allow it to further dry out.

  Step 6

  Here is my complete coffee inspired gift for my dad. :)

  I put the soap in a small coffee bag for gifting.

Great idea!

I make my own soap but used your recipe of coffee and cinnamon and it smelled gorgeous!

Awesome. And my gpa just got about 600 hotel soap bars from a friend (yeah... don't ask) so I am definitely going to try this!
