skill level: easiest
cost: under $5
craft time: 2 minutes

bar of Ivory Soap (This only works with Ivory)
microwave
paper towel

Cut a bar of Ivory soap into 4 equal pieces.
Place one piece on a paper towel and microwave for approximately 30 seconds.
The timing depends on your microwave.
Watch the soap "grow".
Take the expanded soap out with the paper towel and form into a ball.
Be careful, the soap may be hot.
Then repeat the process with the other soap pieces.
Wrap in tulle or just set around your house.
These permanent soap balls can also be used for a fun time in the bath.
