Does anyone have any clever uses for left over slivers of hand soap?

I HATE throwing them away. There has to be some way to combine slivers or use them some other way.Does anyone have any clever uses for left over slivers of hand soap?
I bought a soap saver bag at Walmart for $1.00. It's made out of netting and has a neat closure on it. I throw the slivers in it and I keep it separated in a container in my sink. I wash the pets bowls with it, scrub shoes, any of the stuff I want to clean and not use our own sponges and scrubbers for. It works so good at cleaning and I use every last sliver of all the soaps in our home.Does anyone have any clever uses for left over slivers of hand soap?
Throw them away. I have tried to recombine in a blender with lotions etc., but it really turns into crap. Unless you are that thrifty, I say toss them. I quit buying ';bars'; of soap. Instead, I buy cheap shampoo (suave, ocean mist) and transfer it into a big pump bottle I use in the shower as body wash/ hair shampoo (really the same thing just a lot cheaper because it isn't called ';body wash';). It lasts longer than the same dollar amount of cumbersome soap and it doesn't leave soap scum all over the shower doors like bar soap does. So...grind them up, add pumice and use as hand cleaner if you must, then don't buy any more.
You could save the, microwave them and make them into liquid soap but you need alot to do this and a plastic bottle to put it in. Microwave them on an old plate that is microwaveable. Just don't throw them in the microwave by themselves.
Cut the foot off a pair of pantyhose. Put the slivers inside and tie it to your outdoor water spigot. When gardening or working on the car you can wash up outdoors.
cut the foot off of a pair of panty hose, about 6 inches. put the soap in it and tie the top. Voila, you have more soap.
you can melt them,and pour them in a mold and use them again,hope that helps.
I drop them inside the cistern of the toilet, where they dissolve slowly and keep the toilet nice and clean.
I firmly press the leftover slivers to the new bar of soap while they are both wet, at the end of a warm shower.
