From bar to liquid

Ok, sooo I thought I would try another frugal idea I saw here.  It's taking  bar of soap and making it into liquid soap.  The direction are "simple." So here's my go at it.

First the supplies:
2Tbsp of Glycerin, found in the bandaid section
8 oz bar of favorite soap
1 gallon of water
grater
stock pot







So first things first, Shave that bar of soap!  I must say I really don't enjoy this step lol.  But hey, who said work is easy?!




Then you add your glycerin, and water to your soap shavings and heat on medium/high heat until the shavings melt.  It will look like soapy water, mine was quite clear, some are more milky.
















So that's it! Well that's supposed to be it.  Your supposed to let it cool for 10-12 hours.  Ya- mine was still water lol.  Well I wasn't willing to give up on it so I just let it sit lol.  And after two days its started to finally cloud up.  So I thought "Let's put it in the fridge and see what happens..."






 HAHAHA this is what happened!!!! A solid pot of gel soap!


Well that won't work, so the girl I got the idea from said she put hers in the mixer... Oh why not...     Well that made a mess cuz of course I put too much in lol  But it did get it more liquid like.  
















So I poured it into these containers (later pouring it into 1 gallon jug) It still has some tiny gel clumps, but I think it shall work! It was an adventure but I'm hoping for the best!
