I have to be honest, I am really not a big fan of them. I understand that they are both a washcloth and a soap in one but c'mon, is that really necessary?
Anywhoo, there are people that like them and can't live without them - so for all of you out there in that category, I present to you: The Felted Soaps.

These guys are definitely my favorite. Simple with a little pop of color. They might make a great gift for Valentine's day.

Cute. I have no idea how they made them because it looks like a lot of work so I'm quite impressed with these.

And which household does not need a felted soap ornament I ask?!?

Once the felt is rubbed into the soap, they have to be set out to dry for a couple of hours.

It looks like a great arts and crafts project

And finally if you don't have the patience to make a felted soap, you can always just wrap some felt around it as the packaging.
