How to Make a Soap Holder out of a Bag of Onions

Step 2 Eat onions, procure bag

Sounds simple enough, right? Well... right.

Snip open the bag of onions from the top, not from the bottom. Depending on the type of mesh bag that you got with your veg, there should be an end that is open and sealed with either a label, a knot, or a metal/plastic ring. Either untie the knot or snip open the bag beneath the closure.

Now, empty the bag of onions and proceed to prepare them as you normally would. 


The bottom of the bag should be sealed already, usually either by melting or being knit closed. If the bottom has a metal ring closure (or isn't sealed at all) than you'll want to cut the ring out to prevent rust. and then seal the bottom by either tying it off or melting it shut with a bic lighter.

You now have a mesh bag perfect for holding, amongst numerous other things, bar soap!



NOTE: If the melted nub at the bottom of the bag is a bit sharp (the one pictured is a bit scratchy) then you can gently melt down the corners by passing a lighter near the edge. Be careful though, as the flame can easily melt a hole through the net.
