And if somebody in your house goes looking for the mitre box…it’s still a mitre box and can be used as such! Just pull out the side inserts!
Mitre Box Soap Mold
From Contributed by Pat Tyson of Pitterpat Skincare, for About.com
Pour the soap. Let it harden the appropriate amount of time. When it is ready to cut, pull out all of the sides of the mold. Lift up the lining. Use the miter box to help you cut.
