We did a similar thing with soap during the art lessons at school.
It was many years ago when soap was a bit of luxury item (especially a nice one, not the brutal variety factory workers would use after their shift) and hard to get under the martial law in Poland in the early 80s.
Our crafty teacher asked us to make soap sculptures and then collected the artefacts to grade the effort. I don't need to add, that she's never returned our soap figurines.

To get some nice stuff, you'd have to pay in dorrah.
Our stuff was as vile, as the things you can buy right now in bodegas in Cuba.
Like this toothpaste which was by the way the best stuff to polish cranks and stems
