Homemade Bath salts
2/11/2009 at 9:55 PM
I just thought i'd post a recipe for any of you crafters out there who want a neat gift idea. I just finished making some bath salts, and they've turned out great!
Here's the 'recipe':
1/2 Cup of Epsom salt
1/3 cup of sea salt
1/4 cup of baking soda
a couple of drops of scented oil (i used lavender, found it at shoppers drug mart of all places, lol, although micheals may have some too!) (Make sure to use a couple, i added four and you most certianly can smell the lavender, lol)
and if you want it to have color add a few drops of food coloring. (it won't stain the tub since it will be so diluted)
This amount makes a decent sized small bag (i used sandwhich baggies) which would do probably two baths. It looks fantastic though and would make a neat homemade gift!
