Recipe: Home Made Bath Salt

1. Fill glass, ceramic or metal 2 quart container with Epsom Salts.
2. Add 2 tsp essential oil and 2-6 drops food coloring to match the scent you've chosen.
3. Stir ingredients until completely incorporated.
4. Seal Container and let sit overnight, stirring occasionally.
5. Place in decorative, sealed containers.
6. Tie with ribbon or raffia.
7. Add a scoop to the ribbon.

Directions:

Note: For a fun twist, create an "Ice Cream Soda" by packaging salts in a cellophane bag. Place salt bag into the bottom half of a parfait glass. Place a bath "poof" (those fluffy scrubber thingies) on the top half of parfait glass (tuck the string underneath) - This is the "Whipped Cream". To complete the look, place a bendable (I use colored) straw down the side of the parfait glass. Voile, a fun homemade bath gift! This is a fun gift for kids to make and give.
If you watch the thrift stores, or go to garage sales, you typically can find sundae and parfait glasses for a dime or a quarter each. Even check on FREECYCLE.
You can also add baking soda (about a heaping teaspoon) for a FROTHY mixture.
