So, I was at Michael's last week, and happened upon a huge jar of mineral/sea salt, it was cheap so I had to buy it. I knew it would come in handy at some point. It did. I decided to make a homemade bath soak. Super easy. Super Yummy! Perfect for handmade gift giving!
What you need:
- jar (I used the Ball jelly/jam jars measuring 250ml)
- mineral and sea salt
- essential oil (or in my case extract)
- food coloring
- small piece of fabric
How to make it:
- Pour enough salt to fill a jar, or two. (Honestly, I didn’t measure) and add a few drops of essential oil to fabric.
If you’d like your salt to have color, just add a few drops of food coloring to the fabric before stirring. - Stir the fabric into the salt for a few minutes, making sure to get the salt well coated.
That’s it! Just make sure that the fabric is in dripping wet, you don’t want it to dissolve your salt.
You can use any scent you prefer. I used peppermint, with it being the holiday season, peppermint just seems fitting. Remember though, peppermint is an energizing scent. Have fun with it, add a drop or two of a few different scents to make your own custom scent. Add some burlap, twine and lace. A tag would be nice, but I think most of us now know how to use bath salts, so it’s not a MUST but would add a nice décor element.

Adorable idea. And let me just say that the burlap and lace combo is to die for, the perfect combo of masculine and feminine fabrics... Soooooo beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteI've been planning to do something like this for ages...needless to say my jars have been sitting on the shelf for about 4 months!!! Maybe you will be my incentive to get my butt in gear!
ReplyDeleteSuper easy! Thanks for sharing this one.
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome thank you! Im heading to the store now!
ReplyDeleteWow. I had no idea that it was so easy to make! What a great gift idea!

These are so cute! And the burlap makes it twice as cute!
ReplyDeleteSince you added food coloring, I was wondering if the color would bleed into the water? Or is it such a small amount you wouldn't really notice?
ReplyDeleteCould you tell me where you got your Ball Jars in that size? They are adorable!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing your ideas. That was so beautiful.

Stupid question - did you leave the fabric in the salt or take it out before you put the salts in a jar?
ReplyDeleteThe colors look really nice and the jars are cute. This is the complete opposite of mansalt, a bath salt I bought for my uncle last week which has a more rugged packaging.
