My mother and I both had this same idea this year for gifts.
What can I say? Great minds…
I love this idea because there is enough bath salt in the
ornaments for 2-4 baths, depending on how much your gift receiver uses, plus
when they have used all of the bath salt they have a cute ornament to enjoy
for years to come. You could even decorate the ornament a little bit with puff
paint, glass etching cream, ribbon… the possibilities are endless. Get creative
or keep it simple- you can’t lose.
What You’ll Need:
4-10 Glass ornaments
2 Cups Epsom Salts
½ Cup Powdered Milk
½ Cup Baking Soda
½ Cup Dead Sea Salts
1/3 Cup Almond Oil
1tsp Mica per color if desired (food coloring is also an
option)
10-20 Drops Veriditas Lavender angustifolia Essential Oil
10-15 Drops Veriditas Peppermint Essential Oil
Rubber Bands, Twine, or Hot Glue
Glass Bowl
Wooden Spoon
Funnel
How To Make:
• Pour epsom salts, powdered milk, baking soda and Dead Sea
salts into a glass bowl. Stir well.
• Add almond oil and Essential Oils and stir until
completely combined.
• If you don’t want to add color, skip the next step.
• If you want to try coloring your bath salts pour equal
amounts into different glass bowls and try add mica or food coloring. If you
are using food coloring add only 1 drop at a time and then stir well until
desired color is achieved.
• Pour your bath salts into your ornaments using your
funnel.
• To make sure the tops stay on your ornaments, you may want
to secure them using rubber bands, twine, or a dot of hot glue. The bath salts
make the ornaments heavy, which makes the top come off, so this is an important
step! Just be sure not to secure them so tightly that they can’t be reopened.
** Do not use plastic ornaments, bowls, or instruments.
Essential Oils break down plastic.
