Handmade Bath Gifts

To show off bath salts in a pretty glass container, cut a square of cellophane. Lay it flat and sprinkle cut strips of crinkle paper in the middle. Set the bottle on the paper and cellophane and gather the sides. Tie with colored ribbon around the bottle's neck.

It doesn't go on your skin. You sprinkle a little in the tub for a relaxing soak bath.

Other bath salts recipes recommended coloring for liquid soap which you can find at a craft store by soap making supplies. They had cautioned that food coloring could stain tub.

Made this for a birthday gift and it turned out great - layered into jar with two colors. So happy I found this - I will be using this for the kindergarten classroom helpers and reading buddies. Thank you!! PS - used only a couple drops of food coloring and mixed well. I doubt it will stain your skin - should just give the water a hint of color if anything.

I made my girls their own signature scent sets...candles, soap and spray. I know what their favorite flowers and scents are and I created a special scent for each...along with a special signature picture of them! I'm having fun with it...especially the soap making.
