Bath salts

I wonder if these would really turn out good...? I would especially love if I could find these sweet glass containers to put them in!

Scented Bath Salts

What You Need

2 cups Epsom salts

1 cup baking soda

Large bowl

Lavender-scented oil

2-x-4-inch scrap of white cotton fabric

Food coloring

Cookie sheet

Apothecary jar

Ribbon

Baby spoon

How to Make It

  1. In a large bowl mix 2 cups Epsom salts and 1 cup baking soda. Dab a few drops of lavender-scented oil onto a 2-x-4-inch scrap of white cotton fabric and stir through mixture. Repeat with drops of food coloring. Continue mixing scented oil and food coloring until desired scent and color is achieved. If desired, make two colors of salts to layer in a purchased apothecary jar (available in thrift shops).
  2. Spread salts mixture onto a cookie sheet for several hours, stirring several times. Wash and dry the jar. Spoon salts mixture into jar.
  3. Tie a baby spoon onto jar with ribbon.
  4. To use, dissolve several teaspoons of salts in bathwater.

Hey, when I taught 3rd grade we made these for my student's moms. Funny thing... I never actually tried them... just made them. :) They were a hit though! And super easy to make.
