Homemade Yule Gifts: Bath Salts


I always feel that the best gifts are the ones which are homemade because they have that personal touch, you know? Here is a quick and easy way to make homemade bath salts. After all, who doesn't love bath salts, right? This particular recipe is meant for Yule.

What you need:
Zippered plastic bags
Rock salt or Epson salts
Your choice of Yule oil (citrus fragrances are nice)
Food coloring, green
Bottles or jars with screw-on lids
A square of burlap & tie for each jar or bottle (if you feel like getting a little more decorative)

Fill zippered bag 3/4 full with rock salt. Add the essential oils one drop at a time ~ it's okay to blend several ~ until you have a fragrance that you like. Add a few drops of food color, then zip the bag and give it a good shake. If you prefer multi-colored bath salts, add two or three drops of another color, zip the bag and shake it again. Pour into jars or bottles, then cap and label.

    My girls and I love to make our own bath salts and milk. Thank you for this Yule recipe. I will be sure to use it. I love how you added the burlap to the jars. Very rustic and festive.

    Thanks again for the wonderful Yule ideas.

    Blessings and Hugs, V.
