Looking for a thoughtful yet inexpensive gift? Try making these!
All you need are a few items, a few minutes and a voila- you've made a great gift!
What you'll need:- Epsom Salts
- Peppermint Essential Oil
- Red Food Coloring
- Kerr Wide Mouth Half Pint Jars
In small bowl, mix together 1 cup Epsom Salt and 4 drops Peppermint Essential Oil. Stir well
In separate small bowl, mix together 1 cup Epsom Salt, 4 drops Peppermint Essential Oil, and 6 to 8 drops Red Food Coloring, depending on how dark you want it. Stir well.
Carefully spoon the mixture into the jar starting with the red layer. Tap it down before adding a layer of white. Tap that down and continue to layer until your jar is full.
These make wonderful gifts. I give them to my parent volunteers at Christmas time as a small thank you for all their hard work helping in the classroom.
Don't forget about yourself! I always put any leftover salt into a large Mason jar and I keep it next to my bath tub. I can't tell you how wonderful it is to treat myself to a relaxing, detoxifying soak after a long day teaching kindergarten.
You can use this recipe to make many different scents too, just change the Essential Oil and adjust the coloring if necessary.
