Crafting from the Kitchen: Relaxing Bath Soak {DIY Salt Bath Soak Craft Tutorial}


I wish that I had gotten pictures of the process of making these beauties, but they're so simple, they really don't need a whole lot of tutorial to go along with them! They're wonderful to smell and soak in and I guarantee that anyone that you gift these to will become a lover of bath time!!  


First, gather your ingredients.  I've included an easy to obtain list of ingredients here:
Scented Oils: My personal favorites are Vanilla, Peppermint, Lavender, and Orange
Gift tags to label your jars
Mixing bowls


First, using your jar as a measuring device, scoop out the appropriate amount of salt.  (I made three jars at a time, so I would add three jarfuls of salt.  For the peppermint swirl, I put one and a half jars in each bowl and then only colored one bowl)
Second, sprinkle a few drops of oil and coloring over the top of the oils.  Adding less is better at this stage as you can always add scent but can't take it away.  Stir your mixture well to incorporate the color and scent.  If you feel like you need more color or smell, repeat this step as many times as necessary.
Third, sprinkle about a tablespoon of vitamin e oil over the mixture and then stir again to get it coated throughout.  
Lastly, scoop the salt mixture into your jars and seal.  Add a label or some ribbon or yarn for decoration.  


I hope you love these Bath soaks as much as I do!  Not only do they smell great, but they look pretty too!  Feel free to leave a comment below!
