Homemade Bath Salts and Decorative Glass Jars





Designed by Jane Lake





These four fragrant bath salts recipes are easy to make and inexpensive, yet they look like a purchased gift from an exclusive spa with our free printable jar labels.





These bath salts recipes are ideal to give as homemade gifts in a jar, combining the soothing mineral essence of bath salts with aromatherapy for a tranquil at-home bathing experience.





Don't forget to pamper yourself with the aromatherapy fragrance that suits you best!





Just follow our directions to decorate four recycled glass jars with free printable labels for the front and back of each jar, like the gift in a jar bottles shown: (left to right) Mandarin Orange Bath Salts, Lavender Bath Salts, Bath Salts from the Sea and Patchouli Bath Salts.





What You Will Need:





For the Bath Salts Recipes -





epsom salts or sea salt, or both, and baking soda


food coloring


1 or 2 teaspoons of glycerin per jar - optional, but glycerin is an effective skin moisturizer and a nice addition


essential oils - mandarin orange, lavender, sandlewood, and patchouli


For the Decorative Glass Jars -


four glass jars


printable jar labels


scissors and glue


assorted embellishments, including several yards of orange or peach colored ribbon, small amount of lavender or mauve ribbon, ecru or white doily, raffia, tacky glue and household twine








General Instructions:


1. Collect your jars, remove labels, then wash and dry thoroughly.





2. For most bath salts recipes you can use your choice of epsom salts or sea salt, with baking soda, if desired, or a combination of all three. One good mix is one cup of epsom salts, with 1/4 cup of sea salt, and two or three tablespoons of baking soda. A little more or less of each ingredient is fine for most bath salts. Epsom salts and sea salt are soothing for tired muscles, while both will gently soften the water for a luxurious bath experience. You could also add a tablespoon or two of finely ground regular oatmeal (not quick cooking) for silky, skin-softening water.





3. Fill each jar to the top with the combination of bath salts that you plan to use. Empty the salts into a mixing jar and add a drop or two of glycerin, if using. Add your choice of essential oil - how many drops you use is a personal preference, but start with two or three drops and see if you like the fragrance. The same goes for the liquid food coloring; sometimes I use quite a few drops of food color to get the strong hue that I like, but so far it hasn't stained the bath tub or anyone's skin. Remember that the color and fragrance will be much diluted in the bath water. Stir the salts vigorously until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.





For specific aromatherapy bath salts recipes, and how to decorate each jar, please see the individual instructions that follow:








Mandarin Orange Bath Salts: I used a small canning jar for this project, with a screw top one piece lid. I also used only epsom salts, adding about six drops of mandarin essential oil and about six drops of orange food color. The lid is decorated with 1/2'; orange ribbon, cut in strips to cover the top. Coat the lid with tacky glue and lay the first strip going across the middle of the lid and extending over the rim just a little on both sides. Add ribbon strips on either side, each one overlapping just a little, until the top of the lid is covered. Take another strip and glue it around the lid rim, covering the edges of the top ribbons. Overlap the ends of the lid rim strip and glue down firmly. Cover these ends by making a small bow, then gluing it in place.





Screw the ribbon lid in place securely. Print out our free Mandarin Orange Bath Salts Labels and glue the front label centered beneath the ribbon bow, with the other label being glued to the back of the jar.








Lavender Bath Salts:I used 1 cup of epsom salts, half a cup of sea salt, and a few tablespoons of baking soda for this recipe, adding 8 drops of lavender. (This one was for me, and I adore lavender - it made the bathroom smell heavenly!) Adjust the fragrance, just adding one or two drops at a time until you're happy with it. Lavender is a difficult color to achieve with food coloring, I found, but I managed to get a lavender color that I liked by using far more red than blue.





To decorate the jar, thread lavender ribbon through the openings in an ecru doily, tie in place and make a bow. If this isn't possible, use a rubber band to secure the doily in place, then tie the ribbon over it. Print and cut out our free Lavender Bath Salts Labels then glue in place to finish the jar.








Bath Salts from the Sea: Use only sea salt - either fine or coarse, or a combination of both, for this recipe. Add an essential oil that reminds you of the sea - I used sandlewood. A drop of eucalyptus might enhance this mixture. Jasmine would also work well. Add drops of blue food coloring, if desired, either to all the mixture, or just half, so you
Mix epsom salts with a little glycerin, add color and scent and voila!
