I’ve had these vintage pill bottles around in my craft room for ages and decided to finally do something with them. Originally I thought to make a sugar scrub but it would be hard to get the sugar scrub out of the small opening so I changed the plan to bath salts.
You need:
Coarse Sea Salt – I found this on the seasoning aisle
Epsom Salt – I found this in the health and beauty aisle
Essential Oil – I used lavender
Food Coloring – you probably have some in your cupboard right now
Glass containers of your choice – I found mine at a garage sale
Embellishments to decorate
I measured out how much sea salt I had, because it was a smaller container and then added that much epsom salt.
Food coloring and you are just using this to give the mixture some color. The amount and color you use is your personal preference. I was going for a “pinkish” color so I added red. When I first added it, it kind of clumped up so I had to really mix it well to coat all the mixture.
Add some essential oil to the mixture. This step is optional but I chose lavender as it is soothing and calming. How much you add is up to you, based on how strong you want the scent. I then mixed it really well again to make sure it coated all the salt mixture.
I happened to have some bottles that I purchased at a garage sale but you could use any container that you like. The bottles I used had a small mouth and I really should have used a funnel to fill the containers but I made it work.
All that is left is to embellish. I had some stickers that I attached to the front of the bottle and then just added a ribbon to it. Very simple and easy and they make nice little gifts!
