Cinnamon Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 I have a half dozen gorgeous glass bottles which held bath salts, & I was going to use them for bottling food,but I cannot get the 'smellies' smell off of them. So, I wondered about filling them with smelles I had made myself instead, & adding them to my Hampers for Christmas? Anyone ever done this or got any tips about how I can go about doing it?

Falkor Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 They have started talking about scrubs and stuff in the "Christian is so Crafty" thread. I made homemade Salt soak using sea salt, essential oil and lavender flowers all from Ebay - was LOVELY! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted September 13, 2009 Author Share Posted September 13, 2009 Oh right, I will pop over & have a look. Thanks Did you follow a recipe for your salt bath stuff, as that sound just the sort of thing I would like to try. Did the kit you bought on eBay come as a set? Sorry - so many questions!

missuscluck Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Forgot to add that when we made the bath bombs we added the tiniest spot of pink food colouring and rubbed it in to make a delicate pink colour and pressed a dried rose bud into the top of the bomb. My daughter used one and didnt come out of the bath with pink skin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
