How to Make Bath Salts in a Decorative Jar
Spray paint the lid of the jar. It will probably
require two coats. While the lid is drying, fill your jar with Epson salts and
then divide into as many bowls as you would like colors in your finished jar.
Use at least three colors. Add a few drops of food coloring, scent and glycerin
if you are using it to the salts and mix thoroughly with a spoon. Be patient,
the food color will disperse. Spoon salts into jar in layers, using the point of
a pencil to push one color into another as you would in sand art.
When the lid is dry, glue shells to the top. After the glue has set, screw the
lid onto the jar and wrap the ribbon around the band, tying a bow in the front.
This craft is very easy to do with a group or classroom. Use disposable bowls
and plastic spoons. Baby food jars can be used for a nice mini-gift that will
cost only pennies.
For group crafting, have lids painted prior to beginning. You might have each
child color one large bowl of salts and then trade around the table.
