Here's a "recipe" for bath salts in a jar (this would be make a really good gift with the brown sugar scrub!)
Candy Cane Bath Salts In A Jar
Materials and Supplies for Candy Cane Bath Salts:
12 tall jelly (12-ounce) canning jars with lid and rings
2 4-pound cartons Epsom Salts (approximately 16 cups)
4 pounds sea salt or Kosher salt (approximately 6 cups)
1/2 teaspoon glycerin, divided
12 to 15 drops peppermint essential oil
12 to 15 drops red food color
2 pieces cardstock (for tags)
Peaches and Cream Bath Salts
Materials and Supplies for Peaches and Cream Bath Salts:
12 tall jelly (12-ounce) canning jars with lid and rings
2 4-pound cartons Epsom Salts (approximately 16 cups)
4 pounds sea salt or Kosher salt (approximately 6 cups)
1/2 teaspoon glycerin, divided
12 to 15 drops peach essential oil
12 to 15 drops orange food color
2 pieces cardstock (for tags)
DIRECTIONS FOR CANDY CANE AND PEACHES AND CREAM BATH SALTS:
Wash, rinse and dry canning jars.
Empty one carton Epsom Salts into large mixing bowl or batter bowl. Add 3 cups sea salt,
stir well. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon glycerin and 6 to 8 drops essential oil. Mix well.
In second large mixing bowl, empty one carton Epsom Salts, and add 3 cups sea salt. Stir
well. Add 1/4 teaspoon glycerin, 6 to 8 drops essential oil, and food color. Stir until
completely blended. Color should be even.
tip: use a heavy-duty stand mixer to mix bath salts easily. Set mixer to lowest setting and
mix until color is even--but don't try this with hand mixers or smaller stand mixers!
Holding canning jars at an angle, layer salts in jars, alternating white and colored mixtures.
