Simple and easy to make Bath Salts and Herby Baths. These also make great gifts, so with Christmas just around the corner, you could make these go a long way! Save jars and recycle them into attractive containers to put your Bath Salts in to… you can make your own pretty labels or even try your hand at glass painting the jars! Why not sew some pouches from muslin and hang them on the taps… the ideas are endless! Christmas doesn’t have to be a stressful expense, and the recession doesn’t mean missing out!

  • 10-inch circle of muslin fabric
  • 3 tbsp. Sea salts or Epsom salts
