Easy DIY Bath Salts Recipe
Need an affordable wedding favor idea that your guests will enjoy? Or cute party favor ideas for a little kids 'spa day' themed bday party? Make a homemade bath salt recipe using simple, household kitchen items with this very easy to follow tutorial.
Yield: 12 wedding favors filled with bath salts
Equipment
- glass vials
- bowl for mixing
- spoon
Materials
- 1 cup of epsom salt
- 1 cup of coarse himalayan sea salt
- 1 tablespoon of baking soda
- essential oils any scent you like
Instructions
Mix everything.
- Start by mixing the himalayan sea salt, epsom salt, and baking soda in a bowl. I like to use a much bigger bowl than needed to avoid spills.
Add essential oils.
- Next, add several drops of your favorite essential oils, until you've reached the desired scent. Stir with spoon.
Add to containers.
- Pour mixture into glass vials until full. You may need to use a funnel for this, which can be as simple as one you make from paper.
Plug with cork.
- Add corks to each vial to plug them up. Mine came with cork stoppers.
Add gift tag.
- Then tie a small gift tag to each vial with string. I made these gift tags with scrap paper, using the same technique as my watercolor DIY gift tags.
Notes
For Weddings
Add guests names and table numbers to the gift tag for a fragrant guest favor that pulls double duty as an escort card. Or make a smaller number of vials and give them as gifts to your wedding party instead.
And if you want to skip the bath salts ideas all together, using these glass vials as containers for biodegradable confetti would be cool, that guests can throw as you walk down the aisle.
As 'Spa Day' Party Favors
Being as though this bath salt recipe is so easy to make, it would be fun to invite your guests to make their own bath salt as part of the party. If you provide the glass vials and the other ingredients, this would be a cute activity to add to your next spa day.
