Homemade Bath Salts

Ingredients

• 2 cups Epsom Salts
• 1 cup Baking Soda
• 2-3 drops Essential Oils

Instructions

1. Add the Epsom salts and baking soda to a bowl.
2. Stir to combine.
3. Add essential oils.
4. Let the bath salts dry overnight before adding to your jars.

Recipe Notes

If you want more than one scent, separate the salts into more than one bowl before adding the oils.

For my particular bath salts, I made one jar lavender scent and the other peppermint.  The decorative jars I picked up at a local dollar store.  As for the tags, I made them using a couple of paper punches my mom and I have in our craft supplies.
