Lavender Scented Bath Salts

(Recipe taken from The Art Of Handmade Living by Willow Crossley)

This recipe will make two medium sized Kilner jars full. They make a really lovely gift and I often make a batch for myself, the lavender aroma and salts are very soothing on sensitive skin.

Ingredients

Two cups of Epsom Salts

One Cup of coarse sea salt

1/2 cup of baking soda

50 drops of lavender essential oil

several sprigs of dried lavender ( you can dry you own really easily)

– Mix the Epsom salts and sea salt together with the baking soda

– Add the lavender oil stirring as you add.

– Add the dried lavender

– Put in a pretty jar and label with a gift tag

– Add a ribbon and wooden scoop ( or an antique silver spoon also looks beautiful)
