Homemade Bath Salts

For the past two years, my friend Anna and I have gone to our local hippie shop to make free Christmas gifts. My favorite is the bath salts.

You will need:

1 cup epsom salts
1/2 sea salt (finely ground)
3 tablespoons milk powder (makes your skin smooth)
essential oils (I used clove and it pretty much smells like Christmas)
something to put it in


I put my bath salts in a small milk jug. I used mod-podge to attach some pretty tissue paper and to make the jar opaque. Add a little twine and it's very Anthro if I do say so myself.
