How to Make Candy Cane Bath Salts

Candy cane bath salts are ideal for the holiday season, useful for that moment where shopping, cooking and caroling just all becomes too much and you want to soak your exhaustion away. They also make a neat gift idea.


Steps



  1. Assemble the items needed to complete the project. These are listed below under "Things You'll Need".





  2. Add the Epsom salts into the bowls. Pour 1/2 cup (4 oz) of Epsom salts into each bowl.





    • If you're concerned about mess, use resealable plastic bags instead of bowls.



  3. Add 2 drops of the peppermint oil and 2 drops of the glycerin to each bowl. Stir thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of the ingredients.





  4. Pour in 2 drops of red food coloring into one of the bowls. Stir through to achieve a uniform color.





  5. Start creating the "candy cane" effect in the jar. Using a funnel, pour in alternate layers of red and white bath salts into the glass jar. Doing this will create the visual appearance of candy cane stripes.





    • As you're pouring, it helps to tap the jar, as this settles the salts being added.

    • For a different look, tilt the jar a little while adding the salts. This gives an effect of diagonal candy stripes.



  6. Fill the jar right to the top.





  7. Finish the look of the jar. Tie a red or red and white striped ribbon around the jar of bath salts.





  8. Tie a candy cane onto the jar instead of a bow. It's now ready to enjoy during your home spa-evening-away-from-holiday-stress.





  9. Add an instruction tag to the jar. This should include instructions on using the bath salts, saying something similar to this:





    • "Add 2 to 3 tablespoons of these candy cane bath salts to running bathwater as you fill the bath. Hop in and expect a stimulating, peppermint flavored candy cane bath experience to brighten your holiday season."
