Christmas Ornament Bath Salts

Clear Christmas ornaments aren't just for hanging on the tree! They make creative holders for bath salts to share with family, friends and coworkers.
Your materials for this project is as close as your kitchen and bathroom cabinets.
I mixed all the ingredients: 1 cup Epsom salt, 1 cup Sea Salt, 2 tablespoons Baking Soda (acts as a detox, and softens water), 2 Tablespoons Dried Milk Powder, 2 Tablespoons Coconut oil, (you could use sunflower oil, sweet almond oil, jojoba oil). I divided this into three different bowls. Each bowl was for a different scent. I used I teaspoon of Lavender essential oil in the first, 1 teaspoon Peppermint in the second, and 1 teaspoon vanilla in the next. Since this was for Christmas, I added a few drops of red food coloring to the peppermint, a few Lavender buds that I had to the lavender, and a few drops of green food coloring to the vanilla.
I first removed the top hanger off the ornament, and using a rubber funnel from my canning supplies, I filled the ornaments with bath salts. Each ornament used a little more than 1/4 cup to fill to the top.
Place your ornament in a gift bag, and you have a great gift for co-workers and friends. Place in the stocking for an inexpensive stocking stuffer. I sold 15 of these at my last craft show. Cost? Around 1.25 each. The ornaments were half price at Michael's costing about 50 cents each.
