STAR SPANGLED BATH SALTS

so...with trying to keep the crafties patriotic...decided to do up some star spangled bath salts!...you know...because tub time needs to be festive too!...the smell?...apple pie of course!...because you can't get more american than that!...



grabbing items that i have on hand...i was able to whip up this in no time!...but even if you have to gather the goods...still won't take too much time away from the firework festivities...

you'll need some bath salts...i used dead sea salts...but epsom salts would work just as well!...a container for giving...soap colorants...would not use food colors...because you don't want the actual tub turning patriotic...fragrance oil...and a little something to make it all sparkle!...

i filled my container with the uncolored salts...just to get a measurement of how much i'll need...then dump out and divide into thirds...i found the easiest way to color and scent is just by placing the salts in ziploc baggies...in one...drop some red color in there...followed by fragrance oil...then shake shake shake...making sure the salts are all dyed...if you need a brighter color...just add some more drops!...repeat this with the blue...then fragrance the white...

now it's time to fill the container!...the trick for this...just snip the corner of the ziplock bag (like you do with frosting) and start layering!...top of with some stars or something just as sparkley!...the stuff i used was from christmas!...lol...

there ya go!...and you know what?...i'm pretty sure that uncle sam himself would even soak in these!...

SOCKO DE MAYO

so....with the 5th of may drawing near...thought i should do a little something that's inspired by the festivities!...maybe it's because of my love for jimmy buffett...or maybe because i was just thirsty...but margaritas came to mind!...

of course had to put a crafty spin on it!...so may i present...the frozen con-sock-tion!...yeah...that's right...there's fuzzy socks in there!...

 

can't get much easier than this one...just take a pair of those fuzzy socks....shove it in a margarita glass...and garnish with a lime...mine's from the cricut just because cards cart...

 

i know...i know...the salt's missing from the rim!...but don't worry...it's included in the salt shaker!...margarita scented bath salts...yummo!...and don't forget the lime soap slices!...

 

found the cutest fruit wedge ice trays at michael's!...did those up lime scented...cute, huh?...

 

ahhhh...a gift that would make jimmy proud!...so...if you're having a fiesta!...i suggest serving up these little cuties!...
