Bath Craft

I am absolutely not a craft mom. Despite the fact that I love interior decor and I am style, fashion and art crazy, I am not the one to modge podge, etc. But I get the feeling that once you have a child you are dragged kicking and screaming into the craft lifestyle.

So, as I told you earlier this week, today is the day that they have the craft fair at Hazel's school. I needed to make something that did not require any modge podge, sewing, knitting, weaving or any of that other -ish. I am not the one. So I decided to just go with the flow and make what I know. I am the DIY expert in bath supplies. I troll the internet for DIY beauty products. So, for example, anything involving turmeric, honey or avocado and the skin: I am tthe one. So I was very much interested in making a DIY bath/beauty product. Thank God for youtube because they've made being handy and skillful easier for craft-dummies like me.

Every Sunday after Hazel's ice-skating class we come home and have a hot steaming bath with bath salts. I buy mine at the pharmacy usually.  I never thought of making my own but it is ridiculously simple and does not require any sewing (lol) or me burning down the house. Also, I love candles and since we moved to the Eastern Europ...ahhh..actually Nothern European ice-box called Lithuania, we are more susceptible to the sniffles and stuffy noses and burning throat. So it's good to be able to make my own mint-eucalyptus candles and bath salts which totally clears the sinuses.    

So for Hazels craft fair I made: 

Soy Wax Eucalyptus-Mint Candles in a Tea-Cup ( I bought the tea cups at a second hand shop);

Bath Bombs (which is epsom salt with corn starch, baking soda, essential oils and citric acid for a nice fizz molded into a ball shape and for some decadence, I added rose petals and lavendar pods/buds);

Eucalyptus-Mint Bath Salts (with epsom salt, dead sea salt, baking soda plus mint and ecalyptus essential oils)

Rose-Mint Sugar Scrub (with Sugar, Almond Oil, Rose Oil and Mint Oil).

You can find know-how and recipes on my previous post. The supermarket will have all the powders, sugars and salts. And the pharmacy or the herbal supply store will have all the essential oils and the soap colouring/pigment.

My kitchen smells like the inside of a Lush store.
