I am always looking for great gift ideas. I always want to be more crafty and then end up just buying things. But now I feel like I will be able to make it happen! I saw these home made body scrubs on the HGTV.ca website. The scrubs are in honeybear jars. I love that you are making your own scrub and reusing a jar! How cute! I will give you the recipe, but keep in mind you might recieve one of these one day!!Materials:
- Essential oils
- Food colouring
- 1 ¾ cup (414 ml.) of white sugar
- ¾ cup (177 ml.) grape seed oil
- large plastic produce bag from the grocery store
- plastic honey bear container
- scissors, large mixing bowl, large plastic mixing spoon
Directions:
- Measure the sugar and grape seed oil; pour into large mixing bowl.
- Add 2-3 drops of your choice of essential oil and food colouring
- Stir until well blended.
- Take a large plastic produce bag from the grocery store and spoon in the sugar scrub mixture. (It’s much easier if you have a friend to hold the bag open or use a cylinder vase to support it!)
- With the scissors, cut a small hole in one corner of the plastic bag, enabling you to squeeze the mixture into the honey bear container. This part can be a bit messy, so keep the plastic bag and bear over the mixing bowl.
- Squeeze the mixture from the plastic bag into the honey bear until it’s about ¾ full. Tap the honey bear to settle the mixture. This should create more room for more mixture.
- Put the cap on the honey bear, tie a cute ribbon around the neck and you’re ready to give, give, give!
