Makes
a grea gift for Mother's Day!
By Lori Garcia, editor-in-chief
SUPPLIES:
- One box of epson salt (Bath
aisle in a discount store)
- Box of liquid food coloring
- Glass bottle (This could
be a drink bottle)
- Curling ribbon
- Your favorite parfum
- A few bowls and spoons (A
bowl and spoonfor each color)
- Funnel or paper plate
 STEP
BY STEP:
1. Pour equal portions of epson
salt into bowls. Pour enough to fill the bottle(s) you've
chosen.
2. Pour a few drops of food
coloring into the cereal bowls. A lot goes a long way,
so just a couple drops will work. (see Figure A...
Incidently, my drops made a heart. How appropriate.)
3. Stir the food coloring thoroughly,
making sure to break up any clumps.
4. If you're making
a small jar, you can spoon in the epson salt easily.
5. If you're filling a large
bottle, you'll probably want to use a funnel or in my
case, bend a paper plate into a funnel.
6. Alternate colors or fill
a bottle with all one color. You decide.
7.
Once the bottles are full, put a drop of your favorite
parfum in each bottle. The salt will absorb the scent
and it will make your whole bath smell like your favorite
parfum.
