Don't show up without one...

Without a awesome gift that is!
I mean we all like to receive pretty little tokens of appreciation so therefore we also can't show up without one...
But I know times are tough for everyone and no one has any extra cash to spare these days, therefore in order to stay within that tight budget why not make a pretty gift ourselves....
Well and if you ask me - I think there is really nothing more amazing then a handcrafted gift and believe me it will bring so much more joy then a store bought one...
So how about a bottle of some real yummy good smelling...


Bath Oil  

You will need:  

Pretty glass bottles with cork top
Beads - in any colors your heart desires
Wire
Decorative Paper (scrap book paper)  
Hole Punch
**You can find all these things at "Michael's"

Bath Oil: (easy recipe)

2 cups of Olive oil 
3 tea spoon's of shampoo (the more liquid'y kind)
a few drops of your favorite perfume' or any good smelling perfume'


Here is how you do it:

  • Take your beats and string them onto decorative wire 
  • Take your pretty scrap book paper and either print or hand write i.e. "Relax - take a bath"!
  • Cut the label out. If you like your label to have a neat edge you can use one of those zick-zack scissors
  • Punch a hole in one side 
  • Take your pretty beated string and wrap it around the bottle and place the label on one end. Secure everything by twisting the wire.

Bath oil: 

  • Mix everything together real well and fill the individual bottles
  • Take the kork and close all bottles tightly....

               ..... as always - 

"Voila, all done"
