Encourage mom to take time to relax with these bath salts. They make a perfect Mother’s Day gift, and they are easy to make. We’ll even make a presentation container for them.

Recipe for the bath salts:

¼ cup Epsom salt
1 Tbs. baking soda
3 drops essential oil (optional)
2-3 drops food coloring
1 tsp. coconut oil
1 tsp. coarse salt (optional

Combine all ingredients in a medium sized bowl or container. Stir well to thoroughly mix the ingredients. Set aside for now.

Gather these supplies for the container:

Cardstock
Liquid glue
Clean, used food container—I used pudding/yogurt containers, but any clear container will work; look for single serve containers. (Hint: if there is any writing on the container, it generally comes off with
nail polish remover.)
Blank Labels and Tags template or Preprinted Labels and Tags template

Let’s make the container for your bath salts:

Trace the top of the container onto the cardstock.
Cut out the tracing for a lid.
Print a labels and tags template. There are preprinted tags and blanks, so you can create your own label and tag. Add a bath salts label to the cardstock lid.
Complete your gift tag.
Fill the container with bath salts.
Add a bead of glue to the top of the container.
Glue the top on the container. Do not shake the container or turn it over!! Set aside to dry.
Add gift tag to container and present to Mom on her special day.
