DIY Beach Inspired Bath Fizzies – great school holiday project

September 23, 2011 by Nellie Lee Luhrmann 1 Comment

I don’t know about you but now that the school holidays are here I am trying to find activities to do that  easily engage my 2 young fellas and does not cost the earth. Thanks to Desiree from Beyond A Garden for sharing these sea shell bath fizzies.

 

 
To make the bath fizzes use the following recipe: 
2 cups baking soda
1 cup citric acid
1 tablespoon of ground kelp
50 drops of a essential oil blend
Desiree used – douglas fir, spikenard, grapefruit and spearmint
Witch hazel in a small spray bottle
 To mould these fizzies you will only need  some seashells you found on the beach and 2 little helper hands
For step by step instructions on what to do next, pop on over to Beyond A Garden and have a look. Get extra creative using glitter, micas and  clays as well as other essential oils/scented oils. We went with a coconut candle and soap making soluble fragrance  that I had in my cupboard. I will cherish these for as long as they last, the fun I had with my boys making these I will cherish forever. They smell pretty good too. The boys really enjoyed making these we had lots of fun and the cleanup afterwards was very minimal.

    Tried to make them at home. To be frank they are more expensive to make than to buy, do correct me if I’m wrong. But its a fabulous post and now I know where I was going wrong! I recently bought some bath body products and thats when I really discovered what Bath Fizzies can do! I hadn’t been using them otherwise! What other Bath Body products can we make at home?

DIY Christmas Cherry Body Scrub

If you love simple handmade gifts that still feel festive and special, this DIY Christmas Cherry Body Scrub from CraftBits is such a fun little project. It is bright, pretty, and has that sweet cherry scent that makes it feel perfect for Christmas gifting.

What I like about this tutorial is how easy it is to pull together. The scrub uses granulated sugar, sweet almond oil or another carrier oil, red cherry fragrance oil, and a touch of mica powder for color, so it feels like one of those projects you can make quickly but still package up beautifully.

It is the kind of bath and body recipe that works really well for teacher gifts, stocking stuffers, hostess gifts, or just a little festive treat for yourself. The pretty pink-red color and cherry fragrance give it a cheerful Christmas feel without needing anything too complicated.

The tutorial itself is wonderfully straightforward too. You simply combine the ingredients well and store the finished scrub in an airtight container, which makes this a lovely beginner-friendly project for holiday crafting.

If you are looking for a quick Christmas body scrub recipe that feels handmade, giftable, and easy to recreate, this one is a sweet little pick.
