DIY Crystal Mouthwash Decanter

July 12, 2013 by Shellie Wilson 7 Comments

crystal-mouthwash-decanter-diy-bathroom-organization

I know what you’re thinking – Putting mouthwash and not whiskey into a crystal whiskey decanter is pure wrong. Trust me I already thought of adding wine to this and stashing it next to the bath – except I don’t have a bath tub. We do have a baby bath for the kids in the bottom of the shower. After many different attempts and positions, I have finally come to the conclusion it is NOT suitable for me to bath in a baby bath.

Keeping the bathroom clean and tidy is a nightmare especially if it is a shared bathroom. I saw this idea all over the internet and thought I would add it to my To Do list.

Ideally, for this DIY project I would suggest using a Vintage Decanter but vintage is not always affordable or available.

So fake it.

This decanter was on sale at the discount shop for $5.00 (Actually it wasn’t on sale and it was $7.99 but don’t tell my husband that).

It does the job perfectly.

Now I have a very beautiful reason to leave one more thing out on the countertop each morning.

    What a lovely idea! I absolutely adore crystal decanders–have several, even–but have actually never used them.

    There should be a caveat here about using actual lead crystal vs glass decanters. Lead crystal decanters can leach lead into liquids stored in them, so be sure to use the cheaper glass (the kind you find for $5 at a discount shop should be fine).

    Oh I do this with mouthwash too! So much nicer than having plastic bottles standing around.

    Your child-proof lid would also be gone.

    Ciarra, I guess if your kids get into everything then that is a valid point to consider. MY children detest mint so I have no chance of them even going near it.

    I know I can’t help but wanting to pop everything into crystal now LOL.

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.
