DIY Lotion Or Soap In A Handmade Mason Jar

December 8, 2011 by Nellie Lee Luhrmann 5 Comments

Check out this, how cool, I love it ! Why not make this yourself for a crafty gift idea. Lets face it Kris Kringle can sometimes be a gamble can’t it. I love the idea of making gifts rather than just buying some rubbish no one really wants/likes anyway. So what if it’s just a hand lotion or soap, I think that the thought and effort that goes into packaging like this is worth it.

 

HERE IS WHAT YOU DO 

1. You can purchase a large quantity of mason jars here. You can also purchase them individually at Walmart or Target!

2. Spray paint the lid a color of your choice. ( I like the silver )

3. Drill a hole at the top for a pump.

4. Stick in pump, fill it, cap it and voila!!

    Great. It really feels nice when you make the gifts by yourself and gift them to somebody who are close to you and get the good feedback from them.

    This may be a really stupid question…..what holds the pump in the top of the jar as there aren’t any threads for it? Do you glue it?

    I love the look of this! Thanks!

Book Review: The Green Witch: Your Complete Guide to the Natural Magic of Herbs, Flowers, Essential Oils, and More

If you’ve ever felt a pull toward the forest, found calm in a cup of chamomile tea, or found yourself talking to your houseplants (guilty!), then The Green Witch might just be your next spiritual companion. This beautifully written book by Arin Murphy-Hiscock is more than just a guide—it’s an invitation to slow down, listen to nature, and discover the quiet, grounded path of green witchcraft.

An Earthy Embrace for Beginners and Seasoned Witches Alike
Unlike some books that lean heavily into spellwork or ceremony, The Green Witch takes a more intuitive and nurturing approach. It celebrates the everyday magic in gardening, cooking, aromatherapy, and even just observing the natural cycles around you. It’s less about memorizing rituals and more about developing a personal relationship with nature.

This makes it a particularly great fit for women who are ready to explore spiritual growth without needing an altar full of tools or a deep dive into Wiccan tradition. It’s also a gentle way in for those of us in midlife who are reconnecting with our intuition, looking to slow down, or simply feeling called to something more rooted.

What You’ll Find Inside

  • Herbal profiles and magical uses for common plants (nothing too obscure!)

  • Seasonal rituals and daily practices

  • Ideas for working with essential oils, crystals, and the elements

  • A strong emphasis on personal empowerment and quiet observation

There’s also a beautiful message woven throughout the book: you are enough, your intuition is valid, and your connection with nature is sacred—no fancy robes or Latin chants required.

Murphy-Hiscock writes with clarity and compassion. There’s no gatekeeping or judgment here, just encouragement to walk your own path and trust your instincts. It’s like having a wise forest-dwelling aunt whispering in your ear, “You already know how to do this. Just listen.”

This book won’t turn you into a cauldron-stirring spellcaster overnight—but that’s exactly why I loved it. It’s practical, peaceful, and deeply feminine in its wisdom. Perfect for your bedside table, your garden tote, or wrapped in a soft cloth and tucked into your daily basket of herbs.

Highly recommended for:

  • Women craving spiritual connection through nature

  • Beginner witches or solitary practitioners

  • Crafty souls who already make their own teas, salves, or garden beds

  • Anyone looking for a little more magic in the everyday

The Green Witch is a soft, steady light on the path. And for many of us, that’s exactly the kind of magic we need.
