Homemade Salt Blends

[KaterBell]

Does anyone have any good recipes for homemade salt blends? I was reading Parents magazine this month and they have 3 recipes for a greek-style blend, a moroccan blend, and southwestern blend... they sound good, and I will make them , but wanted to see if anyone else had any good ones to share.

I'm thinking about giving them away for Xmas gifts in cute little bottles with homemade tags. Along with my homemade sugar scrubs.

Thanks for any ideas!! I love this crafty community.

I don't have any but can you post your sugar scrub because they both sound like great ideas.

The salt blend is for cooking and the sugar scrub is for bathing, right??

Yes - salt rub for cooking and sugar scrub for bathing. Rubs and Scrubs!

Sugar scrubs are super simple - just a cup of sugar, 1/2 cup of olive oil, lemon juice/zest (optional) and essential oils for scent. I love peppermint oil, so that's a good one to add.
Just put them in a pretty glass jar, and you're ready to go. These work wonders on your hands. Great for the shower - except sometimes it makes the shower floor a little slippery, so make sure to put a cautionary note on the tag.

Thanks. I think my kids will make some of these for the women in my family and female teachers. Where do you get the pretty jars? Could I make pretty envelopes or is to too oily?

OMG, I thought you were talking about bath salts

I was wondering were the Greek and Moracan names fit it

I found some really cute jars/bottles at the Container Store, actually... I am comparing prices between there, AC Moore and Michaels. Whoever has the best coupons!!

OK, I'll go check out Mikes and Hobby Lobby.
