DIY Bath Salts Ornaments – these peppermint scented bath salts in Christmas light ornaments make a great handmade gift idea for under $5!

Hello friends! Today is the first day of Christmas break for the kids. They had a short day yesterday and now have 18 days off! I’m definitely going to look for ideas to keep them busy. We do have the next week filled with Christmas crafts, baking and other holiday traditions. I thought it would be fun to do a countdown to Christmas with a fun activity planed each day. Now if only I could hurry and finish up my holiday shopping I’d be completely ready for Christmas. I do, however, have a few handmade gifts made already. The bath salts ornament I’m sharing today will become gift toppers for my handmade gifts. I’m really happy with the way they turned out and they were incredibly easy to make!DIY Bath Salts Ornaments – these peppermint scented bath salts in Christmas light ornaments make a great handmade gift idea for under $5! For this recipe I used cosmetic grade mica powder. If you’re unfamiliar with using mica powders, you’ll find that they’re really easy to add into handmade soaps, bath salts, lip balms and other DIY beauty recipes. Once the bath salts are combined and evenly distributed into separate bowls you can add a small amount of mica powder to add color to your bath salts. Mica is very pigmented so a little goes a long way. I kind of eyeball it but I would say I used no more than 1/4 teaspoon for each color. I’ve added Amazon affiliate links to the products I used below.

How doggoned cute are these bath salt ornaments, thye are so clever. Printed it all out so will have new idea (to me) for next year. I keep notebook with ideas didn’t use, thinking of for next Christmas. Get notebook out in about middle of Fall to give me time to get supplies needed.
Am trying to get craft supplies and decorating items didn’t use put away,. Can not stand mess any more. Would be so embarrassed if even daughter and family popped in to see my messes.Our house is small so not alot of room for anything out of it’s place.
Don’t you love those light ornaments, so cute and useful. Will use that project for sure next year for gifts to friends and family. This gives me time to get all the supplies together in the Fall to make them.
Keep your kiddos entertained making lots of cute stuff, they should love that.
Enjoy rest of holiday season.

Are the Christmas bulbs you used made of glass? If so, where did you get them? I can only find plastic on Amazon for this bulb shape.
