DIY- Scented Bath Salt Wedding Favors

We all know that in this economic times, a sensible bride will be looking for ways to cut wedding costs while planning her dream wedding. One of the ways to cut cost is to make your own “stuff”. One of the easiest “stuff” to make is your do-it-yourself scented bath salt wedding favors. All you need, aside from the ingredients, are air-tight plastic or glass jars and ribbons to complete your wedding favors.

Here are the ingredients:

2 1/2 cups sea salt (do not use table salt; this will dry your skin)
1 cup baking soda (Arm & Hammer baking soda will do well)
1/2 cup citric acid
1 tbs fragrance oil (cosmetic grade; do not use fragrance oils used for candles)
Colorant: Use mica colors of your choice. In the video, Mary used two colors. The first one is a combination of 1/4 tsp each of FDA F&C mica yellow and matte red. 1/2 tsp of FDA F&C mica yellow is used for the second color.

You can use your own wedding theme colors for the colorant. With a little elbow grease and creativity, you’ll have  your personalized scented bath salt wedding favors in no time.
