I have seen this "recipe" on Pinterest for sugar scrub and have been wanting to try it. Mother's Day was the perfect occasion to make up a batch and gift it to my mom and mother-in-law. Of course I had to make them look extra pretty!
I bought some baby food that was on sale just for the jars. Don't worry, I made some ice cream treats for my dogs with the baby food. Any little jar will do, just make sure it is washed out well and dried.
Fill your jar 3/4 of the way with white granulated sugar. You might need more later, but that is a good starting point.
I love this Dawn dish soap. Not only does it smell amazing but it has Olay Hand Renewing moisturizers so it is good for your skin too. And it's pink!
Fill the jar the rest of the way up with the soap. Then stir away until it is nice and blended. You might need to add more sugar at this point if it is too runny.
It will probably separate but a little shake or mixing will do. You could even include a little spoon to mix it as well as getting it out of the jar. After I took off the labels, it was sticky so Goo Gone to the rescue!
I painted the lids in my favorite aqua color and added a little rose sticker to the top. I love it when things are this cute!
I created a label and used packing tape to adhere it to the jar. This way if water gets on it, it won't mess up the label. A little bit of vintage seam binding tied around the top and you have one adorable Mother's Day gift. I will probably add some lotion and lip balm and make a little spa package for the mom's!
And I just had to share this adorable card I made for a wedding shower gift. I drew the vintage camper in Illustrator, printed it out on cardstock and taped it to a card. I then punched out little hearts in different colors and glued them onto the card. I hand wrote "gettin' hitched" and signed the inside. I love this sweet card and can't wait to make more things using it.
