yep! You'll likely get 2-3 jars out of that too depending on the size of jar.

how much oil will i need?

 

[tiggertea]

Only a few drops. I think I did about 5 drops in 500g of salt.

I'm looking on eBay at salt now what oil did u use? I don't know what would be nice in a bath?! x

 

[abbie1992]

how much would 10ml do? x also where do i get the jars from sorry if im being a buren xx

 

[Broody85]

Iv got jars from ASDA, IKEA also do them really cheap x

 

[tiggertea]

I used peppermint essential oil (but that's not suitable in pregnancy or in large quantities in case of irritation in general). I chose that because I know the person it's for loves peppermint bath products.
It all depends on what the person you plan to give it to likes I suppose. Most popular would probably be things like citrus (orange essential oil is lush!), vanilla or coconut. Geranium is nice too for a floral scent.

10mls would be more than enough. Will do lots of batches for you!
And don't worry, you're not being a burden at all!

 

[tiggertea]

Any glass jar with a good lid is suitable, I used small kilner jars, which you get pretty cheaply in the supermarkets or some of the poundshops etc.

 

[abbie1992]

anyone know any cheap glass jars you can buy online? xx

 

[abbie1992]

hm were asda ones?

 

[Broody85]

ASDA do a pack of 3 for £3.75. I'll take a pic of one of mine to show u x

Here they are, next to a deodorant tin to try and show the size

 

[abbie1992]

what if i use onld baby food jars? thats gotta be cheaper right? (for a small jar of bath salts?) ov do like some cellophane with a elastic band?

 

[Broody85]

Yeah that would work nicely, good idea!!! What fragrance are u going for? I think I might get mandarin

 

[abbie1992]

[abbie1992]

Heart shaped tins are 'spensive I was looking for some and gave up coz they were all about £15.

You can get silicone cupcake cases in poundland in the shape of hearts though.

Loving this thread! Think I'm going to make some bath salts and some chocolate truffles! Has anyone got a good fudge recipe? And some simple instructions, getting really festive now!

 

[tiggertea]
