Fancy Bath Salts

Fancy Bath Salts

3 pounds Epsom salt
5 large mixing bowls
Food coloring
Perfume or cologne

Divide Epsom salt into the 5 mixing bowls. Put a few drops of food coloring into each bowl. Use red for pink; red and blue for orchid; tin the others blue, yellow and green. Work coloring in with your hands until evenly tinted. Then add a few drops of perfume or cologne for a delightful aroma. Alternate the colors in layers when filling pretty bottles.

To make a deluxe model, use crystal vases, and when finished layering bath salts, pour a layer of warm (not hot) paraffin on top of each. Add a fancy bow around the neck of the vase, and you have a lovely gift.
