4th Day of Christmas in a Jar - Peppermint Candy Cane Bath Salts

For the 4th day of Christmas in a jar, we have Peppermint Candy Cane Bath Salts. These bath salts smell amazing when added to your bath. Don't forget to treat yourself to the leftovers!

You will need:

• Quart size jars (Ball Smooth sided craft jar or any jar you choose) {{Amazon link}
• 1 4lb bag Epsom Salt
• 1 lb Sea Salt
• 1/2 cup Baking Soda
• Red Food Coloring
• Peppermint Essential Oil (contact me for purchasing)
• Measuring cup
• Canning Funnel

Instructions

For this project, I used all different jars. You can use any size or shape you wish.

Step 1

In a large bowl, mix Epson salt, sea salt, baking soda and peppermint essential oil. I found it easiest to mix using my hands since the essential oil will make little clumps that will need to be broken up. I used about 70 drops of peppermint essential oil, but you can vary that to your liking.

Step 2

Separate into 2 bowls. In one bowl, mix in red food coloring. Mix a little at a time until you get the shade of pink/red that you'd like. I used about 50 drops of red. Keep in mind, when added to the bath, it will turn the water red a bit. Less drops equal less red water.

Step 3

Using your canning funnel, pour in 1/2 cup of either red or white bath salts. Then keep filling your jar alternating colors until the jar is full. After each layer, you can gently use a spoon to smooth out your layers. You can even tilt the jar while filling them to make the stripes diagonal.

Step 4

Decorate your jars. Feel free to use the free printables below or order your custom personalized stickers from Davet Designs.
