Luxury Homemade Bath Blend

Each of the homemade bath blend recipes bellow will fill between 8 to 10 bags, and although these homemade bath products can only be used once, they will last for about 4 months so it just makes sense to make up several at a time.

How To Make A Homemade Bath Bag

To make an herbal or flower bath bag, cut out a piece fabric (preferably muslin or thin cotton) to approximately 8 inch (20 cm) square, and then place the dried flowers or herbs in the centre.

Gather up all the edges of the fabric and secure with string or an elastic band. If you are giving them as a gift, tie a piece of ribbon around them (you can always remove it before using).

If you are going to gather your own flowers or herbs from the garden, pick them on a dry day after all the morning dew has gone, and then dry them in the sun, greenhouse or oven.

 

How To Use Your Homemade Bath Bag

To use the bath bags put one into the bath and run the hot water into the bath first. Cool the bath down to a nice comfortable temperature, then swish it around a bit and squeeze it a few times.

Leave the bag in while you have your bath and use it like you would soap by gently rubbing it over your body.
