Sugar Scrubs are going to become a new ritual in my bathing routine. After dealing with dry skin every winter and trying just about every product out there... it comes down to sugar scrubs and Aveeno lotion for this girl.
After I made this remedy for myself, I thought.... what a cute, inexpensive, fun gift to give to a friend this holiday season.
If you would like to try making some for your friends ...listen carefully and do as I say :)
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon vitamin E
A few drops of Peppermint Oil
Mix sugar and oil together, then add vitamin E and peppermint oil and stir until blended.
Place in a mason jar.
You may need to add a little more oil as you see fit.

As most of you know I love burlap and try to use it just about anywhere I can, so of course I had to incorporate it in this project somehow. Out came the ol' hot glue gun as I glued some burlap onto the lid of the jars and wrapped it up with a little greenery (snipped from my Christmas tree) and ribbon.
For the label...
I created this and then bought white shipping labels {Avery Template 5164} to print them on so they became stickers.
Very Simple.

This became such an easy project that I made quite a few of them. Don't be surprised if you get one from me for Christmas. (I hope my Secret Santa from work isn't reading this).
best of luck and happy holidays dear friends!
These labels are awesome! Did you use word to create them?
ReplyDeleteI love this idea!! I think I know what my Christmas gifts for coworkers will be this year :)
ReplyDeleteIs thete a way to prevent sugar and oil seperation or just stir before each use?
ReplyDeleteto answer your question: the sugar and oil dont really mix so you cant prevent that, i would say stir before each use
