retro mama Make Homemade Bath Salts and Salt Scrubs Entered in Mountain Rose Herbs Recipe Contest! 5/9/10 Homemade bath salts are a great way to pamper yourself while detoxifying your body. Bath salts (dry) and salt scrubs (with added emollient) will open your pores, increase circulation, stimulate lymphatic function, and draw out toxins. Salt blends also soften your skin, relax tense muscles, and alleviate stress. Ready-made bath salts and salt scrubs often contain unnatural ingredients. These chemical ingredients are known toxins that negatively affect your immune, reproductive, endocrine, respiratory and neurological systems. When you make your own you’ll save a lot of money and avoid the chemicals. Quality Ingredients and Simple Instructions Follow our simple recipe guidelines below to create your own bath salt blend. Once you’ve mixed your bath salt, use 1 to 2 cups per bath. Homemade bath salts and scrubs can be stored in glass jars. Ingredients Salt – 4 cups Extras – add amount desired Mix all ingredients in a large bowl. Tips

Amy Sedaris takes on DIY gifts with 'Simple Times: Crafts for Poor People' "Simple Times: Crafts for Poor People" by Amy Sedaris. Amy Sedaris has a crafting problem. She makes potholders on airplanes. She makes milkmaid and angel costumes, and popsicle-stick trivets. "Don't make anybody a homemade gift," she urges. But if you can't resist the urge, pick up her new book, "Simple Times: Crafts for Poor People," in stores today. As she prepped for her book tour, which includes an appearance at Barnes & Noble Union Square (Thursday, 7 p.m.), she chatted about her crafty habits. In the book there's a picture of you smiling for the camera with a huge burn on your face. When I was younger I did. She's crafty: Amy Sedaris is a do-it-yourself diva. I like the good old glue bottles. What's the worst homemade gift you've been given? They're all bad. Anything you would actually give as a present? I make those potholders.
Fabric Labels Tutorial Many people have asked me how I make my labels so I have decided to make this little tutorial including pictures and any little tips that I have learned along the way. You will find that making your own labels is quite simple and much cheaper than purchasing custom labels. Pour yourself a cup of tea and enjoy. Materials needed:computer, graphics program (I used photoshop) & inkjet printerregular printer paperiron-on transfer paperutility knife, cutting mat & metal rulerribbon (I used 1/2 inch natural cotton twill tape)iron & ironing boardscissors Step 1: Design your image using your program of choice working with a resolution of 300ppi for a clear image. The height of your image should be smaller than the width of your ribbon. Step 2: Print your labels. Step 3: Cut out the images preferably into long strips using your utility knife, cutting mat and ruler. Step 4: Iron the transfer onto the ribbon. Step 5: Peel off the backing paper. Step 6: Use them!
