Sugar & Lavender GARDENERS HAND SCRUB

Hello friend,

I love to give gifts from the garden.

Here's a very simple

 and inexpensive gift that just about anyone

would appreciate.


You only need 3 ingredients.

I found coconut oil at my DOLLAR TREE.


To make the scrub:

1/2 C. Coconut Oil- melted in microwave

1  1/2 C. White Sugar

10 Drops Lavender Essential Oil

1 tsp. Lavender Buds- Optional

Clean jars with lids

(This recipe will fill 3 of these Ball jars )


Mix together and fill jars.




To use the sugar scrub:

Start with clean hands,

Take about an 1/8 of a teaspoon

of the scrub and put into your palm.

Rub front and back of hands.

Then rinse with cool water and pat dry with a towel.

The sugar will wash away and the 

oil and fragrance will remain.

Your hands will feel so soft !



It works great on feet

Then add socks !

NOTE:

DO NOT USE IN THE SHOWER!

It will be slippery and dangerous.

   

For a special touch, make labels for your scrub.

These beautiful labels came from

The Graphics Fairy

Please visit The Graphics Fairy !

(I used a different recipe )

The labels are the perfect size for wide mouth Ball jars

I cut out my labels and gave the front a light coat of MOD PODGE.



This will protect the paper.

Make sure your ink has dried first!




I used MOD PODGE again to adhere the label to 

the lid inserts. Let dry.

If any coconut oil gets on the label the Mod Podge

will protect the paper.





I divided my recipe into thirds and filled the jars.

Top off with more buds if you like!





Set the insert on the jar and then the ring.




I filled 6 jars, we will see how they do at the Fall Craft Fair.

I plan to make another batch for gifts.


Have a blessed week!
