Bath Salt Bars

Step 2 Make with tha' mixin'

So this "recipe" is vague... You can adjust it as you see fit, as long as you get the mixture moist enough to bind together.

Dry work

Step 1: Measure out 2 Cups of Epson Salt.

Step 2: Add 2 heaping spoonfuls of Baking Soda

Step 3: Mix dry ingredients

Wet Work

Step 1: Measure out 4 to 5 teaspoons of Glycerin

Step 2: Add 4 to 5 teaspoons of water

Step 3: Add Essential Oil... The amount of oil you use is entirely up to you. Just don't make it too strong.

Step 4: Stir all liquid ingredients until well blended.

Go Time

Step 1: Pour liquid mixture onto dry mix

Step 2: Stir until well blended. The mix will be like wet sand or icy snow.

When you say "the amount of oil you use is up to you", you are assuming we know how much is a good amount to try. Could you recommend an amount or tell us the amount you use?

I guess it's like scenting anything, add a couple of drops of your favourite scent. Sniff, if it isn't strong enough ad a few more, repeat until you're happy with the smell. If you accidentally make it too strong you could always add some more of everything else and just make more bars.

Great instructable though, and much better than pots of salts that always seem to get knocked over right when someone forgets to put the lid back on properly.
