Homemade Bath Oil with Fragrant Potpourri

I'm a believer in using what you have around the house to make homemade gifts. This expensive looking gift is really a homemade spa gift that uses Fractionated Coconut Oil and potpourri, a scrap of raffia and a printable gift tag. Simple supplies and easy to do, but what could be nicer to make and give?

At the end of the project, we have gift tags for Valentine's Day and Easter, a floral gift tag for everyday gift giving, and 8 Christmas gift tags.

Homemade Potpourri Bath Oil Supplies:
  • Jar with a cork or twist cap to reseal. Be creative: Italian bottles that fit together for sets, heart shaped, salad dressing bottles etc..
  • Organic Fractionated Coconut Oil
  • Potpourri that includes rose leaves, rosebuds, or other fragrant, decorative flowers of your choice
  • Three miniature silk rose buds with wire stems (optional)
  • ribbons, raffia, or other decorations
  • Printed gift tag

    Optional:
  • Two eucalyptus clippings, slightly smaller than the length of your jar.
    Two or three pieces of dried orange or lemon peel.
  • Three or four whole cloves.
  • A few drops of any essential oil add as much as you like

    Homemade Bath Oil Instructions
    So easy to do, with ingredients you have at home!
    Clip two slips of dried eucalyptus to be slighter smaller than the height of your jar. If this is not available, you might substitute a sprig of baby's breath or other dried 'twiggy' material to lend height and form to your floating floral arrangement.
    Insert each slip of eucalyptus into the jar.

    Add rose leaves, rosebuds, or your choices of dried fragrant potpourri flowers (lavender, lilac, lily of the valley, calendula, lemon balm, mint leaves etc.} Fill the jar about half full with potpourri selection.

    Add a few drops of essential oil to you liking.

    * Blends that are great themselves are: Christmas Moments, Jubilee, Orange Cream (add Lavender for an awesome smell) Marigold (Tagetes) and Orange together smell like a delicious fruit punch, Fresh Citrus, Fortitude, Youthful, Heart of the Forest, Reassess, etc...

    Fill the jar almost to the cork line with FCO.

    Cork or use the screw top, capping the jar tightly. You may wish to dip the cork in wax to seal to prevent any leaks.

    Add decoration to the neck of the jar. I used a bow made from raffia and attached three miniature wire-stemmed rosebuds. Alternatives would be narrow ribbon or curling ribbon.

    Print the gift tag of your choice from those shown below. Highlight with your cursor, go to "File" at the left of your computer taskbar, and find "Print" on the drop-down menu. Pick "Print Selection" and click.
    Cut out and attach the gift tag with a scrap of raffia or use the wire stem of one of the rosebuds to poke through the tag and secure.

    Suggestions: This basic craft can be adapted for many occasions. Use a recycled olive oil jar, or any jar that you think has an interesting shape or color. Try adding tiny pinecones or small seashells to the potpourri for purely aesthetic effect. If using a cork stopper jar, be aware that placing the jar on its side could cause leakage, so keep it upright for storage.
