Lavender Bath Bags


This is a simple project that kids (old and young) love to do! The bath bags can be used in the shower or tub and they make great gifts .
You will need the following ingredients:

lavender buds
oatmeal
muslin bags

Start by coarsely grinding about 2 cups of oatmeal in a blender or food processor. Don't make it too fine. (See picture)
Add about 1/4 cup of the oatmeal to each muslin bag. Then put in 2-3 tablespoons of lavender buds for fragrance and relaxation.
Tie a secure knot close to the bag then tie the ends of the strings together so your bath bag can be hung from a faucet as the tub is filling.
You can also use these in the shower as you would a washcloth.
To give as a gift, package in a ziplock bag and label with the instructions for using.
To order the materials for this project visit my shop at lavendermim.com. You'll find muslin bags ,lavender and kits including the ziplock bags in the RAW MATERIALS AND OILS section.
