Supplies
- Mason jar I used the Ball sharing jars because of their pencil like shape.
- Pink fabric
- Yellow ribbon
- Fiber fill
- Printed pineapple tags
- Scissors
- Hole punch
Instructions
- Start by adding your sugar scrub to your jar. I wanted the gift to look as much like a pencil as possible so I made an eraser top. Just use a small piece of pink fabric cut slightly larger than my mason jar lid with scissors.
- I then added a small amount of fiber fill under the fabric and put the lid on the jar as shown below.
- You will also need to print the pineapple tags, cut out using scissors, and punch a hole in the top. Then tie this around your jar using some yellow ribbon.
So, how many of these handmade beauty products will you be making? I know I have a list to try about a mile long!
I love all of these ideas! Thank you so much for sharing my lotion bars Angie! I missed seeing you at SNAP!
What a great list! So many to try! Thanks for including my Lavender Vanilla Sugar Scrub! Have a wonderful week!
Hello, Thank you for sharing these recipes. Could you advise how long they can stay fresh for or how long they will last in the fridge etc please?
I would use most of them within 2 weeks.
Is there any way to make them last longer
Sorry. Handmade beauty products are all natural with no preservatives. You can make them last a little longer by storing in the refrigerator.
