First make a tote bag. You can look at my tut for make a t-shirt in to a cute tote. I used an old pillowcase for this one. The cross-stitch came from the book "Subversive Cross Stitch" I'm sure you can buy it off their site too.
I made her bath soap by adding tangerine tea to melt and pour soap. ( She likes citris smells and I think the tea adds a nice homey touch.)
I made the bath salt by adding the tea to a cup full of epsolm salt and a teaspoon of olive oil. I also re-used babyfood jars for the containers.
This is once again the melt and pour soap but I added cocoa butter from the little tubes you can buy at a Pharmacy. I also added come chocolate milk powder to make it smell a little sweeter and give it some color.
For the face soap I added some citris essential oil. (Which I also added to the tangerine tea ones.) I also added sugar which helps it lather up more, and some poppy seeds to scrub away the dead skin.
This was just your regular lotion with no dyes or fragrance and I added a few drops of the citris essential oil.
Put all your goodies in the bag. I added some shredded paper on top. Yellow and orange her fave colors. And tied with a ribbon which says who its from.
I think if any "normal" run of the mill mom saw this, she's probably be offended.... however... I saw this, jaw dropped and I started laughing, my son stared at me like I was nuts. lol. I love it!
Sorry...
