  1. Step 1

    Step 1

    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.

  2. Step 2

    Step 2

    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.)


  3. Step 3

    Step 3

    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.

  4. Step 4

    Step 4

    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.


  5. Step 5

    Step 5

    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.

  6. Step 6

    Step 6

    This was just your regular lotion with no dyes or fragrance and I added a few drops of the citris essential oil.

  7. Step 7

    Step 7

    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.

    Hope you guys like! (=
