Make It Monday: D.I.Y. Sugar Scrub
A Little Lady is on her way series
D.I.Y. Sugar Scrub (Baby shower favors/gifts)
Recently I hosted a Baby Shower for Amy of This Mamas Life for her (due any day) baby girl. While planning the event I was trying to come up with different shower favors/gifts/game prizes. I came across a similar idea on Pinterest (my new addiction according to my husband). I wanted to tie it into the theme of the shower so I picked the white polka dot red ribbon and got crafty…
I found the Ball mason jars at my local Kroger. They had several different sizes to choose from. I chose these…
First I took the jars apart and hot glued the ribbon to the ring.
I used Kroger Brand Sugar and Dawn Renewing dish washing soap in Pomegranate Splash (the pink one)
Then I “measured” the sugar. I had 3 jars for scrub so I used two jars full of sugar and poured them into a medium size bowl. I mixed them together with a spoon and a silicone spatula
I had to add some more sugar and some more soap to get the right amount for 3 jars as well as a nice smooth consistency that wasn’t to runny and pour off the spatula/spoon. Once I got it the way I wanted it. I simply spooned it into the jars, wiped them clean and closed them up.
The scrub came out a pale pink color and smelled oh so good. I put each one in a gift bag with a ribbon and a tag telling everyone what it was.
Sugar scrubs are great. I like the citrus scents the best. I should make my own sometime.
My granddaughter is expecting & I’m going to help her friend with a baby shower. This is a cute, thrifty idea that I will save
This is a great DIY project, I think I would use something other than Dawn dish washing soap. Maybe just sugar and olive oil, something without any detergent in it. Thank you for sharing this recipe, I didn’t know it was so easy to make a sugar scrub.
I loved that you used Dawn Renewing dish washing soap. This is always gentle on my skin. Love the jar you put this in. Ribbon detail is so pretty. Great for gifts.
Sounds good! I am going to try this
What a great idea! My daughter loves to make homemade gifts for her friends, This would be perfect!
Wow, I had no idea that sugar scrub was made form sugar and dish soap! I wasn’t even sure that it had real sugar in it, lol. Learn something new everyday! Thanks for the recipe!
That looks so easy! I love homemade bath products!
OH I love sugar scrubs!!! Im so trying this!! Itd be a super cute stocking stuffer too. Ideas ideas…lol
This is such a cute idea.
Hi Amy,
Nice idea, I’ll implement this Thanks 🙂
I have been wanting to make some, never find the time.
These would be great stocking stuffers or shower gifts. The ladies in my family love sugar scrubs. Thank you for sharing this, definitely going to try to make my own.
These are a really neat idea. These would make great gifts.
Really nice diy project.
Thank you for sharing. I have never made sugar scrub yet. It sounds like fun.
