2 cups Epsom salts
2 tablespoons water
A few drops essential oil(s)
1 drop food coloring, plus more if desired
plastic pipette
large or small round bath-ball molds
storage jars
Directions
Stir together Epsom salts and water
in a mixing bowl. Using pipette,
add oil, 1 drop at a time, until
strength of scent is to your liking.
Add food coloring, 1 drop at a time,
until desired shade is achieved;
stir until color is even throughout.
Spoon a generous amount of mixture
into 1/2 of a bath-ball mold.
Pack firmly. Repeat, packing mixture
into second half of mold. Press pieces
together until they connect.
Remove top half of mold very carefully.
Let bath ball stand, mold
side down, overnight (set ball on an
overturned jar lid to keep it from tipping over)
Remove mold carefully. Invert,
and let ball dry completely,
2 to 3 days more. Transfer to jars.
