Lemon Sugar Scrub Gifts

Lemon scrub



I got the recipe and tags are here

I did a little bit of a change
I like the coarser sugar
so I used 


1 1/4 C raw sugar
1 1/4 C white Sugar
1 C olive oil


then add 4Tbsp or abt 1 lemon

I use one of these to get the most out
of the lemon


I also warm the lemon in
micro

mix well
and spoon into a jar


to deocrate I used the tags from the link above 
I printed them on white but it didn't
give it the look I wanted 
so I dabbed on the  following


 to make it look more antique


I then wanted to do 
something special for the spoons
I have another project
 I am going to do w 
the thinner baby spoons
so while looking for them 
I cam across these 
and they were perfect


so I got out some jewels
I had and E6000
and glitzed them up





then it was time to put it together


the ribbon wouldn't stay so it was back to square one

I had these plastic bags






It makes abt four 8 oz jars
 w a little left over for you 
 I added more sugar for a 5th jar

  5. I bet this smells really yummy! You've been busy, girl! Cute job on the spoons to hide the "gerber" logo. How do you find the time to do all this? I am still struggling to come out from under the box chaos- they are all upstairs in a spare bedroom. LOL~ Sue

  6. The spoons are totally a cute idea. I love the lemon scrub. I have made some of this before. I needed a spoon to get mine out. Great job!
