We know there are a lot of crafters who work in libraries. And of course, crafting is a great type of program to do in any type of library! Each week we are sharing links to a craft that you might want to try in your library – or work on it yourself.

Winter is really dragging along, and we could all use a little relaxation and self-care. So this week we are going to do some crafting self-care!

Check out this really easy project to make bath salts, scented however you like them. Make these as a fun project in your library, part of a whole self-care program. And of course, everyone could use a soothing, good-scented soak when winter starts to drag us down.

Here are the materials:

• 1 cup sea salt (fine or course can be found in your grocery store)
• 1 cup Epsom salt
  Optional:
• 1-2 tablespoons of baking soda
• 1-2 tablespoons of cornstarch
• 2 tsp glycerin (a lot of times can be found in your grocery store)
• 10-12 drops of essential oil or Fragrance oil
• Food coloring added a drop at a time until desired color is reached
