Steps:

1. Place the dry ingredients in a bowl and then mix them all evenly with the whisk.

2. In a separate container, mix the liquid ingredients together. Note that in this step, the essential oils, fragrances, and colors are added. This is an important step! Make sure to pick out lots of fragrance oils to try out here, as you can make many fabulous combinations for bath time.

Foot Print Stool

You will need:

• wooden stool spray paint (2 coordinating colors)

• sandpaper/power sander

• scrapbook paper

• Mod Podge & foam brush

• Finishing craft spray or poly

Steps:

1. Paint your stool. Let dry, then distress the edges if desired.

2. Footprints: I used spray paint, because it dries faster than wall paint, and doesn’t get as gloppy. I sprayed the paint onto a paper plate then using your finger or small brush, apply the paint to the bottom of the foot. Place it directly onto the surface, making sure to press down each toe. Press firmly, then carefully lift up. Repeat for each footprint. Let dry.
