Valentine Sugar Scrub with Salt Dough Tags

A Valentine sugar scrub gift for that special person in your life…maybe that’s you!

To be brave is to love someone uncontionally, without expecting anything in return. – Madonna

It’s FRI-YAY….and you know what that means.  It’s time for Salvage Sister & Mister Feature Me!

There is so much great inspiration out there, and we are honored to feature YOU.

Today’s Valentine Sugar Scrub project comes from an Instagrammer @saffronanddaisies.

She is an IT professional by the day who loves to do fun projects with her kids and around the house. She is also a decor enthusiast who runs a small handmade handloom fabric pillow covers from India. The Prints are made of a technique called Kalamkari which is from Southern Part of India. The fabric is 100% cotton and dyed using vegetables. No artificial dyes or colors.

This is not only a fun gift but also a great way to reuse mason jars, like empty jam jars you have saved, and also scrapbook paper leftovers.

Note– We did a coffee scrub a while back and then found out that coffee is no good in a shower/bath as it clogs the drains.  We did some research and found this info on sugar scrubs to ensure of no plumbing issues: “You don’t have to stop scrubbing if you look for scrubs containing sea salt or sugar, as both break down quickly with water exposure.” – lapinte.com

BUT WAIT…THERE’S MORE……….

SALT DOUGH TAGS

BONUS – She also included her info for those salt dough tags you can attach to the jar for décor and as an added gift.

• Mix AP flour, salt, and water into a dough and keep aside for 30 minutes covered. (Here is an exact recipe, but it’s basically 1 part salt to 2 parts flour to 1 part water) 
• Roll out and cut shapes using a cooking cutter, she used the heart shape.
• Poke the hole at the top with a small dowel.
• Wait for them to dry.
• She let the kids doodle the beautiful designs with sharpies.
