Easy DIY Bath Salts Made With Dried Peonies That Are So Relaxing

November 20, 2019 by Jenny Leave a Comment

Now that the Fall weather has hit my area with full force, I’m coming to terms with the fact that I probably won’t get to spend tons of time in my garden until spring. Fortunately, there are a few great DIY ideas that allow me to use items harvested from the yard in unique and innovative ways. My favorite idea is the DIY bath salts made with dried peony leaves from my garden. Not only are these fun to make, but they are sure to perk you up nicely in case of bad winter weather.
Peonies are amazing. They are such a beautiful flower. Did you know they are also good for making bath salts? That's right, now you can use them long after they are done blooming in the garden. Let Bees And Roses show you how to dry the petals and use them for bath salts. Imagine the heavenly fragrance and color all year long. Transport your bath into an aromatic garden. Doesn't that sound inviting on a cold winter day? #peonies #driedpeonybathsalt
Here’s What You’ll Need for DIY Bath Salts:
-1 cup Epsom salts
-1/2 cup dried peony petals from your garden
– 1/4 cup fine Himalayan salt
-1/4 cup coarse Himalayan salt 
-Small glass jars to package your salts 
 
** You can find all of these ingredients at your local grocery store. You can even dry your own petals out of store-bought peonies. 

If you're looking for something you can DIY with stuff from your garden, look no further. These DIY bath salts are so easy to make and will help you relax.

Step One
Start by grinding your dried peony petals in a herb grinder. You can even do so with your hands if you do not have a grinder. Once they have been ground up, combine the petals with both kinds of Himalayan salts and mix well. 
These DIY bath salts are so easy to make with peonies you can dry from your garden. Learn how easy it is. You will feel so relaxed.
Step Two
After the petals have been mixed thoroughly with the Himalayan salts, mix in the Epsom salts. Stir well until completely combined. After you have mixed in all of the salts, package them in small mason jars or something similar for storage. You could even tie some ribbon around the top and give jars of these to your neighbors as a Christmas gift.
How To Use Your DIY Bath Salts
Now that you’ve made your own bath salts, most of the fun comes when you get to put them to use! Use half a cup of the mixture in a regular-sized bath and allow it to sit and dissolve for a few minutes before you get in. Drain the bathtub when you have finished in the tub, and make sure to rinse the tub out to remove any residue. 
 
Now that you know how to make these DIY bath salts, you can always indulge in a relaxing bath.
If you have peonies that are growing in your garden, you need to make DIY bath salts with them. Trust me, you will love the way they make you feel.
