Sugar Scrub {Handmade Gifts}
Crafts
There are several sugar scrubs on Pinterest.
Here’s what I did with the following ingredients:
Sugar
Dawn with Olay Hand Renewal
A cute Mason Jar
1. I filled the jar with sugar, to the first ridge. Leaving room to stir.
2. Then I poured in the Dawn.
3. Stir well.
4. Add more sugar and stir, if needed.
I used the round white Avery labels, I bought mine at Walmart**.**
I packed them back in to their box, took them to the store and gave my Painting Friends a little gift for Christmas!
These are the cutest, easiest, most useful gifts!

My thoughts and prayers go out to the families of the Victims of Sandy Hook.
I think of my own grandsons, the school they attend is the same grade/age range as Sandy Hook and my heart breaks thinking of these families.
Praying.

ArchiveHow would you add color or fragrance ?
Alice, the Dawn has different fragrances and different colors. I just chose the blue and white.
What a great present and I love your personalized gift tags too. I will by pinning and copying!
isn't this the best stuff ever - so pampering yet so easy!! I love to make it with brown sugar too! something very cozy about this version in the wintertime! http://www.northerncottage.net/2011/12/polishing-skin-scrub.html
happy day to you!
What a great idea to make your own scrub! I am always looking for simple, homemade gifts. Love your idea!
What a fast, fun simple gift. So thoughtful though!!
I can't wait to try this!!! Wish I had seen it before now to give to my ladies bible study - always a Happy New Year gift!
How CUTE and practical!
After reading the comments I see that the colored jars had a colored Dawn liquid. That's easy!!!!
Why might I want to add more sugar? Is there a consistency that is needed?
And how do you use the scrub? (I hope that doesn't seem to obvious to everyone else?) :D
Diane, adding more sugar just makes a thicker solution. Painters and gardeners love to scrub with this awesome easy sugar scrub :)

What a great idea, Debbie! My teacher friends would love something like this! Thanks for sharing ~ xo Heidi
PS -- I've been so heavy hearted as I look at my little preschoolers this week; yesterday during our Christmas program we all wore ribbons in memory of the Sandy Hook victims. Just can't wrap my head around such a tragedy.
Thanks Debbie! I'm so lucky to have my very own jar. Yes, my painted hands thank you too :)
I love this gift idea!!! I am so trying this!!!!
There's nothing better than a good sugar scrub - everyone needs some pampering!
Wishing you a very merry Christmas Debbie!

I made this last Christmas and added coconut oil to mine. An other plus is, if you mix it with your hands, they're smooth as silk whrn you finish. :)
Thanks Pamela!
Can this be used as a full body scrub?
Hi Marsha, I'm not sure about the whole body but I would use it on my feet and hands! Let me know if you try the whole body.
where did you find the cute little mason jars?
Hi Joni, I got my mason jars at Wal-mart. Thanks for stopping by!
Hi! This looks awesome, and I really want to make some for my mom. Can i use a different kind of of soap or something because my mom would get suspicious if i asked for soap at the store. lol
