What's That Smell?

I LOVE bath salts. And what a better way to display them and sell them than in an adorable box created by you!


This box is done much like the acetate box but this one only has two pieces to it. Cut your card stock 8 1/4" long by 5 7/16" tall. Score like you would for the acetate box at 1 15/16" inches 3 times across. Score the bottom edge at 1 15/16" Follow the directions for the rest of the box here.

I used a wheel and wheeled on white card stock. I punched a 1 3/8" hole for the window and added a piece of acetate, attaching it with Tacky glue. I also used Tacky glue to put the box together with. I figured I had the glue out anyway! I'm SO lazy!!! LOL I made the cover and glued it also. I did not punch holes in the side of the box or lid to tie the ribbon on with. I just wrapped the ribbon on the outside of the box and tied it into a bow. It gave it more of an elegant look having the ribbon go all the way around the box. I added a little Bayou Blue bow on the front of the box. It was just enough to keep it looking feminine enough.

I filled a little 2" x 3" zip bag with bath salts and put it inside the box before I taped it up. The recipe for the bath salts can be found here. It is now ready for gift giving, craft fairs or to do as a Make N Take or for Stamp Camp. Lots of uses for this item!!

Thank you for stopping in today,
Wanda

Very cute idea! Think will do one for my xmas stamp camp. I just want to confirm so I do the right thing, can you put the salts in a plastic bag or not? One entry says no, it's the enemy, and thie entry say you put it in a 2x3 bag. I just want to make sure it is ok to do. Thanks,
