Easter Carrot Epsom Salt Soak - Quick DIY

I love creating basket fillers that don’t involve candy . . . can I get an Amen? I found these carrot shaped bags on Amazon and was initially going to fill them with pastel candies, but then inspiration hit! So now we have an orange essential oil scented, single serve, epsom salt soak!

Use a glass bowl with a pour spout to make things easier. A 16 ounce bag of plain epsom salts will create four carrots.

I used Wilton gel food coloring (affiliate link) in red and yellow to create the orange color. Just a smidge will give you rich color. You only need to use 3-4 drops of Sweet Orange essential oil. Stir well.

Fill the bags and use a twist tie to tightly seal. Use green ribbon or even raffia to finish them off.

Seriously . . . easiest craft ever!
