[Thyme for Herbs and Aromatherapy] Making Bath Bags - so easy & makes a great gift too!

 

 

Bath BagsHere are a few easy to make bath bag that you can sew and put soap or sea salt in for a loving bath. What You Need: Standard sized washcloths (use what ever colour(s), or patterened washcloths you have, I tend to use pices of cloths that have been discarded) 1/2 yard of Ribbon or Lace Thread of any colour (white will do if you have no other colours to match your washcloths) Scissors Sewing Machine (if you don't have a sowing machine, then you will have to sow it by hand) What to do: First you need to take one of the washcloths and fold it in half, make sure that the best side is what is on the inside (this is dun so that it will presureve the orginal look of the washcloth after its been sown).Next, take the length of ribbon or lace and fold it in half. Then place the length of ribbon or lace along the folded edge of the inside of the open edge near the top of the washcloth.Next you will need to pin the sides of the folded washcloth together, remember you will have to make sure that the ribbon or lace is also in this pinning.Now you will need to sow up the side and the bottom that are open.You are almost dun, now turn the sown pice inside out, and fill it with soap or bath salts, and tie closed with the ribbon or lace.There you have it you now have a personal Bath Bag, to use in the bath or even in the shower.
