Homemade Sugar Scrub

This is not a new or original idea, I've seen it on several blogs all over the place.  This worked so well and ends up being pretty inexpensive per jar.  I'm thinking of making this as favors or prizes for a baby shower I'm throwing in a couple of weeks, I think that moms, grandmas, heck, all women would love this.

All you need is a small jar, regular granulated sugar, and liquid soap.  I used Dawn Hand Renewal with Olay because it smells good and doesn't dry out my hands like some dishsoap can, my regular sugar that I use for baking, and a small jelly jar that I found around the house.




Fill the jar about 3/4 full with sugar.






Fill the rest of the way with soap.


Stir with a butter knife.


I found that I needed to add some extra sugar and soap to fill the jar and get the consistancy I wanted.




Then I just made a label and glued it to the lid.

I used this after digging in the garden and my hands are clean and oh so soft!  You can have lots of fun with this making all kinds of different scents!  With the holidays right around the corner, this would makea great gift for mom, grandma, the neighbor, or an office gift exchange!
