Beaded Bottles

Dick Blick is an Art Supply Company that I love. They come up with fresh project ideas every year, that are above and beyond any other company that I have worked with.

I'm extra lucky, because I'm going to meet the crafty geniuses from Blick tomorrow, when I attend the American Camping Association Conference. They always have amazing samples that I love to see.

This craft struck me as a simpler, yet more intricate kind of mosaic project. The beads are stuck onto the bottle with wax, and can be removed fairly easily if needed.

Instructions

All Natural Bath Products

Last summer, we created custom bath salts using
2/3 cup Epsom salts
2 or 3 drops of candle fragrance
A few drops of food coloring.

We stirred our mixture with wooden craft sticks, and poured our bath salts into glass jars which we decorated with pretty gem embellishments.

This was a great craft for our youngest campers, and though we didn't get a chance to do this with our oldest campers, they all seemed very interested. This summer, we will definitely give the older girls a chance.

I found a cool site called www.kitsforcrafts.com. They have all kinds of project kits and recipes for homemade, all natural bath products, just right for kids. Perfect!!!
