Say sayonara to sleepless nights

with this pretty eye pillow inspired

and periwinkle, wrapped with a

simple obi sash, gives the eye mask

the dried lavender flowers and

lavender essential oil produce a

tranquil effect, making this stylish

creation the eye pillow of your

dreams. Make one for yourself

and one for a friend!

Happy Lucky

Dream Pillow

�0

��

To make the filling, blend

the lavender flowers, flax

seeds, and �0 drops of

lavender essential oil in a

bowl. Let air dry for one hour.

3

Use the funnel to pour the scented

flax seed filling into the opening

of the pillow. The pillow should be

floppy, not plump.

4

Cool TrickTo soothe an achy head, place your eye pillow in the freezer for 15 minutes before use.

Then place over your eyes and chill out.��

To make the pillow, lay the

kimono fabric face-up and

fold in half, so the wrong side

is on the outside. Pin all three

open edges together with the

straight pins.

1

Hand stitch the edges together

with a backstitch, sewing one

stitch, leaving a space, then sewing

back over the space. On the last

side, leave a �” gap unsewn to pour

in the filling. Remove the pins and

turn the sewn pillow inside out.

2

What to do ...

�� ��

To get the look of a kimono

sash, lay the periwinkle satin

face down. Fold a �” hem on

the two long sides and iron.

Then fold a �” hem on one of

the short sides and iron.

6

Lay the pillow crossways across

the periwinkle fabric. Fold the

periwinkle satin around the

pillow, overlapping the hemmed

end on top of the unironed end.

Pin together.

7

Stitch the opening closed with a slipstitch hidden inside the

seam by folding the fabric edges in and tacking them together.

Stitch inside each fold in a back-and-forth pattern.

5

��

Stitch the top end of the

periwinkle satin to the

bottom end of the satin

with a slipstitch.

8

Wrap the peach ribbon around

the periwinkle sash to finish off

the look. Then tie a petite bow

and trim the ends. Naptime!

9

Dreamy Ideas You can dream up all kinds

of exquisite eye pillows by simply swapping out fabrics and fragrances.

Day Dream Pillow: An afternoon nap calls for an herbal eye pillow

scented with chamomile and neroli. To create the filling, follow the recipe for the

eye pillow, but substitute dried chamomile flowers for the lavender buds and

infuse the mixture with drops of neroli essential oil instead of lavender. Then wrap

the filling in soft purple satin and tie with a swath of sage silk.

Tangerine Dream Pillow: For this citrusy version, follow the recipe

for the eye pillow, but leave out the lavender and double the amount of flax seeds.

Skip the lavender oil and drizzle in tangy sweet orange essential oil. Choose a

bold graphic print in a jazzy orange and yellow, then finish off your pillow with

an orange satin ribbon.

Wildest Dreams Pillow: Escape from it all with an exotic clove

bud pillow. Just follow the eye pillow recipe, but instead of lavender buds fill

the pillow with flax seeds only. For a robust aroma, trade the lavender essential

oil for drops of clove bud. Then wrap the filling with zebra-striped cotton and

cinch with a scarlet sash.

Give a gift that is totally the

bomb with these lime-and-mint-

scented Mojito Bath Bombs.

They are loaded with moisturizing

grapeseed oil, a zingy minty scent,

and enchanting iridescent soap

glitter. And when you drop

them in the tub, they fizz and

fizz and fizz! Your friends will

be tickled, literally!

How I Learned

to Stop

Worrying

and Love the

Bath Bomb

�0 ��

Pour the scented oil into the

bowl of dry ingredients. Mix

well with the spatula.

3

Add �� drops of lime green soap

dye and mash the mixture together

until it is the texture of cookie

dough. (Don’t worry if it fizzes

a little.)

4

This recipe makes

ten 1¼” bombs.

Package nine as gifts and

save one for yourself.

You’ve got to test

it, right?!

To concoct the bombs, mix

the citric acid, cornstarch,

baking soda, and soap glitter

together in a mixing bowl.

1

In a measuring cup, combine the

grapeseed oil with �0 drops of

spearmint essential oil. Stir with

the spatula

2

What to do ...

�� ��

Spritz each bomb with one

or two sprays of witch hazel.

They will fizz at first, but will

eventually dry to a crust. Allow

the bombs to air dry for a few

hours, then turn them over and

spritz the other side. Allow to

dry overnight.

6

To package your bombs, place

three balls into a cellophane

favor bag. Use the striped

ribbon to tie each bag closed.

7Using the melon baller, scoop out a ball of the mixture into your hand.

Press the ball tightly together and shape to form a ball. Place the ball onto

a cookie sheet covered in waxed paper. Repeat until all of the mixture has

been formed into bombs.

5

Recipe For Success:

If your bath bombs are

crumbly and won’t stick

together, add a few more drops

of oil. If they seem too gooey,

add more cornstarch.

�� ��

To create the labels, write “Mojito

Bath Bombs” on a round tag with

a lime Sharpie. Using the thin

mint ribbon, tie one tag and two

mint leaves onto each bag. Those

bath bombs fizz fo’ shizzle!

9

To embellish the bags, cut the

kelly green paper into leaves

shaped like mint, then crease

them lengthwise and fold for

a leaf-like effect. Punch a hole

in one end of each leaf. You

will need two leaves per bag.

8Effervescent Presents To custom blend bath bombs that are just right for special occasions, change the scent

and embellish the bag to go with your theme.

Candy Cane Mints: For a bath bomb that says “Season’s Greetings,” follow

the bath bomb recipe, but substitute peppermint essential oil for spearmint essential oil,

and leave out the lime green soap dye. Embellish the bags with mini-candy canes instead

of mint leaves, and use a red sash to tie the bags closed. Ho ho ho!

Red Hots: For a Valentine’s Day bath bomb, follow the recipe for bath bombs,

but swap out the peppermint essential oil for cinnamon oil. Dye the bombs pink using

red soap dye and tie them up with a big pink bow. Add a heart cutout to make

your valentine complete.

Sweet Bath Oranges: A refreshing soak is just what Mom wants for

Mother’s Day, so make her a batch of sweet orange bath bombs. Follow the recipe for

bath bombs, but use orange soap dye instead of lime and use sweet orange essential oil

instead of spearmint. When you package the sweet orange bombs, tie the bag with

a bright green ribbon and small white flowers cut-out to look like orange blossoms.

Sugar Cookies: For a fun birthday party favor, make bath cookies. Follow

the bath bomb recipe, but leave out the soap dye and use vanilla fragrance oil instead of

spearmint. After you place the bombs on the wax paper cookie sheet, pop them into

a �00-degree oven for �0 minutes. They’ll melt into cookie shapes. Take them out and let

them cool, then spritz them with witch hazel and let them dry. Yummy! (But don’t eat them!)

Rags To Riches

These elegant sachets

require so little fabric

you can use the finest

materials without

breaking the bank.

Look for sumptuous

fabrics in the special

occasion section. After

all, isn’t making sachets

a special occasion?

To create the scented sachet

filling, pour the rosebuds and

petals into a bowl.

Add �0 drops of the rose fragrance

oil and �0 drops of the lavender

essential oil and stir.

2

1What to do...

�0 ��

V Variety Is The Spice Of Life For sachets to suit other moods, from calming to uplifting, just substitute

different herbs and essences.

Relaxing Lavender Sachet: Lavender is not only fragrant, it’s

beautiful! So choose sheer ivory fabric like organza and let the buds show

through. Finish your sachet with a blue hydrangea and a purple velvet sash.

Cozy Clove Sachet: To make a sachet suited for fall, blend clove bud

essential oil, cinnamon essential oil, and calendula petals. Wrap in burnt

orange raw silk, top with an orange chrysanthemum, and tie with a

chocolate-brown bow.

Energizing Mint Sachet: For a reviving sachet, mix peppermint

essential oil, grapefruit essential oil, and peppermint leaves. Use green

taffeta, a bouquet of tiny paperwhites, and a chartreuse satin ribbon to

finish the sachet.

6

Gather the corners and edges

of the fabric square tightly

together around the filling to

form a ball.

Secure the fabric at the top

with a small rubber band.

5

4

�� ��

Stick the remaining rose stem

down into the center of the

sachet.

Finish the sachet by wrapping the

organdy ribbon around the top to

conceal the rubber band. Then tie

the ribbon in a tidy knot and trim

the ends at an angle. Scentsational!

8

7

To embellish the sachet, snip the stem of

the silk rose �” from the base of the bloom. 6

Filling Fine:

Sachets need a filling of dried

herbs for the essential oils to

hang onto. Calendula petals,

dried rose petals, and lavender

flowers are the most popular

because they bring a great

scent to the mix.

Foot Soak

��

Give the gift of happy feet

with an aromatic foot soak in

exhilarating eucalyptus and

rosemary. This blend of Epsom

salts, coarse sea salt, and

baking soda softens skin while

soothing tired tootsies. What

an amazing feat for the feet!

�� ��

To package the foot soak,

spoon it into the jar and place

the lid on top.

3

Epsom Salts:

Epsom salts have been used in bath soaks since the mid ��00s, when a

farmer in Epsom, England discovered that the salt seemed to heal scratches.

Chemically, it is Magnesium Sulfate, but you can find it in cartons at the

drugstore simply labeled “Epsom Salts.”

To create the foot soak,

pour the Epsom salts, sea

salt, baking soda, and dried

rosemary into a mixing

bowl and stir.

1

To scent the mixture, add �0 drops

of eucalyptus essential oil and �0

drops of rosemary essential oil a

few drops at a time and stir until

no clumps are present. Drizzle in

the glycerin while stirring.

2

What to do ...

�� ��

Carefully peel the

backing off without

bending the aluminum

tape and place the label

onto the jar.

5

To embellish the beaded

salt-scoop, place a bead on

the end of the wire and twist

the end into a swirl.

6Craft an embossed label for your jar by cutting a �” piece of the aluminum

flashing tape (do not remove the backing yet!). Place the flashing tape onto

a soft surface (like the underside of a mouse pad). Using the chopstick,

handwrite “Rosemary Foot Soak” on the tape, pressing firmly to emboss the

letters into the metal tape.

4

�� ��

Tie your beaded salt-scoop

to the jar by wrapping a piece

of garnet ribbon around the

neck of the jar and tying a

knot around the scoop. Now

that foot soak is good for

the sole!

9

Different Soaks For Different Folks

To spice up your foot soaks,

mix the salts and baking soda

together and separate the mixture

into three batches. Add different

loose herbs and a different essential

oil to each batch. Then pour

the blends into three spice

jars and label them with

spice jar labels.

Press the wire swirl flat against

the handle and wrap the wire

around the end of the coffee scoop

handle once. String one glass bead

onto the wire so it rests flat on top

of the handle. Continue wrapping

the wire around the handle,

adding a bead every other time

around until you reach the spoon-

end of the scoop.

7

Trim the wire, leaving �

inches at the end. Finish off

your beaded salt-scoop by

twisting a swirl into the end

of the wire, adding one bead

at the end, then pressing the

swirl flat against the handle.

Sweet Creams Are Made Of This

Emollients are the creamy goodness in skincare products. Most of the following popular emollients can be found at grocery stores and drugstores.

Grapeseed Oil: an exceptional all-over moisturizer good for damaged and stressed tissues.

Almond Oil: a sweet and nutty emollient for nearly all skin types.

Coconut Oil: a marvelous moisturizer that creates a protective barrier for the skin.

Olive Oil: a thick, rich oil that provides a moisturizing base for foot soaks and scrubs.

Honey: a viscous emollient for everything from cleansing scrubs to calming masks.

Vitamin E: a healing moisturizer and protector for dry skin.

Essential

Difference:

Essential oils are

botanical essences

distilled from plants.

Fragrance oils

are synthesized to

produce a desired

generally cost more

than fragrance oils,

and some people

believe they have

healing powers.
