How-To: Brown Sugar Scrub Gifts

Materials

Brown sugar I chose large crystals of dark brown sugar.
Almond oil
Mixing bowl
Spoon
Jar with lid
Decorative fabric scrap

Directions

Step 1: Spoon the brown sugar into the mixing bowl. The exact measurements of each ingredient aren’t as crucial to the outcome as the final 2:1 ratio of sugar to oil. I used about 2 cups of sugar.

Step 2: Pour in the oil. Use half as much oil as sugar. I added approximately 1 cup of almond oil.

Step 3: Mix the oil and sugar together. This is the really fun part that kids can’t wait to get to! As you stir, the sugar seems to just soak up the oil. If there is too much oil, it will pool at the bottom of the bowl, and you can just add more sugar until it has been absorbed. On the other hand, if the mixture seems dry, add more almond oil.

Step 4: Spoon the sugar scrub into a glass jar.

Step 5: Wipe the edges of the jar clean and then set the decorative fabric on the flat piece of the lid. Hold down the scrap and screw on the threaded ring of the lid. Store the scrub in the refrigerator, but let it warm to room temperature before using it, otherwise, brrrrr!!! Cross someone off your list, because their gift is done!
