Spa Day craft ideas??

[Christina_10207]

I'm looking for some ideas for a craft to do on spa day.  One person on my steering committee wants to make hot choc. bath mix...personally this sounds gross and sticky.  Personally I don't want to take a choc. bath.  Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

I really don't have any ideas for you....sorry....but I totally agree with the EWWWW factor LOL!!  :O)

What about bath salts?  There are some really easy recipes online, and I think it would be resonable in terms of cost, and not nearly so EWWW!

  we are doing spa day around valentine's day...

my craft will be making fridge photo magnets from can lids....  (HAVE TO USE THE PAMPERED CHEF can opener... so no sharp edges though... I save all my lids, from soup cans, fruit, veggies, sauces, tomato paste etc...even the bottoms off some... so i have several sizes....

then to decorate,....  use glue and go around one of the inside lines then add tiny beads or shiny confetti pieces....

use punch for whatever size photo you want to place in center... then mod-podge everything...  I guess hot glue gun would work too???  although I have not tried it yet....

i will have the moms bring photos... then we will put names on back and leave there on cookie sheet to dry until next meeting.... some moms may add photos at home - so we will put names on back with permanent marker...

then another idea was the flax seed eye pillow... but too close to meeting now to get the material and prep sewing done for that....

they have lip balm kits you can get on-line... not sure what your group size is - or your budget... that's what makes the difference too on the craft...

our group size is around 25 or 26 and we are under $1 per person per craft for budget....  so we are really limited...  but so far so good!  they have loved the crafts so far....  just did the water bottle treasure find.....  filled bottle with soybeans and a birdseed mix then added all the little things to find....  made a list on computer and attached by string and rubberband to top (removable) for mom to ask kids what item to find in the bottle next....

my ideas aren't always themed like our meetings, but atleast they have a craft... so they can't get picky on me....!!!

let me know if you want some more of my ideas...i'd be happy to share...

We made body scrubs at our spa day.  I'm sure someone still has the recipes if you're interested.  We had a chocolate one and a pink petal one.  The pink petal was much more popular than the chocolate one.  For other meetings we have also made lip balm.

Thank you for all your ideas.  We are not making the chocolate milk bath mixture luckily.  It turns out that we are making sugar body scrub instead.

We're doing bath salts.
