Herbal Bath Sachets

People have been taking luxurious baths since long before the days of the Romans and Egyptians. If you put some relaxing herbs in the bath with you, it can make the time you spend there like a relaxing spa escape.

Supplies:
Muslin or other pourous fabric
narrow ribbon
oatmeal
powdered milk
dried herbs - lavender, thyme, rosemary

Start with a piece of fabric about 4" x 6". Fold it in half the long way, then sew up the bottom and sides. Trim the top with pinking shears so it looks pretty, then turn it inside out so the seams are on the inside.

Mix together the oatmeal, powdered milk (in equal amounts to fit in the bag) plus the herbs. You want to fill each bag about half way full. Tie a ribbon around the bag's mouth to hold it shut. You can use the ribbon to hang the bag by the faucet so the water runs through the bag.
