My first crafting project

I can’t stop talking about how much I love Pinterest. I’ve found so many great recipes and crafting ideas on there! I wanted to give a homemade gift to my wonderful Thanksgiving hostess, but I had no clue what to make. Pinterest, to the rescue! I came across an easy-to-make lemon sugar scrub from Stephanie’s blog – Under The Table and Dreaming. 3 ingredients is all you need to make a 16 oz. jar of the scrub (The original recipe stated that the mix would fill a 12 oz. mason jar, so if you use that size, there will probably be some left over for yourself). I’m planning on making more for a few family members for Christmas presents.

Ingredients

2 1/2 cups sugar

1 cup extra virgin olive oil

4 Tbsp lemon juice

Directions

1. Mix sugar and olive oil together in a large bowl.

2. Add lemon juice to the mixture and stir until a gritty paste forms.

3. Spoon into a mason jar or other glass container of your choosing.

4. I added a decorative ribbon around the top of the jar to dress it up a little bit.

I also slapped a label on top so the recipient would know what was inside.
