    My first one :) Made with a 70mm polystyrene ball, very pale blue linen (just what I happened to have in my 'stash') and white organza ribbon.

    Hoping for some inspiration from you guys. Not made anything yet but having looked at all your idea,have a few in mind

    1st thing i want to make is Bath Cookies , but rather than make them look like regular choc chip cookies i want to use cookie cutters and make tree,baubles and snowmen.

    Its the snowman i have the problem with ...... Idea for the tree is to use green food colouring ,cut out the shape and maybe use different coloured (cookie mix) to make small decorations for the tree... and of course any colured dye for the baubles...what can I use to make the snowman white??? Is there paint that would be safe in the bath?

    I'm going to make these with my Daughter (4) and finish them in small cellophane bags and add grated white soap as snow to the bags and maybe some glitter for the baubles , again do you think this will be safe for in the bath

    I would like to put a homemade label on them ,to let folk know they are for the bath and not edible and also with something like ,made with 100% love by....... does anyone have any label templates?????

    Oh and where is best place to get the cellophane bags???

    Sorry if i have babbled a bit , but any help is much appreciated

    Keep up the good work everyone ....i'm sure this is gonna be some very big smiles at christmas to reward all you hard work

    Ohh just thought i also have some snowflake cutters too
  • the only thing i would say about food colouring and glitter for stuff in the bath is it may stain the person and the bath and the glitter may irritate the skin.

    there is glitter/confetti you can get that is specifically for the bath, as well as powdered colouring. I got my colouring from bathbomb.biz in little sachets. Just make sure and use a tiny amount, it doesn't look like much but once you add any oil and water you get a deeper colour (i ended up with lavender bombs in a really deep blue rather than a lavender colour)
  • i got bath colours from the same place, just to give you some extra reassurance :)
