Here’s an easy, inexpensive homemade gift that the little ones can help with. The kids will love the pulverizing, and recipients will like its clean fragrance.

1 tablespoon dried herbs, pulverized (you can use rosemary, sage, thyme, peppermint, or a combination)

5 drops matching essential oil

1 personal-size Ivory soap bar, shredded and placed in a mixing bowl

Pour ¼ cup boiling water over the herbs and add the essential oil. Let steep for 20 minutes. Bring this mixture to a boil and pour over the soap. When cool enough, mix well by hand and let stand for 15 minutes. Mix again and form into 3 balls. Place on plastic wrap and let stand for 3 days. Makes 3 soap balls.
