Foot Soak Recipes – An Easy Craft for Kids to Make

Join us as we share three foot soak recipes, gift ideas, and free printable labels. These recipes are quick to prepare and there’s a blend for everyone.

Foot Soak Recipes

With regards to beauty and bath products, I’m currently in the “Why would I pay for a these when I can make my own for pennies?” phase. Join me as I share not one, but three foot soak recipes to have you pampering yourself (or others) in 10 minutes or less.

Foot soaks are great when gifted in a jar with a scoop, but are also well-received when given in smaller, or even single use jars. Speaking of gifting them, use anything you can find to store these in. Small hermetic jars keep moisture out well, but you can use mini mason jars, larger candy jars, or preserve jars. In related news, I used the last of my strawberry-guava jam from Hawaii and I’m thinking a trip is in order to replenish my supply.

I’ve created a couple of labels for you: both the labels are free for download, but the circle labels are for email subscribers as part of our Exclusive Content section.

Very few, simple ingredients are needed for these foot soak recipes. The instructions for all of these foot soak recipes is the same: put all ingredients into a bowl reserved for crafts and stir well with a wooden spoon.

Lemon Mint “Smoothing” Blend Foot Soak

• 1 cup baking soda
• 1/2 cup Epsom salt
• lemon and mint essential oils (8-10 drops total)
• mint leaves (optional)
• dried lemon peel (optional)

I dried out my peels in a 200 degree (F) oven for about 10 minutes before adding them to my foot soak. Because this is being bottled, I wanted to limit the amount of moisture in the mix.

Foot soaks can also be made into fizzy foot soaks (a.k.a. mini bath bombs) using a brownie bites pan. In order to do that, visit my recipes for bath bombs and alter the ingredients: no-fail bath bomb recipe, detoxifying recipe, or my favorite, the moisturizing recipe.

Winter feet deserve a quick-to-prepare, pampering foot soak recipe to soften them up. We would sincerely appreciate it if you saved this to a Pinterest board or shared it on your Facebook timeline.
