Garden Hand Scrub

I have been trying to come up with a teacher gift for teacher appreciation next week. Yep, ya’ll that’s next week!

Most of the teachers in my children’s lives have a vegetable garden or enjoy working in their flower beds. So I decided to make a garden hand scrub.

I used 8oz. jelly jars and filled them ¾ full of sugar, approximately 1 ½ cups.

Then I added liquid dish soap until it almost reached the top.

I was going to use my Mrs. Myers dish soap but saw this Dawn one with Olay in it and thought that would be perfect. And it smells divine!

Stir to mix soap and sugar together.I found that a butter knife worked best. You want the consistency to be paste like and not too runny or firm. So you may need to add more sugar/dish soap to get the correct consistency.

I added a cute label and ribbon and we are good-to-go!

To wash the dirt off your hands, use a small amount and rub. The sugar works like an exfoliate removing the dirt while the soap washes it all away.

* **Update- The labels come FREE with the jelly jars!***

 Don’t forget a hand written note thanking them for all they do.
