Homemade Lush Shower Jelly Tutorial
You'll Need:
- 2 packages unflavored gelatin
- 3/4 C boiling water

- 30 drops essential oils (your choice!)
- body safe coloring (optional)
- body safe glitter (optional)
- 1 tsp salt
- molds to pour mixture in
Directions:

- Pour gelatin packets into boiling water whisking until completely dissolved.
- Add the soap, essential oils, and coloring to the gelatin mixture, stirring well.
- Stir in salt, and pour mixture into molds.
