Here's a quick, inexpensive and easy
packaging idea; Removing labels off empty glass jars. Relish jars, olive
jars and baby food jars all work well. Spray paint the lids with a granite
spray. Hand lotion recipes packaged in a cobalt bottle or a brushed aluminum bottle
always present well. Or, place your natural body lotion recipe in
decorative bottles. For an added touch, write the recipe on a little card
and tie the recipe onto the bottle with ribbon or raffia.
