Supply List:
- Dawn dish soap
- Granulated sugar
- Favor jars (I used these empty “Sweetie” fillable favor containers)
- Favor tags (I used these personalized die-cut card stock tags)
- Twine or ribbon
To make your hand scrub favors…
Step 1. Fill each of your favor jars about halfway with sugar, then slowly mix in the dish soap. Since the sugar is white and the favor jars are clear, you’ll be able to see when the soap has been mixed in with all of the sugar. Then, it’s just a matter of mixing until your scrub is well-blended but not too runny.
Step 2. Once your hand scrub has reached the ideal consistency, secure the lid and decorate each jar with a coordinating tag and ribbon!
Although Dawn’s Olay-infused Tropical Shea Butter dish soap was used in this instance to create pink party favors that matched BigDotofHappiness’ Girl Baby Carriage baby shower theme, there are tons of possible color combinations – just walk down the cleaning aisle of any department store and take note of all the dish soap varieties! Plus, Big Dot of Happiness’ favor tags are available to match all of their unique baby shower, birthday party, and bridal shower themes, so you can easily make your own hand scrub favors that match your special party theme perfectly.
