Botanicals

Our botanicals section will help you make beautiful soaps and potpourris. We think that most botanicals are best suited to melt and pour soaps so you can see them. If you want to use botanicals in cold process soap making we suggest you use the dry plant material to make herbal teas and then use the teas as your water for the lye solution.

Potpourri is easily made and can be scented with any fragrance oil. The most simple of potpourri is just a bowl of botanicals with a drizzle of fragrance added. Enjoy!

Heat Sealable Tea Bags

We now carry heat sealable tea bags so you can make your own tub teas! Ever wanted to bathe with lavender flowers or roses but couldn't live with the thought of peppermint in your belly button and lemon balm between your toes? Tea bags are the answer! Make any herb you desire into a bath potpourri blend without the need to deep clean the tub afterward. These tea bags will prevent the "Who cleaned out the lawnmower in the bathtub?!!" syndrome. We also use these bags in the potpourri pot. The bags make for easy removal of the botanicals when you are ready for a new scent! Small bags are approximately 2.75 inches by 2.5 inches. Jumbo bags are approximately 4 inches by 5.5 inches. They are easily sealed with a household iron. Sold in packs of 50, 100 & 500. Bags are made from abaca fiber.
