This is a present to sprinkle in bath water. Here are the items you will use for this present: <br />

3.
1 cup of baking soda<br />1 cup of dried flower petals (Rose, Chrysanthemum, or Gardenia) No leaves.<br />1 plastic bag with zip seal <br />Pen, ruler, and stapler (optional)<br />

4.
To dry the flower petals is easy. Use a wilted flower and pull the petals off.<br />

5.
Separate these petals and lay them all down on one paper towel.<br />

6.
Set another paper towel on top and fold it over once, then fold again, and staple or clothespin it shut. <br />

7.
Set the folded towel near a sunny window for about 3 days. It will dry and become crisp.<br />

8.
Check them; if one petal crumbles when you rub it with your fingers, it is ready. Measure one cup of baking soda and pour it into the plastic bag.<br />

9.
Gently crumble the dried flowers in your hand and sprinkle them into the bag. Seal the bag tight. <br />

10.
Now shake the bag to mix the soda and flowers together. Cut a piece of paper,<br />4&quot; x 6&quot;.<br />

Fold it in half, and staple it over the seal of the plastic bag as a label.<br />Great for girls to give to girls as holiday gifts.<br />
