Old Bits of Soap
Bucket of Water

Put the pieces of soap into the bucket of water and let it stand overnight. By the morning the soap has dissolved and leaves a thick slime. Looks good if green paint or food coloring is added to it.

2 1/2 lb Epsom Salts
Food Coloring
Perfume

Combine Epsom salts with food coloring and perfume in a large bowl. Mix well so color is even. Put into smaller jars and let stand 4-6 weeks before using. This causes the odor to blend with the salts. This bath salt is very soothing and makes for a very relaxed bath.

1 pt Powdered Borax
2 pt Cornmeal
Covered cardboard box (shoe or stationery box)
Fresh flowers

1. Thoroughly mix borax and cornmeal. 2. Cover the bottom of the box with 3/4 of an inch of this mixture. 3. Cut flower stems about 1 inch long. Lay the flowers face down in this mixture. Spread the petals and leaves so that they lie as flat as possible. Do not place flowers too close together. 4.Cover the flowers with 3/4 of an inch of the mixture. 5. Place the lid on the box and keep at room temperature for 3 to 4 weeks. This is an excellent way to preserve corsages or flowers from someone special. Try daisies,pansies, apple blossoms, asters, violets, and other flowers with this method. They will stay summer fresh indefinitely.

Fresh Flowers
Florist's wire
Airtight container such as -a coffee can
Plastic bag
Borax
Wire or string
Soft brush

1. Pick flowers at the peak of their bloom. 2. Remove the stems. Make new stems with florist's wire. Run wire through the base of the flower and twist the two ends together. 3. Line the coffee can with the plastic bag. 4. Pour enough borax into the plastic bag to cover the bottom to a depth of 1 inch. 5. Place flower face down in the borax. Pour about 1 inch of borax over the top of the flower. Add more flowers and borax until the container is full. 6. Gather the top of the bag, squeezing out all the air inside it. Fasten shut with wire or string. 7. Place lid on can and set aside in a dry place for at least 4 weeks. 8. Remove flowers from borax and carefully brush away all borax with a soft brush. USES: Flowers preserved in this way make colorful "permanent" floral arrangements. Flowers picked at the peak of their bloom remain fresh looking indefinitely. TO USE: Using the wire stems, make an attractive flower arrangement as you would a fresh-flower bouquet.
