You have to download  these printable spa labels from ‘Lia Griffith‘. LOVE! Any clear jar or canister can be turned into a fancy spa container… You just print them onto a full label sheet, and then cut them out. I like the idea of using the pinking scissors for the edge… Nice finish! Thanks Lia, I am going to make these for my bathroom. And then I will keep them on my rustic bath caddy, right next to the wine and the book. Ahhhhh….

Create your own spa bathroom bath mat with moss! This living bath mat is the perfect DIY for the nature lover who wants that spa retreat feel… Tutorial from ‘Hunker‘. Love this idea!

I would never have thought of this, but it’s one of those little “smell the roses” details that makes decorating fun! From ‘Free People‘, if you have a window in your bathroom, bring plants and greenery into the shower, turning it into a spa sanctuary! You can even just bring clippings set into a pretty jar filled with water, and set it on a shower shelf. Indulgent? Nope, amazing! Another option? Hang Eucalyptus from the shower head!

Learn  to make this rustic bath caddy from just one piece of wood. This project is from Tim and Mary at ‘17 Apart‘, via Ehow. Ok. Let’s talk about this. Bath. wine. book. All in one amazingly charming place? The perfect spa bath on a budget! Want more? Check out our post on DIY Bath Caddies!

From ‘Live Simply‘, make your own scented homemade candles perfect for a spa day! These are made with lavender & rosemary. This is an easy DIY with meltable wax flakes and scented essential oils. Oh, and a mason jar! (Or 5, I would love a whole group of these for my “spa night” in!)
