Update:
We have a tutorial on creating your own epsom salt luminaries on CraftBits:
One of the tips I have learned with Epsom salts is to actually be careful where you spill it, it can absorb water if left and stain the surface, I dropped some Epsom salts on the floor while I was using it for my Christmas crafts, I didn’t pick it up and when I came back to it the next day it has created an acidic mark. It left a white stain on my wood desk too. So when crafting with Epsom salts be sure to clean up straight away haha. Same goes for working with magnesium salts. Let’s just say I am a messy crafter.
Epsom salts give your crafts a snow look and it’s such a great medium for the holiday season. Fake snow can be expensive and this tutorial allows you to create snow flakes on a budget.
Original story below:
Kristin from MyUncommonSliceOfSuburbia, shares her step-by-step tutorial on creating Epsom salt luminaries.
She used glass balls from Michael’s and some Epsom salt that she already had to create these beautiful Epsom salt ornaments.
The effect is fake snow and it looks wonderful.

Epsom salts
and Magnesium salts
are not quite the same things. Epsom Salts Is Magnesium Sulphate and Magnesium flakes are Magnesium Chloride. So what does that mean for you, Epsom salt is harder to absorb into the body than a straight magnesium flake. But either is going to do wonders for your body and once you go Epsom salt or Magnesium you never go back. Epsom salt/Magnesium is great for the body and mind. Epsom salt helps relax muscles and relieve pain in the body and can promote sleep. Epsom salt/Magnesium helps stabilize your mood and relieve stress, anxiety, and depression, something we all need help with.
