To make it you could just get some sand from the beach and pour the sand through a sifter so that you only get the small grains and not big chunks of sand or pebbles and such. Then use the sand as the bathing dust and put it into a container for your pet to bathe in. However, if you can't go to the beach, then just grind up a bunch of peanut shells or other types of nut shells and sift that sand too. Good luck!

Just bought bought a dust bath for Delilah-Dwarf hamster when its in her cage she just goes inside and smells around why wont she use it normally how can i get her to use it?

Try eliminating any distractions. When we want our two Russian Dwarf Hamsters to use their dust bath, we take all out all the toys, tubes and wheel for about 30 minutes. This usually gets them to go into the dust bath. It may take her a little longer to get comfortable with the dust bath and be willing to roll around in the dust, but without any distractions, Delilah should catch on quickly.
