We’ve all seen bath bombs in shops, colorful pictures on tumblr, pintrest or weheartit. It seems like bath bombs have become popular in these past years. What is so interesting about them though? They are fun, colorful and they have a pleasant fragrance. But did you know that they are also very easy to make? So if you want bath bombs, but do not have them in your area, or you find them expensive, you can also make them at home. So how about we get started then? Alright!
Let’s get on to making these beautiful wonders. First the dry ingredients. You measure the bicarbonate of sodium and the citric acid and mix them in a bowl (if you’re using corn starch and/or bath salts you will mix them together with the bicarbonate of sodium and the citric acid). Mix until there are no big lumps.
Step 2: You make a well with your finger in the middle of the dry mix and pour the essential oil/s, about 5-6 drops, depending on how strong the scent is you can add more or less. Then pour the food coloring, dried herbals/petals or cosmetic glitter if you are using them.
Step 3: Put on a pair of rubber gloves (as citric acid is a little irritating) and stir and mix until there are no lumps in the bowl.
Step 4: Using a spritzer bottle spray water around 10 times on top of the mixture. This binds it all together. After you’ve sprayed it, it starts to harden. Quick! Grab your molds and put the mixture into those molds. Be it an ice cube tray, hearty, little balls, anything you want. Don’t forget to compress it really well.
Step 5: Leave them overnight to harden
Step 6: Enjoy your own, handmade bath bombs! You’ve worked hard, you deserve a nice relaxing bath
The fun making your own bath bombs is that you can use ANY essential oils, mix them up as you like, use any food coloring or get a little crazy with them and make different colors, use whatever flowers and color glitter you want. It will all be lovely in the end.
Tip: In need of a gift and don’t know what to buy? Make some bath bombs. They will be highly appreciated.
