DIY Bath Bombs / Fizzies

After my DIY: Scented Bath Salts post and video, it was highly requested for me to do a DIY Bath Bomb tutorial! This takes more time, and is a little more messy...but a fun project! If you make the two projects together, it makes a great gift set for the holidays.

Supplies:

• 2 Cups Baking Soda
• 1 Cup Citric Acid
• I Cup Cornstarch 
• 2 TBSP Extra Light Olive Oil
• 10 drops Essential Oil
• Spray Bottle
• Water or Witch Hazel
• Food coloring / Soap coloring 
• Twine
• Jar or recycled candle jar
• Cardstock / Tag
• Dried Herbs / Sea Salt (Optional)
• Silicone Ice Tray / Cookie Cutters 
• Bamboon Spoons (I got mine here)

Directions:

• Combine dry ingredients in a bowl (baking soda, citric acid, cornstarch)
• Add in extra light olive oil; mix. Add essential oil.
• Combine water and a few drops of food coloring in a spray bottle.
• SLOWLY start to spray mixture into the bowl, mixing as you spray. If you add too much water, it will start to fizz and expand so do this step slowly.
• Keep adding water until it is a wet-sand-like consistently (Just wet enough that the sand will stick together.)
• Pack mixture into a silicone ice tray. If you want to make a perfect square-shape, use a butter knife to scrape across the top. 
• Let sit in the mold for about two minutes.
• Pop out of mold and let them dry overnight.

Yields:

  The measurements I used, with the tray size I used, makes between 50-60 small cubes which filled two large jars.
