I read one of the other blogs on this site on how to make bath bombs and now I’ve found this which is perfect for me. I love the hearts and I’m sure to create some for my friends.
Great idea! Love that they have baking soda. I teach art and some crafts to kids so I think we will try these for Mother's Day gifts. For molds for this project or others can often be found at Target in the $1.00 section. They typically have them in seasonal shapes and sometimes just misc. I've purchased stars, hearts, fruit shapes, etc. $1.00 is a great price for silicone molds/ice trays! You can also get them at Michaels in the candy/cake making aisle but they cost more of course. Then at Hobby Lobby in the same candy/cake but also some for much cheaper in the party supply section. Then, in the polymer clay aisle they have some small but more expensive silicone molds in more artsy designs. You can also use the plastic soap/candy molds for these instead of the silicone. Once you use them for crafts just don't use them for food!

I'm sure they will be fine Grace, I've kept my ones for a couple of months and they still worked fine. No one will eat them, so I guess leaving them for ages wont do any damage.
How do you know long bath bombs last? I just made some as christmas presents and thought if I put them in a air tight container they'll be ok til christmas right?
These look great and much easier to make than some of the recipes I´ve seen around. I should have no problem getting the ingredients, so I think I will make some as gifts for my sister whose birthday is in a week. Thanks!
interesting, replacing the citric acid with lemon juice...I did that the first time I made bath bombs, but as a mistake - I didn't know what citric acid was. The bath bombs didn't turn out. The basic recipe is 2 parts baking soda, 1 part citric acid. A couple sites I found helpful when I started: www.notmartha.org/tomake/bathbombs/ http://web.ncf.ca/aj471/BathBombs.html
Duh, I just read my question to see if you had replied and I see i put Baking Soda instead of Bicarbonate of Soda, that might have been interesting, must read what I type more often! Off to try the Bran muffins.
Hi, can you get Baking Soda in large enough quantities, I have only seen it for sale for cooking in small pots! Also could you add a packet of Koolaid to this instead of the colouring or would it all go very strange?
what's witch hazel and where can you buy it? do you have the amounts of all of the ingredients? anyways, sounds like a great idea! i can't wait to try it
Yowza, it's that easy? It also sounds very soothing. I like the idea that you can control the "perfumey-ness" level; I love the stuff from Lush but sometimes they overdo the scent department...

Didn't have witch hazel so I used tea tree oil... no idea why I did that, but it worked well enough.
Also dried it using my cooling down oven before I popped them out of the moulds.
Can't wait to test!
I think I'll be making these for Mothers day.
