Here is my favourite bath bomb recipe that I've followed from instructables.com !
What you'll need: Dry ingredients: (By Weight, as measured on a scale.) Baking Soda - 8 ounces Citric Acid - 4 ounces Corn Starch - 4 ounces Salts - 4 ounces (dead sea salts or mineral salts) Wet Ingredients: Water - .75 tbsp Essential or Fragrance Oil - 2 tsp Oil - 2.5 tbsp (vegetable oil) Food coloring - 1 or 2 drops.
~Steps~ 1.) blend ยซ dry ยป ingredients together. Begin by putting all of your dry ingredients into a big bowl. Glass is best because it is non-reactive. Whisk or pestle all clumps out of mixture. You want a fairly smooth consistency throughout the entire mix. 2.) blend liquid and dry mixture together. Blend your wet ingredients together. Don't worry about separation too much, you are not going to get a full emulsion. Then, while whisking, slowly add small amounts of the liquid to your dry ingredients. NEXT STEPS ----->
~ Steps ~ 3.) Avoid creating volcanoes. If the mixture starts to foam, you are adding the liquid too fast. Quickly whisk the reacting ingredients into the nonreactive part and you should be able to stop the reaction. I add about a teaspoon at a time. When all of the wet ingredients have been added, you should have a mixture with the consistency of slightly damp sand. It should clump together when you squish and mold. 4.) Mold mixture ! :) Once your mixture is together, you have a pretty limited amount of time in which to mold. ---->
~ Steps ~ 4. (Part two) To mold mixture, theres a huge number of different shapes, molds and techniques to use, but what I prefer is to squish a handful (once again, optional) into a ball then gently roll between the palms of your hand, just using enough force to keep the ball from rolling out. But be creative! There is many more molds to use for this recipe such as the clear Christmas Ornament balls that u fill with goodies for stocking stuffers. You can also use cookie cutters! ----> final step.
~ Final Step ~ 5.) leave out to dry for about 4-6 hrs (i left mine out overnight to assure the mixture dried inside and out.) And there u are! Finished! (Finally) What a great recipe for wedding gifts, stocking stuffers, an activity for your kids or for a mommy spa - day! I hope u enjoyed!
