One of my favorite activities in a winter evening is taking a bath. I just wish I had more time for it! I feel like it’s a pretty rare occasion around here with two little kids. If you are lucky enough to enjoy a bath every once in awhile, do you use bath bombs? Today I’m sharing how to make your own heart bath bombs! These are actually really easy to make and will save you money over buying the expensive store brand.
Note – these bath bombs are a treat for an adult bath! They should be made and used by adults only.
These bath bombs are made to mold into little hearts. But you could actually make these and mold them into any shape! I even saw on Facebook someone used the inside of a Christmas ornament to form the shape of a sphere bath bomb! Now that is creative! But if you search Michaels or even on Amazon there are all kinds of molding trays you can use. You can find the heart molding tray or even go for a star mold or circle mold.
How to Make Heart Bath Bombs
Making these heart bath bombs is actually really easy! Here is what you’ll need:
- Heart mold
- 1/4 cup citric acid
- 1/4 cup baking soda
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
- Pink food dye (optional if you want to have a colored bath bomb)
- 3 drops therapeutic grade lavender (optional)
Note: these bath bombs are made with basic ingredients found in most bath bomb recipes. However, if you notice any skin irritation, discontinue use immediately. Adults only should make the bath bombs.
Directions to Make Your Heart Bath Bombs
1. In a large bowl, combine your citric acid, baking soda, and cornstarch then mix well.
2. In a separate bowl, add a couple of drops of pink food coloring and 3 drops essential oil to your coconut oil and mix
3. Then slowly add your wet mix to the dry mixture and mix well until you’ve added it all
4. Once all of your wet mixture is added, your mixture should feel like damp moldable sand
5. Start filling your heart mold with your mixture, making sure to press the mixture firmly into the molds
6. Let dry overnight and carefully pop them out
7. Place one in the bottom of your shower or in your warm bath tub to release your bath bomb
There you go! Aren’t they so pretty? Â When you plop these little guys into the bath that fizzing action is amazing! It’s my favorite part. Have you made your own bath bombs before?
