DIY Floral Bath Bombs
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup baking soda
- 1/4 cup citric acid
- 1/4 cup Epsom salt (regular or scented)
- 2 tbsp corn starch
- 12-15 drops fragrance or essential oil (I used rose)
- 1-1 1/2 tsp olive oil or vegetable oil
- Silicone flower mold
- Dried flowers (optional, I used rose)
- Food colouring (1-2 drops, optional)
How to:
- Incorporate all dry ingredients into a bowl and whisk to combine (add dried flowers if desired)
- A little at a time, mix the liquid ingredients into the dry ones with a whisk. You’ll know you’ve reached the right consistency when the mixture barely holds together (kind of like making a sandcastle)
- Press the mixture into the silicone mould with your fingers and/or the back of a spoon. It should be packed tightly
- Set aside to dry out for at least two hours and check occasionally. They are ready to remove when you can press on them without any give
- Once dry, carefully remove from the mould
- Wrap in cute bags as gifts or drop one into a bath and let it fizz!
