How to mix
Put all the dry ingredients into a bowl and mix.
In a seperate bowl mix the oil, essential oil and water.
Quickly add the liquid to the dry ingredients and mix well
Slowly add the colouring. Do it a few drops at a time.
You can then knead the mixture with your hands.
If it is too dry add a few drops of water in very small increments.
Once it is all mixed and starting to clump together fill the molds
Make sure you compact the mixture into the molds so that the bombs do not fall apart.
Leave to dry for about 24 hours. Then pop your bath bombs out of the molds and store them in a suitable container.
Why not try using muffin cases for your molds. There are so many choices.
Once you have perfected your bath bombs you could make them as gifts for friends and family.
