Well, it has been a hot minute since I shared a DIY that “bombed.”
Recently my BFF and I decided that we were going to make our own bath bombs. We gathered ingredients like Epson salt, essential oils, citric acid, and corn starch based off of a recipe we found online. We also wanted them to be pretty so in addition to ordering the molds to make them in, we ordered edible glitter (because you need to make sure that ish dissolves correctly) and dried flowers.
We mixed and smelled and put the concoction into the molds to sit overnight. The next day we checked them and they had not formed into balls. Womp womp. Instead they were glorified bath salts.
I think we mixed them incorrectly and honestly, I can be a little lenient when it comes to measuring. I guess that isn’t really acceptable when it comes to bath bombs.
All hope wasn’t lost though, the balls of salts actually made a wonderful bath and the floating petals made it oh so luxurious.
All this to say, when making bath bombs, follow directions ;)!
Oh my gosh these are so cute! I love bath bombs, I should try making my own!
I love bath bombs and how cool would this be to make your own! Love it!
I’ve never tried making bath bombs before but this tutorial makes it looks so simple and easy I think I may need to DIY my own! I love the way yours turned out!
So cute! I’ve always wanted to make my own bath bombs, but somehow I always end up back at LUSH, haha!
Aw, how neat! I’ve never tried to make my own bath bombs. I’ll keep your tips in mind if I ever do!
This is such a great idea! I always spend too much money on bath bombs at Lush!

Making a bath bomb sounds fun but also looks like it would be a bit tricky. At least the bath still sounded nice even if the bath bomb didn’t turn out quite like you hoped.
Love this! I’ve always wanted to try to make my own bath bombs!

What a neat DIY! Even if it didn’t turn out the way that you expected, at least they were functional! I love that you thought to use edible glitter.
