How to make bath bombs

Wendy5704

Hi,
I have decided to have a go at bath bomb making but have no idea where to start. I have found loads of recipes online but not sure which are the best to use. I would prefer something easy to begin with but want them to look really pretty. Have looked for kits and bits on ebay but not found many. Can anyone help?
Thank you
Wend

Hiya, I made them for the first time last year. They are on my blog, Im not allowed to post my own links, so have a look at my homepage and you will find a very simple recipe.

Thanks for the reply. The recipe certainly looks easier than the ones I found online.

Hi, Sorry forgot to ask how many bath bombs does that recipe make?

I think 6 medium ones, but I cant honestly remember. I was just happily churning them out and then making up different flavours :rotfl:

Thanks. I think thats what i will do. I have bookmarked loads of things on Ebay to buy for them so could be another expensive hobby :rotfl:

Also should be last question but can i just get baking soda from the supermarket that would be used in cakes and normal cooking olive oil or does it have to be special stuff?

I would get you baking powder/soda online, as the ones in the shop tend to be small tubs.. best to buy in kg bags. Get a basic olive oil, I think I used Tescos as it didnt have a strong smell.
