It depends on size of molds but this homemade bath bombs recipe makes about 6 half circle bath bombs or 3 snap together dome molds.
Step By Step Instructions For DIY Bath Bombs
Combine all ingredients except for water in a large bowl until mixture is crumbly and well mixed.
Lightly spray your mixture with water, stirring constantly with your hands just until it holds shape when squeezed tightly. Water must be added very slowly to avoid over-wetting it, if your mixture gets too wet it will set off the reaction and begin fizzing.
To make homemade bath bombs, press mixture into mold firmly, using the back of a spoon to firmly tamp it down. Silicone molds are the easiest to use for removal and clean up but you can use any mold you have on hand or even a small paper cup. If you want a ball shaped bath bomb, you should use snap together dome molds.
Allow to dry for several hours or overnight.
Gently remove your homemade bath bombs from the mold and place them in a jar with a tight fitting lid, keep them dry until ready to use. It is as easy as that!
How To Use Fizzing Bath Bombs:
Drop 1 or 2 bath bombs, depending on the size mold you used, into a warm bath and enjoy the fizz and scents. Soak for 20 minutes at least to get the most benefit.
