How to Make Bath Bombs (+Easy Recipe)
Today we’re going back to basics and will talk about how to make bath bombs easy. Making homemade bath bombs is fun, easy and you can really get creative with it.
My kids absolutely love bath bombs and they make for really nice homemade gifts. To me it is so much fun to see the bath bomb fizzing away in the tub. It simply gives your bath time this special sparkle and excitement while at the same time delivering gorgeous scents and skin loving goodies. What’s not to like?
…Easy Snowman Bath Bomb DIY (+Cute Packaging Idea)
These cute snowman bath bomb sets are the perfect small handmade Christmas gift for everybody on your list: neighbors, coworkers, family and friends. They’re easy and fun to make, smell delightful and come with an adorable packaging idea that’s part of the snowman design.
I have no idea how it’s December already, this year it totally snuck up on me. And it really hasn’t felt very winter-y around here until recently. But, now that we’ve been snowed in for a couple of days, holiday season is officially upon us. And what better way to ring in the winter season than by building snowmen in the yard with your kids? So much fun and it gave me the wonderful idea to make snowman bath bombs 😉
What I wanted was not only to have the snowman face, but the entire snowman just like you would build in real life with three parts, buttons and a scarf – the whole shebang. I’m very happy with the way these came out. Not only do they look adorable, but they are also perfect as a gift. The packaging ties it all together into a little bundle of holiday cheer.
…DIY Christmas Cupcake Bath Bombs – 2 Holiday Designs
Handmade gifts are always a big hit for Christmas. There’s something special about them. The thought, the time and love that goes into making them really let’s the recipient know you care.
Last year I made these adorable Santa Bath Bombs and folks loved them. So, for this year I wanted to make some sort of Christmas themed bath bombs again, but with a little twist, moving away from the traditional sphere shape. A couple of months ago I came across these super cute and, best of all, pretty fool proof cupcake bath bomb molds and knew I had to use them this Holiday season.
The result: Adorable Christmas cupcake bath bombs that look festive, are easy to make and nourishing for your skin. One design is reminiscent of a peppermint candy cane and the other of a Christmas tree. Once you’ve got your ingredients together you can easily make either one of the designs. As for the scent I’ve chosen essential oils that go with each theme, but feel free to use your own favorite essential oil or blend.
…Soothing Lavender & Oatmeal Cupcake Bath Bomb DIY
I’ve always wanted to make cupcake bath bombs. Don’t they look amazing? But the problem until now was that in order to make a cupcake bath bomb you had to make the base first out of your usual bath bomb mix and then whip up the material for the piping separately. The piping often required ingredients that I either didn’t have on hand – like meringue powder – or that I didn’t want to have in my bath water – like powdered sugar. So, I never actually made bath bomb cupcakes until I saw this mold 🙂
…Lime Coconut Milk Bath Bombs
Right around this time of year I totally start to sound like a broken record. It goes something like this:”I really don’t like winter. I’m cold. Everything looks so gray. I need some sun. Why do we even live here?”… And on, and on it goes. And every year as my tolerance to the cold and gray seems to diminish so does my skin’s tolerance to dry air and extreme temperature swings – arrgh, the itch is real, you guys.
How to Make Santa Bath Bombs
We usually don’t send family Christmas cards around to our friends and relatives. The sheer thought of it is paralyzing to me. Maybe it’s because Christmas cards were never a thing where I grew up or maybe it’s because Mister Tinker could care less. And then there’s the logistics of it: Am I supposed to have my mantle decorated in mid November so that I can pose the kids in front of it? Because let’s face it – it will take me at least a month to design, order and mail them. And then there is the photo shoot itself. I don’t have the worst photography skills, but trying to photograph my kids is equivalent to photographing wildlife. You have to be sneaky, you have to be quick, and forget it if they know you’re lurking there with your camera.
…Easy Unicorn Bath Bombs DIY
Finally the unicorn craze has reached Tweak & Tinker HQ. Better late than never. And let me tell you it has hit hard. These days all I seem to be able to come up with are unicorn-y designs. These super adorable unicorn bath bombs are just the beginning (muhahaha).
…Cute Dinosaur Bath Bombs aka “Dino Bombs”
Big, elaborate projects can be fun and rewarding. Like the one time I made Blossom Soap Macarons , a project that took a lot of time and practice. Lately I’ve been in the mood for short and sweet projects. Things that don’t require a ton of ingredients or equipment and still come out awesome, of course. These little dinosaur bath bombs (technically bath fizzies) check all the boxes and they’re so cute I can’t even….
How to Make Halloween Jack-o’-Lantern Bath Bombs
I didn’t grow up celebrating Halloween, but after moving to the U.S. and especially after having kids, Halloween has become a major holiday in our household. This year we started pestering our 4-year-old in the middle of August about what he wanted his costume to be. He just gave us this sideways look and said: “uh, no idea.”
Around this time of year I also always find myself coming up with a bunch of crafty projects. In recent year’s I’ve made papier mache trick-or-treat baskets matching the kid’s costumes – Fun! I’ve also toyed with the idea of somehow sewing their costumes myself, but at this point in my life it would probably only lead to a lot of frustration and grumpiness on my part.
But what I definitely wanted to do this year was to come up with a fun Halloween inspired project for you to make. And, here it is: Jack-o’-Lantern Bath Bombs 🙂
These will be sure to delight your kids, and maybe they’ll even want to make some themselves.
