BATH BOMBS

Steps:

• Mix together well a small amount of baking soda, food coloring and 10-20 drops of fragrance oil in a bowl.
• Add this mixture to the remaining baking soda, citric acid, and corn starch (and flower petals, if using).
• Mix well.
• Spritz the mixture with water while mixing with your hands.
• Keep spritzing and mixing until a handful, when squeezed, keeps its shape.
• DO NOT ADD TOO MUCH WATER.
• Press the mixture firmly into your mold (try plain 2" round chocolate molds).
• Do not use molds that are large, nor those that have intricate detail- they will break.
• Pop out of mold immediately (be careful not to break it.) Let it dry overnight.
• The bath bomb will grow slightly when drying.
• Store by wrapping individually, or store in a jar with a tight lid.
