DIY Birthday Cake Sprinkle Bath Bombs

May 18, 2019 by Shellie Wilson Leave a Comment

 

Cotton Candy Bath Bomb Recipe
Supplies:
1 cup baking soda
1/2 cup citric acid (It’s better to buy in bulk on Amazon)
1/2 cup SLSA (Sodium Laurel Sulfoacetate) (Find it on Amazon)
1/4 cup cream of tartar
1/4 cup coconut oil
2 tablespoons rubbing alcohol
10 drops  Vanilla cake scent 
Light blue mica powder (Find it on Amazon)
Spray bottle of rubbing alcohol
Rainbow nonpareils or sprinkles
1 large mixing bowl
Bath bomb molds (I recommend these you can find on Amazon)

 

 

Directions:
Steps 1-4: Add dry ingredients to a large bowl.


Step 5: Sift or whisk dry ingredients.


Step 6: Add mica powder


Step 7: Using your hands, break down any lumps in the dry mixture while incorporating the mica into the dry
ingredients.

Step 8: Add lavender essential oil


Steps 9-10: In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt coconut oil in the microwave for 25-30 seconds. Add cotton candy scent to
oil.
Step 11: Add liquid to dry mixture, 1 tablespoon at a time.


Step 12: Whisk liquid or use your hands to incorporate into dry mixture.

Step 13: If mixture is still too dry, spray rubbing alcohol a bit at a time and incorporate into dry mixture using your
hands.


Step 14: You will know when the mixture is perfect when it feels like wet sand and you can press the mixture together in
your hands and it stays together. **Please note** You may need to use your spray bottle of rubbing alcohol to spritz
your mixture if it gets too dry as you are adding it to your mold. Give a few spritzes and mix together until it has that wet
sand feel again.

Step 15: If you like, add a bit of sprinkles to the bath bomb mixture. Totally optional.

Step 16: Add a bit of sprinkles to bath bomb.


Step 17: Add bath bomb mixture into both sides of mold. Be sure to overfill on each side.


Step 18: Firmly press molds together. Gently tap top and sides of mold and release bath bomb. Allow to dry overnight.

DIY Christmas Cherry Body Scrub

If you love simple handmade gifts that still feel festive and special, this DIY Christmas Cherry Body Scrub from CraftBits is such a fun little project. It is bright, pretty, and has that sweet cherry scent that makes it feel perfect for Christmas gifting.

What I like about this tutorial is how easy it is to pull together. The scrub uses granulated sugar, sweet almond oil or another carrier oil, red cherry fragrance oil, and a touch of mica powder for color, so it feels like one of those projects you can make quickly but still package up beautifully.

It is the kind of bath and body recipe that works really well for teacher gifts, stocking stuffers, hostess gifts, or just a little festive treat for yourself. The pretty pink-red color and cherry fragrance give it a cheerful Christmas feel without needing anything too complicated.

The tutorial itself is wonderfully straightforward too. You simply combine the ingredients well and store the finished scrub in an airtight container, which makes this a lovely beginner-friendly project for holiday crafting.

If you are looking for a quick Christmas body scrub recipe that feels handmade, giftable, and easy to recreate, this one is a sweet little pick.
