Soap Making, Oils and Recipes
This soap making video tutorial shows you step by step how to make this adorable and fun soap.
This soap is bubblegum flavoured which is the perfect match for all the gum balls on top.
You will need to make the balls a week or so ahead of time but well worth the wait. The kids would love using this soap.
If your idea of Halloween fun includes a little bubbling, fizzing magic—without the sugar crash—these DIY Halloween Bath Bombs are your new favorite trick and treat. Think spooky swirls, candy-free gifts, and a little self-care potion-making, all rolled into one bewitching bath-time delight.
These are perfect for mums who’d rather stir up a bath bomb cauldron than bake another round of cupcakes for the class party. They also make fang-tastic gifts for teens, neighbours, or anyone who needs a little seasonal sparkle in their soak.
In a large mixing bowl, combine baking soda, citric acid, cornstarch, and Epsom salt. Whisk until it’s smooth and uniform—like a dusty spellbook.
In a small bowl, mix your carrier oil and essential oils. Add your chosen colorant and glitter here too. If using black, go light—it can stain tubs if overdone.
Slowly drizzle the wet mixture into the dry mix, whisking continuously. It should feel like damp sand. If it clumps when squeezed, you’re ready. Mist lightly with water or witch hazel if too dry.
Press a small plastic spider, glow cube, or toy into the center for a trick-or-treat effect!
Spoon the mixture into your molds, pressing firmly. Let them dry at least 24 hours before popping out.
Hide a plastic spider inside and use black mica for a creepy crawl effect.
Add a dash of cinnamon and orange essential oil with orange coloring.
Use glow mica and store under light for a fun bathroom glow!
Make ghost-shaped fizzies using a silicone mold and sweet vanilla oil.
Let’s be honest—October sugar overload is real. These bath bombs are a charming alternative that still feel like a treat. Plus, they turn your bathroom into a spa and a mad scientist lab.
Whether you’re making them for your kids’ school party, teen Halloween sleepovers, or your own pumpkin-scented peace and quiet after bedtime chaos, these DIY bath bombs are a crafty way to keep Halloween fun—and fizzy.
How does one make the gum balls please???
disappointing it doesn’t tell you how to make the gumballs. That’s what made the soap unique.
What are the contents in the mixture? How can we do this without information?
I’m hoping that’s bubblegum scented, not flavored?… this is such a cute idea though!!
The way I make my own embed/decorations with my CP soap is I make an uncolored loaf of soap for the dough. Keep it in the mold wrapped with plastic wrap for 3 days, unmold the soap, wrap that for 3 more days (the point being that it saponifies but the water doesn’t evaporate out of the soap so it stays soft). When that process is done, split up the loaf into how ever many colors you want, mix mica colors in and roll them into balls (or other shapes), just like clay! It’s fun – and when you’re all done, just wash your hands, cause it’s only soap!
I hope that helps! Look up Sorcery Soaps for her original soap dough ideas. She’s fantastic.
