• 1/2 cup cornstarch (cornflour)
• 1/2 cup Epson salt
• 1/2 cup citric acid

Directions to make your Christmas bath bombs

STEP 1: Gather your supplies

Before you get started, gather up all your ingredients and supplies. This will make the process of making your Christmas bath bombs so much easier!

STEP 2: Prepare Christmas tree mold 

To get started, prepare the Christmas tree mold by sprinkling 1 teaspoon of sprinkles into each Christmas tree mold and then set aside. 

STEP 3: Combine ingredients

Next, it's time to combine the ingredients! In a metal or glass mixing bowl, add the baking soda (bicarbonate of  soda) , citric acid, corn starch (cornflour), and epson salt. Whisk to combine.

In a separate small mixing bowl, add the water, coconut oil, essential oil, and soap colourant. Stir to combine.

Then, slowly add 1 tablespoon (at a time) of the liquid mixture to the dry ingredients and whisk each time in order to avoid to much bubbling and becoming activated. You want it to resemble damp sand and hold together when you clump it in your hands.

STEP 4: Fill the molds

Once you have the mixture ready, transfer it to each tree mold - only filling about 3/4 full so there is room for expansion. Press firmly into each one and allow it to dry overnight.

STEP 5: Finish up and gift your bath bombs

Now it's time to prepare these Christmas bath bombs for gifting! Pop them out of the mold and wrap them in cellophane and finish off with a cute Christmas ribbon. Store them in an airtight container until you are ready to gift them to your friends and family.

To use: fill your bathtub with warm or hot water and drop the Christmas bath bombs into the water and watch them dissolve! Enjoy a relaxing bath as wintergreen fills the air. The coconut oil will moisturize your skin while the epson salt and baking soda soothes tired muscles.

We hope you enjoyed making these Christmas bath bombs! They make great homemade gifts for friends and family, but don't forget to keep one for yourself too! They are soooooo relaxing in the bath. These are great if you want to make your own bath bomb to gift for the holidays.
