| Citric acid is one of the main ingredients for bath fizzies or bath bombs.
Follow these easy instructions to make your own:
Ingredients
list:
Place the citric acid and baking soda in a bowl and blend together very well.
You may want to wear a mask at this stage -- these are both fine white powders
and you shouldn't breath the dust! Blend really well or your bath fizzy will be
grainy. Once they are blended well, add your colorant. A small amount will go a
long way, don't add too much or it can stain the bath tub or worse yet, your
skin! Add in your skin safe fragrance oil, mixing well as you add it. Again,
don't add too much. A teaspoon is generally enough, but it will depend on your
personal scenting preferences. Once you have everything blended, it is time to
start spritzing the mixture with your Witch Hazel spray bottle. Mix quickly
while spraying the surface until the mixture sticks together when you "squish"
it. As soon as it gets to this point, start pressing it into your molds. Press
firmly, and pack tightly so your fizzies are dense and durable. Wait until the
surface feels dry and gently tap them out of the mold. Let sit for several
hours on waxed paper while they air dry. Package up.
Tips:
For children, try using the Molds
for Kids. Some shapes maybe a little hard to get the mixture out of, but
kids love them!
To get perfect little balls, use a meat baller. Meat ballers look like tongs
with cups at the end and are available at Walmart and most kitchen stores for
very little cost.
If your fizzies are crumbling and falling apart, you did not add enough witch
hazel, reblend and try again, packing firmly.
There are many, many recipes out there for bath fizzies. Be creative and have
fun!
