I have definitely been on a bath bomb kick whether I'm getting them for myself or as gifts. I'm so excited to save some money and just start making them!

Wow. this Fizzy Bath Bomb will make some wonderful gifts for birthdays. moms to be, or even Christmas put in a real pretty basket to put in the bathroom or even to keep in the guest bathrooms for when they visit. I love that it all natural and you can use your choice of oil and smell and shapes. I do not think I will use the food coloring though. Such a great video for how too. Great idea.

I love bath bombs! Didn't realize how easy they were to make. I'll be giving these a try soon and if mine turn out as pretty as the ones in the photo, I'll definitely make some as gifts!

#NationalCraftMonth2017 I love bath bombs and use them in my shower for a smell while washing. I just place one in the soap dish and when some moisture gets on it, the smell comes out and doesn't make a mess. My favorite scent is daffodil.

I saw someone make these in a youtube video, but this recipe seems so much easier and with no red coloring, no red ring around the tub. #NationalCraftMonth2017

I made small ones and gave them as gifts to use in the shower. I use essential oils for the aromas.

As someone who is a HUGE fan of taking baths, it only makes sense that these easy bath bombs are my favorite DIY kind. I use lavender oil in mine. )

the hashtag #NationalCraftMonth2017 This was interesting. I wonder how relaxing it would be in the shower. How nice to have the recipe in writing as well for those of us without perfect recall memory after watching halting video one time (or even 5).Thank you.
