Bomb for a bath for the Day of Lovers

The bomb for the bath will make the ritual of a festive joint bath taking much more interesting. Multicolored fragrant bombs fun bubble and hiss, filling the water with your favorite scent.

A bomb for a bath can also become a "container" of a pleasant surprise gift for your second half. For manufacturing, you can to put in it a bag with a nice bauble - when the bomb for the bath dissolves, the loved one can "fetch" his gift from the bath.

The bomb for the bathroom is quite realistic to do with our own hands - we'll tell you how. First we will prepare the necessary ingredients:

• 8 tablespoons baking soda


• 4 tablespoons citric acid


• 2 tablespoons Potato or cornstarch / milk powder


• 1 tbsp. Base oil (almond, olive, sea-buckthorn, etc.)


• a few drops of essential oil - if desired


• various fillers (ground sea salt, flower petals, crushed grass, coconut shaving) - if desired

In addition, we will need rubber gloves, mortar or coffee grinder and a variety of silicone or plastic molds. Gloves are needed for the citric acidand soda did not react with water - if your hands sweat, the ingredients "zashipyat" ahead of time. For the same reason, it is necessary to protect the ingredients from water.

The bomb for the bathroom is done as follows. First we shove the soda and break the seals, if any. Citric acid, too, thoroughly grind in a mortar or coffee grinder and mix all the ingredients. If you add fillers to the bath bomb, they should be well ground, otherwise the bomb for the bath will stick together badly.

We try to squeeze in the fist a little of the mixture obtained - it should hold tightly until the fist is compressed, and it is easy to crumble when we unclasp it. If the mixture turned out too loose, add 0.5 tbsp. Base oil and again thoroughly mix.

Ready mix densely we compact in the prepared forms and we put them in a dry place (if the room is wet, then the surfacethe future bomb will begin to bubble). After an hour, carefully take out the bombs from the molds and let them lie in a dry place for a day. To make the bomb for the bath easily out of shape, you need to lightly press on the form, knock it on the table.

Looks very nice multi-colored bomb for the bathroom. You can make it striped or spotted, and a great gift for Valentine's Day will be a bathroom bomb with painted hearts or other images.

To obtain spotted or striped bombs, divide the mass into two parts and color it in different colors (for example, food coloring). A mass of two colors is stacked in the form alternately - exactly or in random order. Can draw a drawing on ready dried bombs with the help ofstencil, brush and alcohol dye. Another option is to make a small bomb of one color and put it on the bottom of the shape with a bomb of a different color and larger size. You can cover the bottom of the mold with ground coffee, beads, sparkles, sea salt, dried herbs, etc.

A fragrant bath bomb, made by own hands, is a wonderful gift for Valentine's Day for a loved one! Also, enjoy it you both. If the bomb for a bath seems to you too modest gift, add to it also handmade soap.
