Since fall is here and it’s apple picking season, we thought it would be fun to make some DIY green apple bath bombs to enjoy while soaking in a warm bath!! The green apple scent of these charming little apples is amazing and I love that they can be given as gifts too! After a few failed attempts when we first made bath bombs, we perfected the DIY bath bomb recipe and I’m sharing some tips I found helpful…
First, do not add more than 2 teaspoons water… even if you think it might be too dry and keeps its shape. It will eventually start fizzing in the mold, which you don’t want!
I found that these molds work the best!! They’re cheaper than the traditional bath molds too! And this citric acid works great.
Let the bath bombs dry for 24 hours and then carefully pull apart!
Stressing again, do not add more water… and follow the measurements perfectly below for successful bath bombs!!

October 24, 2017 at 5:50 pmHey Eden! I LOVED your bath bombs, but the link to get to the molds takes me to a glass Christmas ornament? Thanks!

October 26, 2017 at 12:32 pmHi Sammy!! Thank you so much for letting me know! That is so odd… okay here is the link http://amzn.to/2zRNwl4 we used plastic clear ornaments that open in half. I found that they worked the best. These bath bombs can be so temperamental, haha! But after trying SO many times I feel like we got a pretty good recipe. Just follow closely, haha!
