Fizzy Bath Bombs Fail

Fizzy bath bombs 1

Not every craft project works out spectacularly. Failure is always a risk. That’s half the fun of crafting, I suppose. 

Leslie and I made attempted to make fizzy bath bombs the other night. We used this recipe that I found god knows where, but we played with it a bit. Ingredients: 

  • citric acid (Amazon Prime)
  • baking soda
  • corn starch
  • sugar
  • shea butter
  • almond oil
  • essential oils

The trick is to spritz the powder with water just until it sticks together and not until the fizziness starts to activate. Thought we did a pretty good job getting them into the molds:

But not so much, as we discovered when we tried to “pop” them out:

A few survived (see top). They look like relics from Pompei. But they smell good! Oh well.  You can’t win every Craft Wars battle. Onward and upward.
