Directions to Delight
Step 1 – Mix the Bath Bomb Base
Begin by melting the shea butter in a small microwaveable bowl for about 2 minutes on high power, or until fully melted, pausing to stir halfway through. Allow it to cool slightly afterward. Blend the liquid colorant with the isopropyl alcohol. Combine the shea butter and isopropyl alcohol mixture with the bath bomb base in a large mixing bowl. Thoroughly mix using your hands, checking the consistency; it should clump distinctly when squeezed. If it appears too crumbly, a few drops of isopropyl alcohol can be added to perfect the texture.
Step 2 – Mold the Bath Bombs
Press some mixture into one half of your plastic bath bomb mold, adding a bit extra at the center for a rounded effect. Clean any excess off the mold edges. Ensure you match each mold half correctly! Firmly press the two halves together, aligning the eyelets. Continue with the remaining molds.
Step 3 – Finish with Flair
Let the bath bombs rest on a countertop for two hours. You can unsnap the covers and tidy the edges with a paper towel for a neater presentation, though this step is optional. Once dry, either remove from the molds or close them and thread a ribbon through the holes in each mold. Display on your tree and enjoy! Remind your recipients that these bath bomb ornaments are best used within a couple of months to ensure freshness—they won’t last until next Christmas!
