Hey guys! In this episode of Cooking with Carson we are showing you how to make DIY Dollar Tree Bath Bombs! These are similar to the expensive bath bombs you can find at Lush and the more reasonably priced ones you can buy online from amorbathbombs.com, but Carson makes them for a fraction of the price using Dollar Tree supplies. How fun is this DIY for Halloween? We had so much fun making these. I think these would make great Christmas gifts, too. (Each bath bomb is less than $1!)
Lush Dupe Bath Bomb Recipe
Dollar Tree Molds and/or Dollar Tree Clear Christmas Ornaments
1/2 cup Dollar Tree Epsom Salt
1 cup Baking Soda
*1/2 cup Citric Acid (you can find at Walmart in the Ball canning section or here)
2-3 tsp. olive oil
1 tsp. water
Dollar Tree food coloring
15 drops essential oil (optional, especially if you have scented Epsom salt)
Mix dry ingredients until well incorporated. Mix wet ingredients and SLOWLY add to dry ingredients. Press firmly and compactly into molds and let dry overnight.
*Note: If you don’t have Citric Acid or want this to be a 100% Dollar Tree DIY, you can add 1/4 cup cream of tartar and 1/2 cup cornstarch in place of the citric acid. However, these will NOT have the same bath bomb fizz!

That is awesome. Easy recipe. I have been looking for this.
Fabulous can’t wait to try em I love carsons expressions when he is talking about his brother lol x
Thanks for showing how to use the Christmas ornament as a mold. I’ve made the fizzy tablets, but didn’t want to pay the $5+ for the bomb mold. Off to the Dollar Tree (as if I need an excuse)! Thanks again!
Enjoy your videos very much. And, Carson is such a hoot. He’s precious.
Genius againKatherine! I’m excited about these! Throwing a Halloween party and they’ll be perfect! I also LOVE the Christmas ornament idea for the mold! If they’re decent, I’d like to gift them! Hoping to see more DIY Christmas gift ideas soon! Getting ahead with that and as always, Dollar Tree finds are always welcome!
Great idea! I bought the molds also…am going to make these for my nephews and son 🙂 Carson is so adorable!!!
This is amazing! Will definitely cut down my bath bomb expenses!!
Love this. Saw them a bath and body works. Great for gift baskets. Can’t wait to try. Thanks
Katherine- I watched this video and am finally going to make these! If you have a Michaels by you, you should pick up some Plastic Snap Ball Ornament by ArtMinds, they are on sale for $0.64 right now!! Perfect bath bomb mold and easier than cutting a plastic one in half! Love your videos!
