Dollar Tree DIY Bath Bombs!

by doitonadime Filed Under: DIY Projects, Dollar Tree, Holiday, Recipes

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!

    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!

    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!
