This month’s Buchheit Buddy project makes for the perfect Mother’s Day gift! Grab mom and head to Buchheit to get the following supplies you’ll need to make some bath bombs for mom.
Supplies
- ½ cup citric acid
- 1 cup baking soda
- 2 tsp shea butter
- Colored tablets (optional)
- 2 Grandma Bea’s essential oils
- 1 spray bottle with water
- Muffin pans
- Ziploc bags
Instructions
- Pour your citric acid in one large mixing bowl.
- Add the baking soda to the mixing bowl.
- Put the shea butter in the microwave for five seconds at a time until it is melted to a creamy consistency and add to your mixing bowl.
- Stir the mixture while adding 15-30 drops of essential oil.
- Stir your mixture, adding in the colored tablets (optional).
- If your mixture is still dry, spray with water until the mixture sticks together.
- Firmly pack the mixture into the muffin tin.
- Put your muffin tin into the refrigerator for 4-6 hours, or overnight for best results.
- Grab your muffin tin out of the refrigerator and pop out each bath bomb.
- Put each bath bomb into a small, sandwich-sized Ziploc baggie.
We decorated ours so we could give them out as gifts.
And that’s it! Get creative with your scents and bag decorations. We can’t wait to see what you come up with. Send pictures of your project in to the Photo Barn and it could be used in a future ad!
