I am already thinking of teachers gifts for the Holidays. I have always wanted to try making bath bombs. I finally wrangled up all the ingredients* and followed the instructions on Instructables.
It couldn't have worked any better. I had no problems. It was very straight forward. The girls could do the measuring/pouring.
I tried two types of molds. Both worked beautifully. The bombs came out easily.
*Citric Acid was difficult to locate. I could not find it at my grocery store or pharmacy like recommended on line. I ended up finding it at a health food store. It was a bit pricey. One 4 oz. bottle was almost $6.00. You use the entire 4 oz. in the recipe. If you were more patient you could order it online I am sure for less.
Overall, a fun project! I definitely recommend it. We used grapefruit essential oil for our scent (make sure you get the kind meant for use on the body.) The house smells wonderful!

Those look great! We have that same IKEA mold - maybe I'll find the ingredients so we can make some =)
I was going to try these last year and could NOT find the citric acid. I went to a bunch of health-food stores as well as grocery and so forth. I'm glad you were able to find it. They turned out looking lovely.
