DIY Donut Bath Bombs With Sprinkles


I wanted to share a cute idea that makes me think of Valentine's Day, but it's adorable anytime of year. And y'all already know I love to make DIY beauty that looks like food. Get ready to get all pinked up with these adorable DIY Donut Bath Bombs (With Sprinkles and More):







Ingredients:

  • bath bomb mold (I got mine at Hobby Lobby
  • 1 c baking soda
  • 1/2 c cornstarch
  • 1/2 c citric acid (online, canning section, health food stores)
  • 2 tsp water
  • pink soap colorant or food coloring (I used neon food gel)
  • favorite essential oil + 4 tsp coconut oil or oil of choice (optional)
  • for decoration: candy sprinkles and meringue recipe




Instructions:

Mix all dry ingredients in one bowl. In another bowl, mix the water and coloring (and oils if doing that). 

Very carefully add a few drops at a time of the colored water to the dry ingredients and mix. Be patient with this step because the mix will begin to bubble if you add too much at a time. It should look as pictured above. 


Allow to dry for an hour. Package or display. These keep for around a year.



FOR SPRINKLES:

Place candy sprinkles in bottom of donut mold. Then add the mixture on top. Allow to dry.

OTHER IDEAS:




I used this recipe for the meringue and placed it on top of the mixture. I then baked it. But for this, I didn't bake it so I could add the sprinkles.

How cute are these?
Do you make Valentine's Day crafts?
