A great kid made Christmas Ornament Bath Bomb that they will love gifting this season.
Add all of the dry ingredients to a large bowl, baking soda, citric acid, cream of tartar, SLSA, and cornstarch. Mix the ingredients together.
In a smaller mixing bowl add your coconut oil and melt in the microwave for 10 to 20 seconds until it is liquid. Add polysorbate 80 and nutmeg scented oil. Mix.
Now add the oil mixture to the dry mixture. Blend the ingredients together. This is easiest to do with your hands. Use disposable gloves to protect your hands as needed. You will know when the mixture is perfect when it feels like wet sand and you can press the mixture together in your hands and it stays together.
Separate your mixture into 5 bowls. To one bowl, add 1-2 drops of your red coloring and mix (you are adding a liquid, so be cautious and careful so you don’t cause a big reaction). Continue to add 1 drop of the coloring and mixing well until you get the shade of red you want. Add your red glitter and mix everything together.
Repeat with green in another bowl, then silver, and finally gold in the final bowl. Leave one bowl white (you can add some glitter if you wish to your white mix).
Take one of your plastic ornaments and separate the sides. Fill each side in any pattern you like with your coloured mixtures. Once each side is filled, add a bit of extra mixture to each side and press them together. You will need to use a grinding motion until the sides fit together.
Once they are all packed, set your ornaments somewhere warm and dry to set. This can take anywhere from 24 to 48 hours. Once dry you can open your ornament casing and use your bath bomb. Of course if you are gifting or hanging your ornaments, they just stay in their casings as long as you need.
