Step 21

21. This recipe is best prepared in non-humid climates.

Step 22

22. Prior to starting, clean your work area and all of your packaging materials. It is suggested that you wear gloves, protective clothing, and a hair net while preparing this recipe. In addition, prepare a spray bottle filled with witch hazel.

Step 23

23. Step 1: Prepare the White Portion: We will start by preparing our dry ingredients. In the first mixing bowl, add your citric acid and baking soda. Use your hands to mix the ingredients, breaking up any clumps as you mix.

Step 24

24. Step 2: Prepare the wet ingredients for the white portion. Mix 8 grams of Holly Berry Fragrance Oil and 9 grams of safflower oil. Use your hands to mix the ingredients together. Set this bowl aside while we prepare the red portion.

Step 25

25. Step 3: Prepare the Red Portion: Prepare the dry ingredients first. Weigh out the citric acid and baking soda for the red portion. Use your hands to break up any clumps you may find.

Step 26

26. Step 4: Now, in a small bowl, weigh out your safflower oil, Holly Berry Fragrance Oil, and the tomato red FUN Soap Colorant that is need for the red portion. Add this to your dry ingredients and use your hands to mix the bath bomb mixture.

Step 27

27. Step 5: Prepare Your Molds: One half of each mold will need a holly berry. We will use your holly berry sprinkles for this. You will use three berries and three leaves for each sphere mold. Place them in one half of each mold, arranged to look like a holly berry.

Step 28

28. Step 6: Next, slowly spray your white bath bomb mixture with witch hazel, mix mixture, and continue misting the mixture until it feels like crumbly dough in your hands. Be careful not to spray the mixture too much. Over spraying the mixture will cause the bath bomb ingredients to activate and your bath bomb will not stay together.

Step 29

29. Step 7: Press your white bath bomb mixture into each half of your fillable ornaments that contain the holly berries and press firmly.

Step 30

30. Step 8: Then, fill the second half of your ornament with the red bath fizzy mixture. Spray each half lightly with witch hazel and press the two halves together. Continue filling your molds until you have used all of the mixture.

Step 31

31. Step 9: Once the bath bombs have setup, remove them from the molds.

Step 32

32. Use your holly berry bath bombs in the bathtub. They will create all kinds of bubbly fizzy fun!!
