The past few days, I have been working on making bath fizzies to give for Christmas, along with other homemade bath and body products – soap, lotion, and lip balm.
The Soap Queen has a great tutorial (part one, part two). Here is another method from Martha Stewart.
I used the Soap Queen method, except I used water instead of witch hazel because I forgot to buy witch hazel. I used a 1/4 measuring cup as my tablet-shaped mold.
I mixed a big batch of fizzie base – 1 lb citric acid and 2 lb baking soda.
Then I scooped out smaller portions to fragrance and color. Here is the plumeria, which I colored with rose mica.
These are scented with Oatmeal, Milk, and Honey fragrance and colored with light gold mica.
And here is the final packaging for the Plumeria fizzies.
These I will put together with the Plumeria soap and candle I already made, along with some lotion, in the gift basket I am making.
I still have a few more fragrance/color combinations to do, including lavender, to which I will also add some dried lavender.
