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?

Elle, you are so talented. It really does look like a donut. You could start selling these, but I do appreciate that you share the recipe with us.
ReplyDeleteThat is sooooo cute but dangerously similar to a doughnut and I might eat it instead. LOL!
