Shimmering DIY Bath Fizzies
I must be stuck on having a spa day really soon. Things have been so stressful lately, that I know I really need to plan one.
Recently I wrote about my Coconut Body Scrub and Aromatic Bath Salts because a spa day has been on my mind so much.
Now I have these beauties for you! What girl doesn’t love diy bath fizzies?
Just imagine leaning back in the tub and dropping a couple of these babies in and listening to the soft fizzle while it releases your favorite fragrance.
I can imagine it right now! And the best thing is that they are shimmery. Enjoy!
DIY Bath Fizzies Supplies
- 1 Cup Cornstarch
- 1 Cup Baking Soda
- ½ Cup Citric Acid
- ¼ Cup Scented Shimmering Body Lotion
- 5-6 Drops Food Color (I used 4 Yellow Drops and 2 Blue Drops)
- Spray Bottle
- Seashell Soap or Candy Mold (I used the Wilton Seashell Candy Mold
Directions
In a large bowl, mix cornstarch, baking soda, and citric acid.
Fill spray bottle half-way with water. Add lotion and food color to spray bottle.
Shake well.
*Optional: You may add 2-3 drops of essential oil at this step for more fragrance.*
Spritz cornstarch mixture with water.
Add water slowly while mixing with your hands.
Continue mixing and spraying until it holds its shape when squeezed in your hand.
Firmly press mixture into mold cavities.
Remove as many air bubbles as possible.
Let mixture dry for 2-3 hours before removing from molds.
Store in airtight container.

Oh love the bath fizzies. Got to try them. Where did you find the seashell candy mold? I have just rededorated my bathroom in a seashell motif. They would be perfect. Thanks for sharing. Maureen
Hi, Maureen! I found the mold at Michael’s. It’s a candy mold and it worked great! They slid right out.
I love these and never thought of making my own. Where do you find the citric acid?
Hi, Ellen! I found the citric acid at Wal-Mart in the canning section.
These are just sparkly goodness! I’ve never tried to make them, but they don’t look anywhere near as difficult as I imagined…
Gwen, they are super easy! I hope you enjoy them!
I love these! I can’t wait to make some for myself. Nothing I love more than a little bit of pampering of myself.
Shel, these are great! You will enjoy them!
