It is really important to get them properly mixed up.<\/p>\n<p>Add colouring and oil.<\/p>\n<p>Now, the tricky bit. Drip the water in, constantly mixing all the time \u2013 using your hands is fine! Keep mixing until the mixture squishes together like wet sand. If you add too much water too quickly the mixture will start to fizz.<\/p>\n<p>Pack the mixture into bath bomb moulds (use muffin trays, ice cube moulds etc).<\/p>\n<p>Leave them to dry for about 3-4 hours, then tap them out and there you have it \u2013 beautiful hand made bath bombs\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.livinghouse.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/bath-bomb-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-113\" title=\"bath bomb\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.livinghouse.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/bath-bomb-1-300x283.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"283\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So, another wet bank holiday weekend!
