Paying up to $15 dollars for a bath bomb (thank you, Lush 😉 is just not in my budget. I’ve made them at home before, but sometimes have to admit the final result fell short and I went back to Lush to buy some of my favorite glittery, pretty, impressively amazing fizzy bath bombs. Last week, though, my friends and I decided to try making bath bombs at home again. We scoured Pinterest to find some cool new recipes and found plenty to try out.

We these 34 best bath bomb ideas, and made some of the cutest things ever. Check out the easy to follow step by step tutorials to learn how to make these cool little bath bombs. Make a few for yourself and make another batch to keep on hand for easy last minute DIY gift ideas.

Since I lover experiments, I’ve alwaysnloved to create, paint, as well as cook and style food. I feel in love with DIY as soon as I discovered it and could not have been more excited when I learned I could share projects with people around the world. Taking photos is a passion of mine, as is design and painting with oils. I love holidays and celebrations, crafting cute little gifts and serving up at least one new recipe I am excited about.
