4 teaspoons massage oil ( or 2 teaspoons essential oil and 2 teaspoons olive oil) Spray bottle with water mold (60 mm 2 part plastic ball) This amount only made 5 bath bombs. If I was making more I would buy the citric acid online in bulk. The small bottle you see pictured (1/2 cup) was $2.50. I purchased it from my local health food store. You can buy citric acid online for $2.25 per pound. BrambleBerry is offering all Skip to my Lou readers 10% off citric acid, use LOU10 at checkout to receive your discount!

Here is a quick little tutorial for making a zippered pouch with a lining. It isn’t that hard and I always feel like I have really accomplished something when I am finished —and they make great gifts! I was a mentor for one of the youth at our church. At Confirmation they are each given a different bible verse, special to them, to mark the occasion. I wanted to give my Confirmand (the sweetest girl) a gift with her bible verse so I decided to make a little zippered pouch with the bible verse sewn inside. I printed the verse onto printable fabric (purchased on a roll from Joann’s) and sewed onto the lining before stitching the pouch together. I also covered the lining pieces and the piece with the scripture with iron on vinyl before I sewed. I wanted her to be able to use it for make-up etc. Another bonus was that it doubled as the “gift bag” for this beautiful handmade cross . See less
