Making DIY Easter bath bombs seems like it might be difficult or overwhelming but you can use plastic Easter eggs for bath bombs!  If you are like me you have a bunch of plastic Easter eggs lying around and they make the perfect Easter bath bomb mold.  Bath bombs from a store like Lush are very popular but you can make your own Easter egg-shaped bath bombs for so much cheaper.

I think these DIY colorful bath bombs would look super cute wrapped up in a favor bag and handed out as little Easter gifts for friends.

This Easter egg bath bomb recipe requires just a few simple ingredients and they are all available from Amazon if you want to save yourself a trip to the store. I linked to each ingredient to make it easy.

Easter Bath Bomb Ingredients

  • 4 oz Epsom salt
  • 8 oz baking soda
  • 8 oz corn starch
  • 4 oz citric acid
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil (liquified)
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 2 drops Kiwi Soap Colorant
  • 2 drops Forget Me Not Soap Colorant
  • 2 drops Lemon Soap Colorant
  • 2 drops Peach Soap Colorant
  • (Optional essential oil)

Supplies:

  • Large bowl
  • 4 small bowls
  • Whisk
  • 12-16 small plastic Easter eggs
  • Small jar with lid (or 4 so you don’t have to keep washing it between colors)
  • Measuring cups
  • Measuring spoons

How to Make Easter Egg Bath Bombs

mix bath bomb dry ingredients

 

Mix the dry ingredients first (Epsom salt, baking soda, cornstarch, and citric acid), using the whisk. Mix well to ensure there are no clumps.

Distribute evenly into 4 small bowls and if your coconut oil is not in liquid form, melt in the microwave for about 30 seconds.

Mix the wet ingredients in a jar, one color at a time. The measurements would be 1 ½ teaspoons coconut oil and ¾ teaspoon water, plus 2 drops of soap colorant. Secure with lid and shake well.

Very slowly add each color of liquid mixture to each bowl of dry mixture, about a few drops at  time, while whisking the entire time. If you’re not pouring slowly enough, the mixture will start to fizz and you don’t want that to happen, because then you will need to start over again with all new ingredients.

Once all of the liquid has been poured into the dry mixture, mix very well until the color is consistent.

fill plastic easter eggs with bath bomb mixture

Fill the molds with the mixture (see process photos for examples). In one half of the egg, use one color to fill halfway, then add another color, stuffing it firmly to fill that half of egg. Repeat this process with the other two colors, filling the other half of the egg.

Secure both parts of the plastic egg together and let set. I always give it about a day, just to be on the safe side. Next, carefully release the homemade bath bombs from eggs and put into an airtight container, or individual cello bags. The eggs can be tricky to open, so you can carefully and slowly use a butter knife to help open the gap between the two halves of the egg.
