1/4 cup melted coconut oil

1/4 cup cornstarch

Therapeutic grade essential oil (peppermint or lavender scented)

Plastic Easter egg

How to make your own DIY Easter Bath Bombs

Mix together the baking soda, citric, acid and cornstarch.

Mix in a few drops of essential oil to your melted coconut oil.

Slow mix in a small amount of your coconut oil at a time so the mixture doesn’t fizz.

Use a 1/4 cup measuring cup and divide the bath bomb mixture into 3 bowls.

Add a few drops of each color colorant to each bowl, making each bowl a different color.

Wear plastic gloves and mix each bowl with your finger tips.

Open the eggs face and start filling with a little of each color.

Press the eggs together and carefully remove the egg bath bomb.

Set aside to dry overnight.

* Do not eat even though they are colorful and smelly.
