Amazon - \r Link for smaller mold, approximately 2.1 inches in diameter.\r Amazon - \r \r Plastic Christmas Ball Ornament - Also, most craft stores carry these around the holidaysc \r \r Citric Acid - \r Check your local grocery store next to the canning supplies. Health food stores also carry citric acid. \r Amazon - \r \r For Bulk Citric Acid - \r Wholesale Supplies Plus (I like that they have a flat rate $5 handling fee on orders $40 or more)\r \r Also, saveoncitric.com\r \r \r Bath Bomb Colorants - \r Celestial Colors - \r Other things you can use to color your bath bombs - \r Lake dyes - these are skin-safe and come in a powdered form. Mix with rubbing alcohol when mixing your liquid ingredients. A little goes a long way! \r Wholesale Supplies Plus - \r Mica - use sparingly or they will create a dark colored ring around your tub! - My favorites include. \r Mad Oils Micas - \r Nurture Soap Micas - \r Food Coloring - Mix with liquid ingredients. Gel food coloring also works well. And no, these wont dye your skin as long as you dont go crazy and add the entire container :) \r \r \r \r Fragrance Oils - My favorite companies - \r Nurture Soap Supplies - \r Brambleberry - \r Mad Oils - \r Wholesale Supplies Plus - \r \r Cream of Tartar - can be purchased at your local grocery store, however, I find it is cheaper to purchase it through a soap supply store. \r I purchase mine from Penzeys Spices - \r \r Thank you for watching!
