To prepare the Kerr quart size mason jar, spray paint the lid with metallic gold spray paint. Then, paint the bottom of the jar and up the sides about half an inch, on the inside of the jar, with Mod Podge and sprinkle with gold glitter.

rainbow bath bombs and bath bomb mold

 
Unicorn Bath Bombs Recipe
Recipe type: Bath and Body
Makes: 3 small bath bombs
 
Ingredients:
Instructions:
  1. First, mix together the first five ingredients.
  2. Melt the coconut oil in the microwave. Stir in fragrance oil and water. (The amount of water needed will depend on the humidity of your house.)
  3. Pour the coconut oil mixture over the dry ingredients and stir with a whisk. The mixture should start clumping on the whisk.
  4. Scoop up some of the mixture and squeeze it in your hand to see if a ball will form. If it does, the bath bomb mixture is ready. If not, spritz the mixture lightly with water, whisk and check again. Continue spritzing and mixing until the mixture is slightly damp and will clump together. Again, this will vary depending on your climate.
  5. Divide the mixture into four bowls. Color the mixture in three of the bowls with a tiny dab food coloring.
  6. Sprinkle some edible glitter stars in each of the two halves of the bath bomb mold.
  7. Spoon some of each color of the bath bomb mixture into each half of the mold and pack it in with your fingers. Add more of the bath bomb mixture, overfilling it and lightly pack with fingers. Then, tightly press the two halves together.
  8. Carefully remove the mold from the bath bomb. Gently tap the mold if needed.
  9. Repeat until all of the mixture has been used. I was able to make three small bath bombs.
  10. Allow the bath bombs to dry uncovered. This will take a minimum of 24 hours.

Slowly add all of the items to the jar, rearranging them so that everything fits.

I cut a narrow strip of thin cardboard from a recycled package and attached the hair clips to it so that they would stay in a nice straight line.

Try to make all of the items visible through the jar so that the recipient can see what’s inside.

    My daughter and I have started the process of making these as party favors for her 11th birthday party in Dec. We are starting in advance since we have 11 to make! It is the first year that she will have a party separate from her twin brother and she thought a spa would be fun. Your jars are just perfect!

      Hi Keith,
      There should be links to all of the items on Amazon within the blog post. If there is an item I didn’t add a link to, let me know and I’ll try to find it for you.
      Best of luck,

    I’d love to not give anyone a yeast infection with those bath bombs. Any cosmetic/bath sprinkles you would recommend instead?

      There is a debate as to whether the tiny amount of sugar dissolved in an entire bathtub of water would result in a level of sugar that would cause a yeast infection. That said, you could try coloring epsom salts with a mixture of colored mica and 91% alcohol, then letting it dry before using. Make sure you purchase mica that says on the label “safe for lips.” You can get it from a soapmaker supply house online. Or try grating the colored soaps into tiny pieces. I have also just seen soap sprinkles for sale at Michael’s. Finally, you could use some of the bath bomb mix and color it different colors, then lightly toss it all together. Don’t mix well or you will end up with a mud color.
