Amazon - \r<br>Link for smaller mold, approximately 2.1 inches in diameter.\r<br>Amazon - \r<br>\r<br>Plastic Christmas Ball Ornament - Also, most craft stores carry these around the holidaysc \r<br>\r<br>Citric Acid - \r<br>Check your local grocery store next to the canning supplies. Health food stores also carry citric acid. \r<br>Amazon - \r<br>\r<br>For Bulk Citric Acid - \r<br>Wholesale Supplies Plus (I like that they have a flat rate $5 handling fee on orders $40 or more)\r<br>\r<br>Also, saveoncitric.com\r<br>\r<br>\r<br>Bath Bomb Colorants - \r<br>Celestial Colors - \r<br>Other things you can use to color your bath bombs - \r<br>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<br>Wholesale Supplies Plus - \r<br>Mica - use sparingly or they will create a dark colored ring around your tub! - My favorites include. \r<br>Mad Oils Micas - \r<br>Nurture Soap Micas - \r<br>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<br>\r<br>\r<br>\r<br>Fragrance Oils - My favorite companies - \r<br>Nurture Soap Supplies - \r<br>Brambleberry - \r<br>Mad Oils - \r<br>Wholesale Supplies Plus - \r<br>\r<br>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<br>I purchase mine from Penzeys Spices - \r<br>\r<br>Thank you for watching! Happy crafting! xo, Emilie
