The DH decided to make bath bombs - making them is a lot cheaper than buying them at places like Lush. So... how did we do it?
Purchase all your materials (I know, you already know to do this).
For a good list, check out http://www.instructables.com/id/How-To-Make-Bath-Bombs/
Some modifications: I used a spritzer for adding water to spread the water more evenly and make a more homogeneous mixture. See http://www.skiptomylou.org/2011/02/04/youre-the-bomb/ for another suggestion on how to construct bath bombs.
I used grapeseed oil initially just because I had some. I used it as a massage oil for the baby but didn't like it on her skin. I think I would go with apricot kernel with a touch of tea tree oil plus essential oils per recipes. Oh, with essential oils, less is better. Stick to the 2 tsp amount and you will be good. Any more can yield a very potent product.
Last but not least, use a mold rather than a snowball maker if you want a rounded product. I was only able to produce hemispheres with the snowball maker.
