VIDEO: Make bath balls yourself

To make a nice bubble bath yourself, you only need a few ingredients and a little patience.

Make bath balls yourself

• A variant of conjuring up a bath ball yourself is this one: you mix 200 grams of baking soda with 100 grams of citric acid and 50 grams of cornstarch. Then add 5 tablespoons of cooking oil (ideally odorless) and 20 drops of an essential oil. Knead the whole thing until you get a solid mass. Shape the whole thing into balls and let it set in the freezer for at least 1 hour. If you want to store the bath balls, preferably in a dry place and in an airtight container.

• Variation number 2: To do this, first mix the dry ingredients again. That is 2 tablespoons of starch, 2 tablespoons of citric acid and 60 grams of baking soda. Then add 3 tablespoons of cooking oil (odorless, or, depending on your taste, coconut or olive oil), 20 - 39 drops of essential oils (also according to taste) and a few drops if necessary Food coloring. This is also a great idea for a present, for example. Shape the mass into balls and leave to dry for 3 hours in a dry place.

• Option number 3: In bowl number one, mix 3 tablespoons of corn flour with 4 packets of baking powder and 4 packets of citric acid. Meanwhile, in the second bowl, mix 4 tablespoons of almond or coconut oil (depending on your mood) with a few drops of essential scented oil and food coloring. Put the contents of both bowls together, knead the whole thing and shape into balls (a tennis ball cut in half is a suitable shape, for example). Let the bath balls dry for a few hours and enjoy the bubble bath.
