I was getting tired of my plain shrink wrap bombs. I made the change this year and bought a bolt of print cloth with ribbon to match. I wanted a more upscale look. As out products this year went more high end. I'm uaing expensive oils and butters in my products. I think for the holidays, I'll go with the wrapping paper idea, especially in my kids line. More like a present! Thanks for all the tips and tricks! Jill Gross
one still has to wrap them in plastic to keep moisture out of them. areas with high humidity a BB would not stay nice long and if stored in a bathroom same goes
You're very welcome. You can definitely wrap them in plastic-free wrapping. Lush's bombs are always shipped to me in a paper bag & I'll leave them in their bags for a week or so & they're fine when I finally use them. Ram has a good point tho, try not to leave them unwrapped in a humid environment for very long!
Wow, so many ideas. Thanks so much Dora. Just a question about premature activation. Just wondering if you need to shrink wrap the bath bomb as well as the pretty wrappings. I imagine on rainy days they would start to activate if exposed to the air.
Cant believe you done this video dora i have been searching all day to find ways to package bath bombs. You are amazing ,this has helped sooo much ,i love your creations they are so unusual. Thank you so much dora
wow Dora, so many options, never thought about it. thank you for coming up with these amazing ideas. I have a quick question: I made bath bombs with embeds last night, following your instructions. I am so excited, because they seem to be okay. So my question is, when can I test one to see how they perform and if this is the recipe I would like to continue using? I am planning to wrap the, tonight (24hrs after making them), but would love to test one to check it out. What do you think? thanks a bunch!
GREAT QUESTION!!!!!!!!!! Ok, so- sometimes I get impatient & try a bomb 24 hours after making & it never floats or seems to do good… but after at least 3 days, I can really see what it’s made of! It really is amazing how differently they perform after a bit of R&R!!!
Thank you for the video . I used to try to do bombs but I did not manage and I will try again. I cannot find the document in the description, could you help me please?
Thank you soooo much for this! I’ve been wrecking my brain as to how to wrap the bath bombs because IMHO the plastic is such a pain to open them! I don’t want my friends or family to have to use scissors every time they want to use one.
I am also curious about how to waterproof the bathbombs with out the shrink wrap. As I noticed you have done all the wrapping over the shrink wrapped bath bomb. Is that to be the first layer always?
Great question! I wrapped them because I didn't realize I'd be using them for this (I didn't make these for this project, I made them just testing out ingredients) & it's a pain getting them unwrapped, just like @Alchemist Oasis said. So I simply left them like that. HOWEVER, you do NOT need to shrink wrap them beforehand! Granted, shrink wrap adds a bit more protection against humidity, but, ALL bath bombs' reactions diminish over time if left sitting un-used - NO MATTER what type of wrapping you use! So with that in mind, wrap them how you want! No need for shrink wrapping! ESP. if they'll be used within the first few weeks of making them!
Shrink wrap adds a bit more protection against humidity, but, ALL bath bombs' reactions diminish over time if left sitting un-used - NO MATTER what type of wrapping you use! Humidity somehow finds its way in, no matter what. So with that in mind, wrap them how you want! No need for shrink wrapping! ESP. if they'll be used within the first few weeks of making them! (Don't set them near a heat/water source; store them in a cool dry place.)
Dora I need your help! Do I use pvc or pof shrink wrap? I heard the pvc fumes are toxic but people have problems getting the pof to work! Not sure what to buy!!
Do you think it would be to risky to pack without the shrink plastic? I really want to try doing a plastic free packaging. Also I literally can’t believe what a wealth of information you are you answer questions and make the most informative videos! Thank you.
The only reason this could happen is if water was introduced during making them or right after they're made, causing premature chemical reactions to happen. Then, by the next day, there's just no reactions left. The ONLY way this is even possible is if you made them when the humidity is thru the roof (rainy days, or in a hot/humid room with no humidity/temperature control), OR you made them next to a steam source (water boiling, hot shower, etc.), OR if you're adding too much wet, OR adding the wet too quickly.
I have a question please is the bath bomb the same as shower steamer? If not can you make when you have time a tutorial how to make shower steamer? Thank you 💓 so much
Oh yeah in that case they’re gonna be affected big time. We lost power for 8 days when Ida came thru & my bombs were not the same! All that prolonged heat & humidity really does a number on bombs!
@@CreativeBathLab Well, I can say thats the worst that happened so it's not that big a deal. Still, wish I could wrap them in something better. I've seen the humidity set them off so bad. I live in Louisiana. Warting is a problem. I'd just like to find something prettier to put them in.
Thanks for sharing they are all so cute
Thank you! 🤗

Thank you!!
I ❤your videos
I'd like to add an idea--wrap it in a purchased or handmade (such as a crocheted) washcloth, tied with ribbon/yarn.
GREAT idea, too. BTW
The twisted paper is called raffia
GOOD TO KNOW! Thank you!
The twisted paper is called "paper twist." It was used in the late 80's and 90's to wrap wreaths and make paper flowers
😉
Where's the love button? These are some good ideas
💡
🥰
Do you have to shrink wrap before wrapping other ways?

@@CreativeBathLab perfect I will try it on Sunday. Thank you so much.
😉
super video wanted to know how do you remove the shrink wrap if we cut it with scissors wont it damage the bomb
Sadly, most of the time- yes
I just made some heart shaped ones…what do you suggest?! I’m very new at this. I was thinking shrink wrap but I don’t want it to look boring
Try tissue paper!
Thank you for the video . I used to try to do bombs but I did not manage and I will try again.
I cannot find the document in the description, could you help me please?
Do u need 2 shrink wrap them first. ?. Also what size was that box.
Nope! Ill check
Great video? Where can I find that type of thin foil at 5:27? Is it the same as the stuff sold for hair coloring? Thanks!
lol it sure is!
Thank you soooo much for this! I’ve been wrecking my brain as to how to wrap the bath bombs because IMHO the plastic is such a pain to open them! I don’t want my friends or family to have to use scissors every time they want to use one.
you are SO right! I dent my bath bombs EVERY TIME just trying to get a sliver into that tight ass shrink wrap with my scissors!
@@CreativeBathLab I bought some lil piks to open a bath bomb. They were in a group purchase.
Crinkle paper is bow paper
Thanks! Are there any options for keeping bath bombs waterproof without using shrink wrap?
I am also curious about how to waterproof the bathbombs with out the shrink wrap. As I noticed you have done all the wrapping over the shrink wrapped bath bomb. Is that to be the first layer always?

@@CreativeBathLab omg this is the question/answer that I was looking for ! Thanks
Dora I need your help! Do I use pvc or pof shrink wrap? I heard the pvc fumes are toxic but people have problems getting the pof to work! Not sure what to buy!!
I use Odorless PVC Clear End Shrink Wrap Bags. They are linked in description (I just put them there)
Do you think it would be to risky to pack without the shrink plastic? I really want to try doing a plastic free packaging. Also I literally can’t believe what a wealth of information you are you answer questions and make the most informative videos! Thank you.
What size was the sticker? Fits perfectly
2”
❤️🔥
Raffia paper is the paper that you unwind with your fingers.
Thank you!
♡♡♡
😉
🥰🥰🥰🥰❤❤❤❤
😘
How many inches are the stickers you're using here?
1” I believe!
It gets a very nice consistency and foams when ı make it, but it doesn’t foam when ı throw it the next day. What do you think?

@@CreativeBathLab thank you so much. Well, can you give a measurement in grams for solid materials?
Should the bath bombs be shrink wrapped before decorative wrapping ? It looks they are in the video?
No, they don't have to be! I didn't know that I was doing this video until after I shrank-wrapped them all.
I have a question please is the bath bomb the same as shower steamer? If not can you make when you have time a tutorial how to make shower steamer?
Thank you 💓 so much
Not the same from what I understand.... Never made 1 but it is in my TO DO LIST! lol
@@CreativeBathLab
I will wait your video about it 😉
Thanks
😊
Those satchel bags are also known as “ Organza Bags “
Lol I knew that, too!
What do you suggest to wrap a bath bomb in for a high humidity environment?
Probably shrink wrap, but Best deal is to use them within a month & they should be fine, no matter what they’re wrapped in!
@@CreativeBathLab Not sure about that. I came back after evac from Ida and had to throw out all my bombs lol.
Oh yeah in that case they’re gonna be affected big time. We lost power for 8 days when Ida came thru & my bombs were not the same! All that prolonged heat & humidity really does a number on bombs!

I understand!
I think the only thing you didn’t use was a coffee filter lol
Hahaha! I just laughed so hard! I know right?!?
