This is like your water marbling (SimplyNailogical) equivalent.
Lol. I came to the comments to say this! 😂😂
Hahahaha yes! 😂
I was just about to say this!
Absolutely!
I love that analogy!
I LOVE these "hang out with Katie while she crafts" videos!! I love that your personality REALLY shines!!
I actually prefer chaotic Katie! It calms my ADHD brain
Oh Katie I really wanted this to work out well for you. A few HUGE tips I have for you. 1) the warty-ness you saw is from the citric acid and the wet ingredients starting to react to each other. I personally have figured out that if you mix all of your liquid ingredients into the oils your using they sort of trap the liquid in a coating of oil and it helps keep the liquid away from the citric acid and it doesn't start to expand. 😉 (it prevents the warty-ness. 2) extremely humid air can and will start the chemical reaction between the ingredients. 3) your molds are huge! YES every girl dreams of using an 8 oz bath bomb!! I make 2 oz. bath bombs and if I want to use 2-3-or 4 at once I can do just that. I normally make my bombs in the fall and I try to make enough for gifts and for 1 year of personal use for 3 females in my home😁! 4) My recipe uses epson salts in the mix. I think the salt does help keep the mix from starting to react and go warty. 🤔 5) You really do want to pack as much as you can into the molds. The packing is what keeps your bombs together until they have had a chance to dry-out and become hard. When I first started making bath bombs I used some really cheap cupcake pans as my molds. You can really pack a metal pan very easily. I also leave my bombs in the mold for about 6 hours before unmolding, then let them dry for 2-3 days before putting them into shrink wrap bags. I hope I have given you a head-full of helpful ideas 💡 to think about 🤔 💭!!
6) I use a spring loaded bath bomb press that I got on amazon for about $13 and you get 2 of them for that price. (Just search bath bomb molds on amazon.) You just hand pack it as full as you can and then smack it down a few times to compact it together and I put them directly into the shrink-wrap bags and leave them open for 2-3 days to dry out. Then I shrink wrap them closed. (It looks like a mini food chopper from about 20 years ago.) If you would like my recipe please just ask!!
Oh- I want your recipe!!
Could you share the recipe? I’ve been trying to make bath bombs and it’s not working well
Oh, Katie, you are a kindred spirit with all those bath bomb specific colorants. Every single time I discover a new crafty thing I want to try I buy ALL the things I could possibly need. And then I use them once or twice before deciding it’s not for me. Should I get the bare necessities next time in case I don’t end up liking it? Yes. Will I? No. No, I will not. I will buy ALL of the things.
Same...all of this, same.
The realization of why people don't make yellow bath bomb... I laughed so hard!
I used to make bath bombs in NE georgia (hello humidity) with no problems! happy to share my recipe with you if you'd like. The SLSA is definitely the reason for the sudsy "fizz". I never used it personally. I always used the aluminum bomb molds with no issue - the way I packed the molds is the key!
I would love to try your recipe? I have bought several. I am in Florida.
@@shalomeclark9204 is there a way to DM on TH-cam? If not, I'd be happy to email it
I think despite the warts it performed very well! The warts are just from the humidity and it's easy to combat with a dehumidifier. I do think that probably adding more wet to it when it was in the mixing bowl most likely was the turning point though, you want it to be good enough to hold shape when it drops but not too hard at that stage. Packing it in the mold is the hardest thing, I've seen people make a little hole before packing the top layer and it seems to work but I haven't gotten that one down 😅
This is giving ”drunk college girl dying her hair at 2a.m”
PLEASE 😂😂😂
I don't think this was a fail. As that foam and fizz was on point, even though it sank. If I bought it I'd be happy and buy them again. Better selling point was the slow melt. As my son wants to use multiple when they fizz away to fast.
I am so happy to know that Katie is a Drink Goblin, just like me. I'm a "one to hydrate, one to caffinate, one for fun" type of Drink Goblin! (Except my one to caffinate turns into herbal tea after lunch.)
Also, I think that the bath bombs have to dry out for 2 to 6 weeks to float. So it wasn't your mistake Katie, they just didn't get time to dry out enough.
There are two things that made a difference for me with bath bombs- the type of baking soda and that I add a tiny splash of water to the baking soda first and blend it before adding the rest of the dry ingredients. I am in AZ, so pretty dry over here.
Katie, I just love how authentic you are in your videos!! I feel like I really know you!
I love your videos and the fact that you are so willing to share your stories on what works and what does not, and to show the process of both good and not so good, I REALLY appreciate. The honesty is appreciated but more importantly, the products you make are amazing, fun, and beautiful. Thank you for your willingness to help us all at whatever level we are in our learning.
Dont give up. After 10 years I finally found the right one for my climate.
Katie you are such a positive woman! I love your ability to laugh when there can be frustration. I love your desire to succeed!
HAH! I recognized that Aristocats goose tune you did when moving the chair! it's lil things like that which is why i love watching you!
Bath bombs are crazy rough to make. It took me 6 months to formulate my recipe to last a long time and deal with Oklahoma humidity. Also 3D printed molds need a more oil heavy recipe. That’s what I use for mine. Also the weight doesn’t necessarily matter whether a bath bombs sinks or floats.
I believe in you! One day you’ll find the recipe that works for your working conditions
You may should try the bath bomb recipe from "bath fizz and foam". They work great and its so much fun to make them
I found i needed more wet ingredients (coconut oil) due to the dry air. No colouring in mine and I just use a large ice cube tray rather than fancy. My recipe is cornstarch, baking soda, citric acid, just a little Epson salt and coconut oil
Bath bomb brown thumb
I feel that. I'm almost 60 and still can't make an over easy egg to save my behind.
I'm wondering if you use the exact same recipe but change the cocoa butter out for grapeseed oil? it may be the only adjustment needed.
I would actually buy that bath bomb. Super cute I love that it's sudsy for a bath and I don't care about a bath bomb sinking. I kinda like when they do and put them under my back so the fizzles kinda massage my back for me. Lol
Maybe the next can be an AI generated recipe. We were very impressed by Chat GPT’s creativity and cold process knowledge when it designed a few bars with(?) Katie
I have absolutely no interest in bath bombs or bath products, but you're so damn funny I'm watching this whole video anyways! 🤣 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Those are some GIGANTIC bath bomb molds, I love it. Especially the smiley face, those are my favorite!
I will say, and maybe this is one you’ve tried already (with a lot of ingredients) but the Bath Fizz and Foam recipes are great. I started with those and have tweaked them over the years for my own custom formula (for my own humidity and water needs), but the base formulas are wonderful!
The ones with more ingredients have them for a reason, each ingredient has a job that makes the whole process work together. 😉
Editing to add: if this is the recipe I think it is they need a good 4 days to dry before they get used for best fizzing. And if it is humid in your area, you should have a dehumidifier running while they dry.
Also, floating bath bombs are all in the packing. If you pack too tightly they will absolutely sink.
I have moisture problems at my home so I leave the acid out till after everything is all mixed sent water oil everything in the baking soda when it feels right I put in the acid and it works for me
I got lucky with my bath bomb recipe, never had an issue with it no matter the weather 😊 it comes down to how you pack it.
The weight of a bomb doesn't determine the floating either I've made bath bombs over 300+ grams and they float, it comes down to the recipe and how you pack it.
"It's 11 grams...I'm done with that." I hope you're not that dismissive with sodium hydroxide. 😂😂😂😂 This is the FUNNIEST vlog. I feel your pain. Bath Bombs tend to be ephemeral...
This like my sister with slime. I don’t know why but she absolutely cannot make slime.
I'd put money on the majority of your issues with this round being due to the humidity, and a little being due to not being mixed quiiiiiiite well enough.
If you've got a dehumidifier, run it for a while in advance and keep running it while the bathbombs set. You could also get a container and put rice in the bottom, then put a layer of freezer/baking/parchment paper and set your bathbombs on those. I live in humiditities central and this is how i dry mine successfully 😊
Youll also find that if the back isnt *perfectly* flat you'll get cracking on the front. I like to use an offset spatula or plastic scraper to smooth the back off.
I think this was overall a successful attempt to be honest! Just a couple minor tweaks in the process and I'd say you're good!
1 cup baking soda
1/2 cup citric acid
1 tsp slsa
1 tsp kaolin clay
1 tsp oil of your choice
colourant of your choice
1tsp fragrance oil of our choice
combine all ingredients EXCEPT citric acid in a kitchen ad mixer... once mixed add in citric acid into mixer and then with a spray bottle filled with water spritz slowly until it feel like kenetic sand where u can squeeze in ur hand so it sticked together, make sure not too wet youll either activate the mixture or it wont press properly or both... then put it into your bath bomb mold an use hand press or pnuematic press to put together remove from mold and voila let dry for 24hrs
I am learning to make bath bombs too. I am sculpting my own molds, so I hope I can learn how to make the bath bombs, or I'll be sculpting these for nothing. 🙈
I love chatty Katy!
Having multiple drinks at once is being the beverage goblin 😂
I love these videos but ALSO where did you get that magnificent shirt?
It took me over a year of testing to find a bathbomb recipe that works for me. I still dread making them, lol.
I love these kinds of videos! Love seeing you make anything to be honest. Thank you for making them!
Hi, Love the bath bombs, the bumps on them is from the mixture being to wet. As far as them sinking is because they are heavy from the packing in the mold. Good jobs!
That sponsorship placement and transition was PERFECT!!
It wasn't perfect, the whole mixing part was cut out.
We went from not mixed, ad, to mixed.
RIP Katie: who made lots of bath bombs and might have the Baking Soda lung 😆😆😆😆
A dehumidifier helps with the humidity to prevent warting 40 to 45 percent seems to work best for bath bombs.
Who else thought she put the Walmart bag on her head as a hair net (right after she took out the baking soda)
I cringed so hard when you said, "Isn't it the best time to test a recipe when its storming?".. Because absolutely not. Without knowing your recipe, I can say professionally that everything looked fine and you did amazing. But the recipe is not the problem. I run a dehumidifier to get my studio under 40% humidity at 73F. Over 40% humidity, I won't even make an attempt.
Definitely true! The recipe was advertised as being safe for high humidity so I thought “Well, why not?” Haha Now I know exactly why not. 😂
I just need to loop you pushing your chair and singing the goose song 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Where is that red sweater from? I love it!!
Love love love this video. I share your experience. Bath bombs, everybody loves 'em who uses them. When I pull it off I can never have enough on hand, even my grandson loves them. Yet Bath bombs are the bane of my existence. I have purchased, tweaked and formulated recipes. I faithfully run the dehumidifier and check the humidity numbers constantly. I sift, I mix, I pray and sometimes they work sometimes they don't. So your honesty here is so much fun. Thanks so much as today I am attempting to make the bath bombs my daughter has asked me to make for gifts. Wishing you good luck and hoping I have a little good luck myself😁
Um, this may be a stupid question, but did you account for the weight of the strainer in your tareing process, or just the bowl? If you don't acount for the strainer that may explain why your recipes keep going astray, since you're weighing things with the strainer on the bowl. Just a thought.
I love crafting with chatty Katie! 🤣🤣
"We've upgraded since then and I'm still yelling"- my whole life
Thanks for sharing. I am a new soap maker, and I watch and learn so much from you. I love your personality. I appreciate your hard work. Peace and blessings.
You NEED to use the Bath Fizz and Foam High Humidity Bath Bomb Recipe!!! Robyn French Smith is ALSO from Texas and I swear she is the bath bomb QUEEN!! Also, I LOVE vacuum form molds!! They are the best and easiest to use IMO.
Katie. Love your videos. I found a bath bomb recipe that works every time. Here are a couple of tips to try. Use less liquid than you think. Don’t use cocoa butter use a light oil ( grape seed oil is perfect) also when you fill a mold loosely over fill than use your finger and poke a few holes in them than loosely overfill again than press down. To remove tape the sides with a knife and flip over they will fall out. Good luck.
Damn, I want this recipe! This is how I *want* my bath bombs to work, but so few that I've brought last that long or give that creamy soapy lather! Most sellers are all like "Oh 5 minute fizz is too long" and I'm like "NOOOOOO 10 min is just right!! Probably because I like to get into the bath before I put the bomb in and let it fizz while I'm relaxing. I'd happily put up with some humidity lumpiness to get this reaction from a recipe 😂
Yellow bath water.... Katie, now I understand why people dont make yellow bath bombs 🤣
The thumbnail of this video killed me! So funny. Love “chatty Katie”
i didnt even realize the mic had changed probably because my computer speakers work about as well as my phone speakers...... which is not good
😂 exactly! Like 15 ingredients of 11 grams....that was great!
You might wanna use a brown eyeshadow for your eyebrows they’re a little light compared to your hair. Obviously you don’t have to but I feel like it was so nice when I started using eyebrow products. I REALLY need mascara because my lashes are basically blonde which sucks.
I don't see this bathbomb as a fail, more like a bomb for an adult vs a kid. Like, I look for soft skin and long use with a great relaxing fragrance. I like that it fizzed for so long and all the foam. But my kids like flashy bathbombs that float around and make bigger bubbles. They also want to use 3-4 per bath, and it gets crazy expensive...
I make shower tablets. My cousin wants me to make her bath bombs for her wedding. Any suggestions are welcome.
Katie you need to get Robyn French Smith's book it's called bath bomb revolution. You will become a bathbomb expert
Katie, I say this with all the love in the world and as a neurodivergent gal myself…but do you have ADHD? Your late night chaos reminds me a LOT of myself 😅
Me: omg those bath bombs look like real steaks!
Also me: wait, those are real, what kind of recipe is this?!
Oh. It's the ad 🤦🏻♀️
Bath bombs don't HAVE to float, but you could poke holes in the mix while it's in the mold with a chopstick, to create air holes and see if that helps it float. Personally, I feel if a bath bomb lasts MORE than 10 minutes, that's a good thing, since people tend to want to soak and relax as long as possible.
Try putting imbeds inside an not packing as tight… imbeds help make them move, the tighter they are packed makes them sink but fizz slower. From what I’ve noticed.. I haven’t made them in years. Moisture in the air can impact them as well
Hey, good try! I’ve not completely mastered bath bombs but I will say it won’t float because you packed it too tight, the warts are from probably to much moisture, if you would have ran a dehumidifier it probably wouldn’t have got warts, an when it’s humid outside that can really play a roll in that kind of stuff dehumidifier for sure when humid out. But nice try and I hope you don’t give up!
The vast majority of bath bomb recipes create rubbish fizz because they dilute the bicarb/citric acid mix too. Don't add too much cornflour or you won't get a good reaction. In terms of sinking- that's just normal for larger bath bombs- if you want to see more of a show, put the bath bomb in first and then run the water.
In future, I'd add less butter, less cornflour, way more colourant and make sure you wet them with witch hazel and not water.
You shouldn't make bath bombs when it's raining, don't know what extra you added like ( maybe witch hazel) that just drys them out. But I think these turned out pretty well.
This video gives me hope but I live in South Texas like...45 mins from the Gulf and haven't found a way to make them yet either. T_T lol
First, your bombs look good. A game changer for me was grinding my citric, it makes super smooth bombs. To get them to float, put into your mould and press mix into base and around sides, next fill loosely. Then top up and smooth the top pressing it down. This way you won't overfill and the middle will be lighter helping your bomb float. As another maker said cover with cling film/saran wrap to keep the humidity out. A dehumidifier helps on humid days too. I leave mine a day to dry then paint. Good luck
Take this with a grain of salt: (since my bath bombs also suck) the mold is too big. Also, I dry mine in the oven. Even if it’s just low warmth from the light bulb.
I cannot stop laughing….maybe we can see why people might not make yellow bath bombs 🤣😂🤣🤢 lol! But, super cute anyway🤪
I find it funny how some people can make 1 thing but not another. My 2 aunties are the same but with scones. 1 can make pumpkin scones that are divine and the other can only make plain ones. It's really funny. I've figured some things people just can't do because they just don't work.
I wanted to make bath bombs too; however, I am in Florida. Like Texas, I think our humidity gets us every time.
I am happy you found a mixer, but i will defend kitchen aid. If you register your mixer youll never have to get a whole new one (or at least not at your expense). Everytime ive had an issue with a part, including the accessories, they've immediately replaced it and it didn't take weeks of calling and arguing. They just say we are so sorry about that, let's confirm your address and mixer type so we are sure you're getting the part you need. I have had mine for over 10 years now!
Huge tip. Add your citric last after giving everything else a good mix and pack lighter =)
Maybe I’m alone, but I don’t really like bath bombs that dissolve too fast and make big bubbles, I never feel like they make the bath water feel nice. I prefer the way these looked like they were performing
Not gonna lie, don't lie not seeing a ton of your soap videos every month. This new schedule needs to go! We want katie and soap!!!!!!!!
I really think your only issue here was over packing the molds. I made bathbombs for my wedding the only issues I came across was them not being damp enough to hold their shape (to correct we just added a little extra oil) and overpacking causing them not to work as well. It’s all trial and error ❤
Your are just awesome! I love your energy in everything you do. You're a ray of sunshine on a cold dreary (Michigan) day.
Awww, Katie, don't feel too bad about the bath bombs. Bath bombs are not easy to get right. What works in one area won't work in another because they're so finicky. It took me over a year of constant tweaking and learning and trying to get my recipe and technique to work well enough to sell. And I'm still tweaking to get my bath bombs exactly the way I want them! I wish I could come teach you how to get it to work right for you, but distance is a thing. lol
The goose tune at the start 😂😂😂😂 You awakened a tube I’d forgotten. Hit me in the past childhood. Haha!
Not me blending my soup with a stock blender the other day pretending I’m makin soap
I’d be careful with smiley faces, the owners tried to sue 300 creators on Etsy recently.
😂😂😂 and I thought I was the only one who had 3 different cups while working in the soap lab...
i dont know why you bother, but its funny. i used to support a small local busness, with soap and bath goodies, but they are now a massive company, you have herd of- lush and i live near poole
OH GOD I could taste when you were sifting the baking soda aghhhhhh
I think these might work well as bubble bars instead of bath bombs. They look pretty good.
I too have issues with bath bombs, and honestly it’s just the darned weather/air temp/humidity etc.
Put some little straws into your mold while you pack and then remove them. Add a thin layer just to cover the holes without mashing them in, and it gives your bath bomb air pockets that help them float.
The “warty” texture could be due to the drying environment also you may have added too much liquid to your batch.
I found that it was all about the humidity. Gotta be at 50% in my house or they don't work. Thought they were gonna b the death of me too! I've been able to make lots of them finally!
Not the Aristocats goose jingle while she was moving stuff!!! It took me a minute to realize what it was.
I don't know that this is a great bathbomb, I don't mind if they sink and I like the yellow too. With some fun colors this would look awesome in a tub of water.
oh please don't do them steaks in an air fryer ...girl you done them steaks dirty. I guess if you enjoyed them then that's all that matters . long time fan 1st ever comment .
Bath bombs did not beat you this year you definitely beat them I get bath bombs from Lush that live ring around and sink right to the bottom even some of the handmaid ones I do will the sink you definitely concurred bath bombs this year
You are so hilarious! I think I peed laughing with you!
Love it! I haven't tried bath bombs. I don't have a tub to use it in anyway. What about shower steamers? Have you made those?
