These DIY donut bath bombs look so real you’ll be hungry when you use them
Finally the two best things about baths have come together: donuts and bath bombs. Okay, most of us don’t *usually* eat donuts in the bathtub, but that doesn’t mean we haven’t thought about it or haven’t been waiting for this exact moment.
These donut bath bombs might be the cutest things you can actually make at home. Using the typical bath bomb material such as citric acid and epsom salt, you can create a snack food relaxation paradise. With a silicone donut mold, eco-glitter, and soap base, you get to decorate your spa donuts any way you want. Get a cute little donut box and give them out by the dozens. Just remind yourself and your friends that they’re not food, because they definitely look good enough to eat. Watch the video and find the recipe below.
