Directions:

1. First, weigh out your dry ingredients. In your deep mixing bowl, add 350 grams Baking Soda, 175 grams citric acid, 18 grams of Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, and 1 gram of the Diamond Dust.  Mix using your hands.  Break up any clumps in the mixture. Optionally, you can run the mixture through a sifter.  Once mixed set this bowl aside, for now.
   
2. In your small mixing bowl weigh out 7 grams Avocado Oil, 7 grams Polysorbate 80, and 7 grams Almost Autumn Fragrance Oil. Stir.
3. Next, add the wet ingredients to the bowl containing the dry ingredients. Using your hands, mix the ingredients together.
4. Slowly spray mixture with witch hazel, mix mixture, and continue spritzing with witch hazel until the mixture feels like crumbly dough in your hands. Be very careful not to spray too much witch hazel into your mixture or it will over-activate the bath bomb mixture.
5. Place the basic circle mold in front of you.Fill each cavity of the mold with the bath bomb mixture. You want to pack each cavity as tightly as possible. As you are filling the mold press to ensure the mixture is as compact as possible.  
6. Allow the bath fizzies to set up.Set up time will depend on your environment and amount of witch hazel used. Ours set up within a couple of hours. However, it can take up to 8 hours. Once set up, remove them from the mold.
7. Prepare your yellow, terracota, and gold colorants. You will need to create thin paint-like consistency with the micas and alcohol. For the yellow collorant add 1 gram Yellow Blast Colorant, 1 gram 24K Gold Mica, and 1 gram Diamond Dust Mica to a small bowl. Then add a couple of teaspoons of alcohol and stir. If the mixture is not thin enough add more alcohol until you have a thin enough mixture. Note: If you add too much alcohol, just wait about 10 minutes. Some of the alcohol will evaporate.
8. For the terracotta color add 1 gram of the Terracotta Mica to another small bowl and add about 2 teaspoons of the alcohol then stir. You are looking for the same consistency as the yellow. 
9. For the gold color add one gram of the 24K Gold Mica and mix it with about 2 teaspoons of the alcohol.
10. Finally, place your bath bombs on a paper plate or piece of wax paper and paint on mittens using the three prepared colors as we did. Another option is drizzling each bath bomb with the prepared coloring using a pipette. Allow the colorants to dry. 

Once dry, your bath bombs are ready to use! Enjoy!
