Tell your Valentine how much you love them with these Valentine Bath Bombs. They make the perfect DIY gift for friends, family, and even your kids teachers. Just follow the simple steps below to create your own Heart Bath Bombs.
You’re the Bomb Valentine Bath Bombs
Ingredients:
1 Cups Citric Acid
2 Cups Baking Soda
2 tbsp Cornstarch
1 oz shea butter or coconut butter (melted)
5-6 drops Essential Oil of Choice
1-2 Drops Red Food Coloring (optional)
Spray bottle of Witch Hazel
Directions:
- *If you have a manicure, wear gloves, or use a fork during the mixing process.
- In a mixing bowl combine cornstarch, citric acid and baking soda, being sure to remove all lumps.
- Add in Red food coloring, melted butter and essential oil and continue to mix.
- Using your spray bottle, spray the mixture 2-3 times and mix, slowly adding more witch hazel until the mixture holds it shaped when pressed together.
- Press into silicone molds, making sure to compact them tightly. I used the Wilton 2Easy Flex Heart 24-Cavity Silicone Mold
.
- Allow to dry in silicon molds for 12 hours. Once 12 hours is up, remove from molds, and allow to dry an additional 24 hours for a nice hard bath bomb.
- Print out the DIY Valentine Bath Bombs printable, cut out and tape on top of a short mason jar lid. You can also print it out on sticker paper.
- Give to your Valentine!
To Use:
Break bath bomb under running water for a nice fizzing and relaxing bath.

I am not a big bath taker but on occasions I do and when I do I love to use Bath Bombs! They make it super soothing for sure. Thanks for sharing this!!!
I am not a big bath taker either, but I could definitely slip into a relaxing bath with some of these. What a cute idea.
I take baths almost every day, and I totally need to make some of these!!
I’m not a bath taker either but my mil is and this would be a great gift idea for our kids to make for her.
Those bath salts are so cute! These would make a perfect gift for the women in my life, even for other holidays!
I don’t take baths anymore since we moved to a really cold area and our bathrooms are always freezing even with a heater on. But these would make great gifts!
Love! I’ve been wanting to take a nice hot bath lately. Maybe when the kids are in college. 😉
Oh, what a nice gift to give for someone who needs some relaxing and time to themselves!
What an adorable idea and I love the name!
This would make a fantastic Valentine’s Day gift for close friends and the kids’ teachers. Thanks so much for sharing!
What a great gift idea! I rarely get to take baths, but would like to make some to have on hand for when that rare occasion arises. 🙂
I haven’t taken a bath in quite a while, but this definitely motivates me to want to take one soon. I just have to find the time 😉
I have been looking for a great and easy Valentine’s Day gift for my children to make for their friends. Thank you for these bath bombs!
Lately I have become a huge fan of DIY gifts – especially when they come in such cute packaging.

I’m not a fan of baths unless I have a garden tub to soak in – and at least 30 minutes to enjoy the bath. That’s difficult these days with two kids — but I would love these Valentine Bath Bombs for those rare occasions when I have time to myself.
So cute! Sometimes I feel like a total spaz when it comes to DIY/craft projects, but I definitely want to try this one. Like you said, great gift for grandma or teachers.
