candlebean Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Hi all,Right now I only make candles, but I love reading your posts about B&B. I've done a search but can't find any basic instructions for anything - maybe I am just missing it or searching the wrong things. Personally, I love those fizzy balls for the tub - I have no idea how hard or easy they are to make, or what is a typical thing to start with and work up from. If someone could point me to a good starting point, I would love it!TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sudsnwicks Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 The fizzy balls for the tub are called bath bombs. If you do a search for this phrase you'll find recipes from the recipe section to get you started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crafty1_AJ Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 When I started with B&B, I tried M&P soap, whipped shea butter, and lotion bars. Those were a good beginning for me. Lip balms also aren't too hard. Scrubs aren't too bad. Bath bombs would rank next in difficulty for me.With emulsified products such as lotions/creams, and lye soapmaking, there is a bit of a steeper learning curve. Those are probably the most challenging from my point of view.HTH, and happy B&Bing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrie Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 I started with CP and have been adding items that I can make out of the CP ingredients, plus a few extras like FCO. It all depends on what interests you. I also started making pillars before anything else in candlemaking. I guess I always pick the hard stuff to start with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except for the bath bombs:embarasse I finally gave up with excuse to myself that it's this darn Florida humidity. Puffed up crater lookin things that they were.

Crafty1_AJ Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Yup, when the humidity here is high, I don't even bother making them. I wait for low humidity, otherwise they'll just be goofed up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
