PEPPERMINT FOOT SOAK BOMBS

July 28, 2016 by madincrafts 11 Comments

How To Make Peppermint Foot Soak Bombs

One of the perks of being a work at home mom is that I have all but forgotten how badly it hurts to be on my feet in heels all day.  When I was teaching, my toes would ache by the end of the school day.  If you are looking for some relief for your achin’ dogs, make a batch of these peppermint foot soak bombs!

The fizzing action of the pellets will feel great on your tootsies, and the smell of the peppermint oil will help you unwind after a long day.  The Epsom salt will soothe your aches, and the corn starch makes the water feel silky and smooth (much like conditioner does for your hair, Billy).

 

Watch this short video to see how I made these simple soak bombs.  Subscribe to my YouTube channel for earlier access to my video tutorials!

    Hi. thank you for sharing this. i wouldlove to succeed with making these.but until now i have failed. It seems like they “bubble up” whle hardening. I have tried it in the fridge and at room temps. and the same happens. after a few hours in the silicone mould they start bubbling and getting all soggy. even when i leave them for a couple of days they are all “chewy” inside (no, i haven’t chewed them 😉 )
    Do you have any tips for me, or ideas of what i am doing wrong?
    I hope to hear from you.
    Best wishes
    Tytten

      Oh no! It sounds like there is too much moisture getting into your mixture. I would reduce the amount of food coloring you use (in case it has too much water in it), and try to make them on a dry, not humid, day. I am so sorry you haven’t had success with them!

        SO, maybe if i make them really dry and try to set them in the mold like that, they will only draw moist enough to set like yours? 🙂 I will try your advise, thank you.

    The video doesn’t load so I can’t get the recipe. Could you post the recipe for me?

    Hi, can I use Himalayan salt instead of Epsom?

      I haven’t personally tried it, but I would think it would work just fine!
