Directions: First mix all the dry ingredients together, the baking soda, cornstarch, and citric acid in a large bowl.

In a separate bowl mix together the melted coconut oil, witch hazel and essential oil. I added about 10 drops of essential oil, just add however much you need to get the desired strength of the scent. Then using a funnel pour the wet mixture into a spray bottle. This will make the mixing of the wet and dry a lot easier.

Now for the more difficult part. You need to make the mixture just wet enough to mold into a shape and not fall apart but not too wet to where it will diffuse the bath bomb. To make it easier use a spray bottle so you only get a little liquid each time making it less likely to make it too wet. You can also add the food coloring at any point in the mixing process It should become the consistency of damp sand. It should still be grainy but when you squeeze it in your hand it should pretty much maintain its shape.

Once you get the right amount of dampness to the mixture place it in your mold. Make sure it is very tightly packed together. Press down as hard as you can or else it will crumble and not maintain the shape when you take it out.





Vanilla Cupcake: I used vanilla essential oil purchased here on amazon. I used silicone cupcake molds to mold the bath bomb. Then I sprinkled some sprinkles on the top to make it a little bit more festive, and oh my gosh these smell so good! Just like a fresh cupcake!




Tropical Passion Fruit: I also got this essential oil off of Amazon and I am obsessed with the scent! I molded this one to look like a sphere bath bomb from Lush. I used a fill able ornament (one that has 2 halves). Over fill each half and then put them together till the ornament can close. To remove just tap the edges and the mold should slide off then put aside for the bath bomb to dry.




Vanilla Pomegranate: I purchased this fragrance at Micheals. These smell so good! I used a small heart silicon mold to make these. Make sure to pack them down really tightly. I do it in sections. I add a little to the mold and press as hard as I can and then add more until it is full. They are smaller but it makes a lot of them so you can give a lot away!

1. Sport team Gear - If the guy that you are buying for is crazy about a Professional sports team then getting them some team gear is a great option. You could get a jersey of their favorite player, a sweatshirt, or pretty much anything with the logo and they will love it!

2. Golf Clubs - Golf is a great sport to play for fun. If your guy has ever shown an interest in golf then getting him some clubs to get started or even to add to his collection is a great easy idea! If he isn't a fan of golf you could get him some equipment of whatever his favorite sport to play is!

First you are going to spray paint your board whatever color you would like. White and Black would both work very well. I chose to use black because I knew the Yellow would pop against a black background. After it dries, place the cut out letters on the board where you would like them. I left extra space at the end so I could put the logo on.

After I placed them in the way I liked I taped them down so they would stay put while I nailed around them. Hammer in the nails just along the border of your letters. I placed my nails about a finger width apart and that was perfect for this board.

After you finish nailing the borders of the letters you can remove the paper from the board. Your letters will look something like this. 

After all of the nails are hammered in and the paper is removed you can start adding your string design. To start I traced a border around the nails with the string. I tied a very tight knot around a nail to start and then I wrapped the string around the outside of each nail to create the border. 

After you finish the border just go for it. Wrap the string around whichever nails and make whatever pattern you desire. I personally liked the look of it being random. It wasn't in any particular pattern, I just wrapped it until I was satisfied.

I decided to add the logo of the team to the end of the board because the Steeler's logo is pretty simple. I did this just the same as I did the letters. I printed out the logo and then taped it down to the board. 



Like I did the letters I just nailed around the Diamonds and then around the outer corner. Then I used white string to fill in the circle. I strung it from the outer edge of the circle to the diamonds. Then I strung the diamonds with yellow, red, and blue. 



This is such a perfect gift that any sport loving man would love to receive.
