Very nice! I don't have arrowroot powder. Anyone have any ideas on a substitute?

Corn starch will do. Though I think Krissy said hers with cornstarch came out more dough-ish than bath bomb-ish like in the video. But either way will work.

WOOPS my bad ! of course it is. I had a feeling but I wasn't sure

i ended up using cornstarch and my batch came out more like playdough. it was very easy to work with and a great quick project.

You're welcome. Easy answer.

I agree about the bubble bars. It's a beautiful color.

And I love how you put the rose bud in it! Perfect for Valentines or Mother's Day

I want to try making bubble bars. Those look very good.

Looks good and I like roses so I bet they smell wonderful.

They look great do these make bubbles in the bath? My Abbey would so love these :0)

Those are beautiful! Amanda, I've got your recipe printed out, and I'm going to give it a go. I will have to tweak it a bit because I don't have arrowroot powder either, but I'm thinking a combo of cornstarch and cream of tarter. I might do a little less liquid surfactant and make an addition of some type of oil or butter as my skin is soooooo dry right now. I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks for sharing your recipe!

That sounds good, Nancy!

Yes, Lyn...you crumble it under running water and it makes loads of bubbles. I prefer them to bath bombs as I am super bath bomb challended...lol.

Well that is it I am going to have to try them as my Abbey is a huge bubble fan :0). Great for climates like ours as so humid I haven't bothered to try making the bath bombs!!!!.
