How to Make Bath Confetti

Step 1: Combine 2 tablespoons of liquid castile soap with about 1/4 teaspoon of mica powder. Mix well with a wooden craft stick or plastic spoon.

Note: If you are using a liquid colorant then add a few drops and see if it looks good to you. Keep in mind the color may lighten a little when it dries.  I used pink and purple mica powder but you can choose different colors for your confetti.

Step 2: Add about 20 drops of essential oil or fragrance oil and stir.

Note: You may need more or less scent depending on the strength of the fragrance you use. Start with 10 drops and increase from there. I used an uplifting blend of essential oils for the light pink confetti and lilac fragrance oil for the purple confetti. I think lavender essential oil would be a great option for a calming bath too.

Step 3: Use a sponge brush to paint the soap mixture onto both sides of the water soluble paper.

Step 4: Hang the paper to dry.

It's a little on the fragile side so be careful. As you can see there is a small tear at the top but it's not a big problem in the long run. Also, if you can't hang your soap paper you could try letting it dry on a cooling rack or a clothes drying rack.

Step 5: Once dry cut up the paper into smaller more manageable sizes.

Step 6: Punch as many circles as you can out of each piece of paper.

Note: You can use different kinds of decorative paper punches for this part. Sometimes the punch gets a soap build-up after many uses. Simply run some hot water over the punch and dry it well before trying again.

Step 7: Store your confetti in an airtight container. I used a glassine bag and a glass bottle with a lid for gift giving.

It's a little time consuming punching all those circles but in the end, this DIY bath confetti is pretty sweet. And, it made our house smell wonderful while I was working on it.
