& Sanitize your work area and all of your packaging materials. It is
suggested that you wear gloves, protective clothing, and a hair net while
preparing this recipe.
Prep
the Base:
1. Weigh out all of your butters and beeswax from the
total recipe for Bath Melt Bottoms.
2. Begin melting the butters and
beeswax using the double boiler method.
Heat until completely melted.
3. Add your beet root powder and stick
blend thoroughly. You want the herb to
be completely incorporated throughout the entire melted mixture. This allows for your finished bath melts to
have a nice bold color.
4. Add your fragrance oil and stir.
5. Once blended, set out both of your
cupcake cherry on top molds. Fill
approximately 1/4 of each cupcake bottom (for 3).
Place the remaining bath melt mixture back on low heat for about 10- 15
minutes. Stir occasionally.
6. Prep your (3) 4oz
bottles by completely wrapping the bottom half portion with wax paper. Secure the wax paper with tape.
7. Once the bath melt mixture in the
mold has started to harden, gently put one of each of your 4 oz. bottles in the
center of each mold opening. Give the
bath melt mixture that is still on the stovetop one last good stir, and
carefully pour the remaining mixture along the side of the bottle to completely
fill the molds. Allow this to fully set
up.
Prep
the Bats:
8. In your microwave safe glass container, weigh out and melt 45 grams of Diamond Clear Melt and Pour Soap in the microwave 30 seconds at a
time. Stir gently. Keep melting until all soap is in a liquid state.
Prep the "RIP" Paint:
14. In a
small mixing bowl, weigh
out your vegetable glycerin
and arrowroot powder. Blend this
together to make a thick paste. Then,
add 20 drops of FUN Soap Colorant Black Oxide.
Stir again until all of the color is incorporated into the paste. Set aside.
Prep the Bath Melt "Glue":
15. Weigh out your cocoa butter and beeswax. Begin melting the two together using the double boiler method. Heat until completely melted. Stir. Once both
ingredients are melted, keep this on low heat stirring occasionally.
Assembly:
16. Lay each of your filled tea bags flat, with the string side towards you. Then,
using a small paint brush, paint the letters "RIP" towards the opposite
side of the string end. Allow this to
harden.
17. Once your bath melt bottoms are completely
hardened, gently remove the bottle from the wax paper in each mold. Then, very gently pull each wax paper from
the molds as well. Once both are
removed, carefully remove each bath melt bottom from the mold. Then, stick the bath melt back in its mold so
that you can decorate it without it melting in your hands.
18. Now, get your bubble fizz bowl, and carefully pack the bottom of the bath
melt with the mixture. Do not completely
fill. Once the bubble fizz is packed
down, place one tea bag (string side down) into the opening. Then, place even more bubble fizz around the
tea bag to secure it in place.
19. Next, using a spoon and working
quickly, place some of the bath melt "glue" on top of the bubble fizz and
around the tea bag. Then, quickly spread
the purple sugar on top of the melted "glue" to completely cover the bath melt
bottom. Repeat with all (3) bath
melts. Allow this to fully set up.
20. Pop the bat embeds out of the mold
while you are waiting for the sugar to adhere and harden as the "glue" sets
up.
21. Place your bat embed in front of the RIP side of the tea bag. Carefully, spoon some bath melt "glue"
behind the bat alongside the tea bag.
Gently push the bat back in place and hold for a few seconds. Once secure, reinforce any weak areas with
more bath melt "glue".
Please
Note: It is okay if some of the bath melt "glue" gets on the
bat or purple sugar. We had no problem
cleaning this up with a toothpick after the bath melts were completely
finished.
22. Once the bath
melts have completely set up, use a toothpick to clean up any visible "glue"
.
23. Finally, carefully angle your
cupcake mold on the side and gently ease the bath melt out of the mold.
Your Berry Bewitching Bath Brews are now ready to use. Enjoy!
To
Use: Place one
bath melt into the bath tub under warm running water. Only one bath melt is needed.
Be Careful:
Your bath
tub will be slippery from the butters once the bath melt has melted.
Please
Note: These bath melts will begin to melt just from physical contact
with the skin. It is not advised to ship
these during the hotter temperature months.
