But before you get started, I would like to go over the materials and instructions to point a few things out.
First, let’s take a look at the ingredients. Some of the ingredients are easy to find at your local grocery store (I am looking at you cornstarch and pumpkin spice).
But other ingredients may be easier to order online. Amazon is my go to for all things DIY bath & body, so I have included Amazon affiliate links to all the hard-to-find supplies below so that you can find them easily.

How to Make Pumpkin Spice Bath Bombs
When you are ready to make your bath bombs you will preheat your oven while you mix together all the ingredients.
Once the ingredients are well mixed, you will press them firmly into the mold. I have found that using the back of a spoon to press down the mixture helps to get it really packed in there.
Then, and this part is vital, turn off your oven.
Yes, you read that right. You want to turn the oven off before placing the bath bombs into it. This is because you don’t want to “cook” your bath bombs, you just want to help accelerate the drying time.
After an hour you will remove the bath bomb mold from the oven and let it set at room temperature to finishing setting. Do not try to remove your bath bombs from the mold until they are fully set. To try and remove them early could cause them to fall apart. Patience, please.
Once the bath bombs are fully set, go ahead and gently pop them out of the mold. This is where having a silicone mold really comes in handy. Silicone molds are so flexible that removing them is easy peasy.
I hope that you enjoy these terrific pumpkin spice bath bombs.
