  1. Citric acid is sold for home canning tomatoes so check the canning supply area of your store for it.

  2. i hate to admit that these were ugly when i first saw them and almost didnt make them but im glad i did! these turned out so well as party favours to my cupcake decorating b-day party!

  3. Citric acid you can find in the baking ailse normally.

    This is like a bath bomb, but personally when I make mine I use either with hazel distillate or if none is handy, vodka works also. Only because when you use water, you risk prematurely setting the mixture off and making it fizz before you want it to.

    Witch hazel in a spray bottle works best, or Vodka, as I said, I use this method because With hazel and Vodka both evaporate more quickly than water and the curing time is lessened.

    Hope I helped anyone,
