In this video, I will show you how I make my game controller bubble bath bomb (which I call Control Freak!). The recipe for this bath bomb is included below, but is from the YouTube Channel of Karen at Eden's Secret (be sure to check out her channel!!):

This recipe works fabulously in the pressed plastic mold used to make this game controller bubble bath bomb. I will walk you through the steps to make it and paint it, plus demo at the very end so you can see the voluminous bubbles!!
The recipe is as follows:
1200g (7.05oz) Sodium Bicarbonate
18 g SLSA
12g (0.4oz) Fragrance Oil (I used grape soda from Wholesale Supplies Plus - Crafter's Choice)
12g (.4oz)Carrier Oil (I use fractionated coconut)
19g (0.67oz) Witch Hazel
575g (20.28oz) Citric Acid
💥Ingredient lists are below (and some links are affiliate links, so if you make a purchase I may receive a small commission at no additional cost to you).
I've tried to provide a few options for materials so if you are just a hobbyist and want to give this a try, you don't have to buy a ton of ingredients. You can also do the math and downsize the recipe to a smaller batch size. I get about 13 controllers out of this batch size.
If you are already a soaper, you probably already have everything except the mold, which I will link here:
