Cost: $5
Equipment
- 1 Tray or cutting board
- 1 Small bowl
- 1 Sponge paint brush
- 1 Wire cooling rack
- 1 Jar for storage
Materials
- 1 sheet rice paper wafer paper
- 3 tablespoons liquid castile soap
- 2-4 drops natural soap dye
- 20 drops essential oils
Instructions
- Squirt three tablespoons of liquid Castile soap into a bowl. Add 20 drops of essential oil and up to 4 drops dye, depending on how deep of a color you want. Mix well.
- Lay the wafer paper on a tray or board and paint it with this soap mixture. Dip a foam paint brush in the liquid, dab it off, and drag the tip from one side of the paper across to the other. Flip the paper over and continue on the other side. Each pass should be fairly thin; continue until the paper is saturated. Use multiple layers as needed.
- Transfer the painted paper to a cooling rack and let it dry for a few hours.
- Once dry, punch out confetti shapes with a hole punch or craft paper punch. Continue cutting until all the paper is in small pieces.
- Store bath confetti in an airtight container until use. Don’t get a single piece wet before adding it to the bath! If you like, add a decorative label and store the jar away for later.
