When was the last time you took a good look into some store bought glitter bubble bath?
Buying ready made products for kids that are in any way associated with Disney or some other gimmick can be so expensive – and it does not necessarily mean that they are any good!
Recently on holiday I bought some glitter bubbles as a treat for the kids – and they loved it!
I was really expecting something magical about the glitter inside and some super innovative component that makes this extra special – and expensive!
Here is the amazing part – when I started dissecting the glitter = that I thought must be dissolvable and fake – I found regular glitter – like non dissolvable regular craft glitter!!
I then decided to make my own!
I knew it would be a hit – as anything sparkly we LOVE – and of course add a little blue tint and make it like FROZEN, well that is ALWAYS a winner!!
Glitter Bubble Bath – Ingredients and Materials
- Bottle (Glass Bottle
or Plastic Bottle
) to hold the finished product
- Bubble Bath – or if you prefer to make wash gel you could also add this. The advantage of choosing your own is that you know what is in it – especially if your child has a sensitive skin. I went for a bubble bath that was slightly pearly in color – but anything clear or white is fine.
- Glitter
- Food Coloring
– if you want to tint it slightly
Glitter Bubble Bath Method:
- Add the desired amount of bubble bath (or wash gel) to a container (I used 1 cup) I used these – because they are great for storage – and gifts!
- To this add Glitter
– I used a teaspoon of silver and a teaspoon of purple as I was going for Disney Frozen colors
- If you want to color it – do so ever so slightly – as you don’t want a blue bath – or child. I used blue food coloring – the tip of a tooth pick amount (really tiny amount.) I use this one
- Once all ingredients are in the container give it a good shake!
There you have it! Glitter Bubble Bath!
Finished! Great gifts! Great surprises!!
Easy and Cheap. I will be making these as party favors at the end of the month!

What brand of soap did you use for this please?
Hi! We used baby soap for sensitive skin, any clear baby/kids soap will do!
Hope this helps!
Please don’t use regular store glitter. It’s not good to bathe in. Instead use cosmetic glitter or mica on anything that’s going near your mucus membranes.
This must have a wonderful impact on the sea creatures that ingest the glitter ?. Sorry, I don’t mean to ‘troll’ your post, but would edible glitter work? Or even crystal grinds? Just a thought.
That’s fair, and correct. I’ll have a look into edible glitter – and other non destructive shiny things! xx
