    Separating mixture into 3 bowls
  • In one of the larger bowls, add red dye until you've reached the color you like.
    Adding red dye
  • Gradually add small amounts of water and mix it in until the consistency feels like wet sand.

  • In the smaller bowl, mix in the black dye and water until it's the same wet sand consistency.

  • In the bigger bowl, only add the water until it's the same wet sand consistency. (This will stay white)

  • Fill in almost half of each of the plastic ornaments or bath bomb molds - one with red and the other with white. Leave a small and even gap towards the top of the molds.

  • Use a spoon and/or your finger to remove a half-circle of the mixture along the edge of each bath bomb mold.
  • Layer in a stripe of the black bath bomb mixture to each half of the molds and again, make another curve on top of the first ones.
    Adding black stripe
  • Fill in the curved out area of each half with the white mixture as this is the button of the Pokeball. (If you want to add in a plastic Pokemon, this would be the time to place it in). Press the bath bomb molds together and wipe away any excess mixture.

Notes

Tip: To create crisp lines, use a paper towel to lightly compress each side before adding in the black stripe. Look around the mold to make sure it's even.
