Combine all of the ingredients. Using a fork or spoon, gently stir your ingredients together. Do not over-stir your ingredients, or the soap will begin to bubble and foam. Transfer your ingredients into a seal-able container. Pour your bubble bath mixture into a seal-able container—use a funnel if you can to. You can use anything for your container that can be closed tightly, such as: mason jars, glass bottles with screw on caps, or glass bottles with corks.
Personalize your bubble bath bottle by making a label for it. Embellish your bottle by decorating it with stick-on gems or tying string around it. The glycerin may settle to the bottom of the container. This is normal, because it is heavier than both the soap and water.
Simply give your bottle or jar a little shake and swirl before you use your bubble bath. Let the bubble bath cure before using it. You will need to wait 24 hours before using your bubble bath. This allows the mixture to cure. Part 3. Add a note of sweetness with vanilla and honey.

Part 4. Start filling your tub with water. Put the plug into the drain and start running the water. Use a temperature that you are comfortable with.
Let the water run for a few minutes. Do not fill the entire tub just yet. Pour the bubble bath into the stream of running water. Be sure that you are pouring it under the running water; this will help the bubble bath to foam up. You should see rich, frothy bubbles taking shape in your tub. Fill the tub to your liking. Let the water run until it is as deep as you like it. Remember, the deeper the water is, the longer it will retain its heat.
Agitate the water if necessary. To help fluff the bubbles up even more, stick your hand into the water and move it back and forth quickly. It is okay if you splash the water about. After a while you should see the bubbles begin to foam up even more. Keep in mind, however, that your homemade bubble bath may not produce as many bubbles as a store-bought one.
Step into the tub and soak.
