Home fragrances

I, like every housewife, believe that when creating coziness and comfort in a house, not only its interior is important (how the furniture, wallpaper, curtains, carpets and other attributes), but also what kind of atmosphere hovers in it. And to do this, you need to at least eliminate all unpleasant odors from your “abode.” Better yet, fill it with pleasant fresh aromas. And to do this, it is not at all necessary to look for some flavors in stores, many of which smell quite aggressive. For example, I made these beautiful aromatic stones from simple and cheap ingredients, spending only a few minutes on it.



Outwardly, they turned out to be very nice, and the benefits from them are quite noticeable. Now I can say with confidence that making flavors with your own hands is very simple. There would be a desire.
Required components:
• 90 g flour;
• 80 ml. water at room temperature;
• 45 g finely ground salt;
• 6 ml. vegetable oil;
• food coloring – 3 colors;
• essential oil of eucalyptus, lemon and orange – 3 drops each.



Method for making incense stones:
I take three small bowls, pour water (20 ml each), vegetable oil (2 ml each), and add dyes of different colors (red, orange and green). Next I add essential oils (to the orange dye - orange, to the green - eucalyptus, to the red - lemon).



Then I distribute salt (15 g each) and flour (30 g each) in equal quantities into three containers. I mix the ingredients using popsicle sticks.



Now I put on medical gloves (otherwise it will be very difficult to wash my hands after working with dyes) and knead the dough, gradually adding the remaining water.



I form various figures from the dough and lay them out on parchment. And with the help of auxiliary objects (I found buttons in the form of a brush and a pendant from a lace from an old jacket in my household) I decorate each figure with embossing.



I leave them like this until they are completely dry and firm. This will take three days. I put the aromatic stones that have dried well and have not lost their scent into a small transparent bowl (or a vase) and find a suitable place for it in the room.



I placed a vase with pebbles in the nursery on the computer table, where they smelled like a bouquet of aromas for about a week. Then their smell became almost unnoticeable, and to refresh it, I applied a drop of essential oil to each pebble. The room was again filled with a pleasant aroma, which lifted the mood. Which, in fact, was what was required.
