Solid Perfume Recipe from my Amazing friend Heather:)
My amazing and crafty friend Heather gave me this recipe. We made some the other day and they turned out really cool. I think this would make great little gifts or stocking stuffers too...so you may be seeing that in your future:)
DIY Solid Perfume
1 unscented tealight, broken into small pieces
8 Tbs. petroleum jelly
1 tsp. fragrance oil or about 3 drops of essential oil (perfume grade only- available at most co-ops and health food stores)
Heat petroleum jelly over low heat in double boiler. Stir in tea light until all has been incorporated and melted.
3. Remove from heat. Allow to sit 1-2 minutes then stir in fragrance.
4. Pour or spoon into small containers.
*Heather's Tip #1* I always save my empty tealights after I have burned them. I wash them with warm soapy water and then reuse them for crafts like this one! Pour your mixture back into the clean tealight, let cool, cover in saran wrap and package in sheer colored fabric to give away as gifts!
*Heather's Tip #2* Use a floral fragrance like lavendar, rose or lilac and wrap in pastel colored sheer fabric for Easter basket stuffers... or peppermint oil and green fabric for St. Patrick's Day...
This is a great project to let the little ones exercise their creativity. Johnny wants to make licorice-scented tins? Sure, why not? Little Susie wants to make pineapple jelly bean? If you can find the scents, they can smell like anything! (If you can stand it, that is. Lol.)
