HOMEMADE AIR FRESHENERS
INGREDIENTS
•
These gel air fresheners are the perfect project! they take a total of five minutes to make, are highly economical, and each jar should last you about a month. These would also make great gifts!
•
To make these little beauties, you first need heat-proof jars, food coloring, and essential oil. You can find inexpensive essential oils of various scents at craft stores and some grocery stores. I chose a raspberry scented oil...it smells delightful
•
Into each jar, drop a few drops (I repeat...a few...it doesn't take more than 2 or 3) of food coloring.
•
Then, put in about 30 drops of essential oil, give or take. The more essential oil you put in, the stronger the smell.
•
Now for the fun part. Gather up 4 envelopes of unflavored gelatin, a tablespoon of salt, and 2 cups of cold water.
•
Why salt? Salt (or vodka) apparently help to keep the gel from molding. Interesting fact, isn't it?!?
•
Get one cup of water boiling on the stove. When it begins to boil, whisk in the gelatin, stirring until it's all dissolved.
•
Then, pour in the other cup of cold water and the salt, stirring until the salt is dissolved.
