Learn how to create beautiful scented decor with DIY Aroma Stones using simple ingredients and essential oils.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup baking soda
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- 1/2 cup water
- 20–30 drops of essential oils (your choice)
- Food coloring (optional)
- Silicone molds (various shapes)
- Wax paper or parchment paper for drying
Instructions
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the baking soda and cornstarch. Mix well until fully combined.
- Add Water: Slowly pour in the water, stirring continuously until the mixture becomes smooth.
- Incorporate Oils: Add in your selected essential oils. The more drops you use, the stronger the fragrance will be. Stir well to ensure even distribution.
- Choose Colors: If desired, you can add a few drops of food coloring to achieve your preferred color. Mix until the color is uniform.
- Prep the Molds: Lay out silicone molds on a flat surface. You can create different shapes or stick to one type.
- Fill Molds: Carefully pour the mixture into the molds, smoothing the top with a spatula or spoon.
- Remove Air Bubbles: Gently tap the filled molds on the counter to release any air bubbles trapped in the mixture.
- Cover for Drying: Place the molds in a warm, dry area. Cover with a thin towel to prevent dust from settling on top.
- Wait for Curing: Allow your aroma stones to dry for 24 hours. They should harden completely.
- Unmold: Once fully dry, carefully remove the stones from the molds.
Notes
- Ensure the area is warm and dry for best drying results.
