Ingredients

Scale

1 cup water (½ cup cold, ½ cup hot)
1 packet (0.25 oz) unflavored gelatin
1 tablespoon salt (this helps preserve and prevents mold!)

Optional: Dried flowers, herbs, glitter, or beads for decoration

Instructions

Step 1: Bloom the Gelatin

Sprinkle the gelatin over ½ cup of cold water in a bowl. Let it sit 5–10 minutes until it “blooms”—this is when it absorbs the liquid and becomes jelly-like.

Step 2: Heat the Water

While the gelatin is blooming, heat the remaining ½ cup of water until it’s steaming but not boiling.

Step 3: Dissolve the Gelatin

Pour the hot water over the bloomed gelatin and stir until completely dissolved.

Step 4: Add Salt & Essential Oils

Stir in the salt and your essential oil drops. This is where your scent comes to life—feel free to mix and match!

Step 5: Add Color & Decor (Optional)

If desired, add food coloring and sprinkle in dried herbs, flowers, or glitter for that extra flair.

Step 6: Pour Into Jars

Carefully pour the mixture into your chosen containers. Let them cool and solidify completely (usually takes a few hours at room temp).

Step 7: Enjoy!

Place your jars wherever you want a burst of freshness—bedroom, bathroom, office, even your car (in a cup holder!).
