Description
Create calming baking soda worry stones to help center your thoughts and release stress through a simple DIY craft.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup baking soda
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- Water (gradually, about 1 tablespoon at a time)
- Essential oils (optional, like lavender or chamomile)
- Mixing bowl
- Baking sheet
- Wax paper or parchment paper (optional)
- Cookie cutters or molds (optional)
Instructions
- Start by measuring one cup of baking soda and half a cup of cornstarch. Pour them into a mixing bowl and notice the fine texture as you sift the ingredients together.
- Slowly add water, a tablespoon at a time, mixing gently. Feel the mixture begin to combine, turning light and fluffy. Aim for a dough that holds its shape.
- Once you achieve the desired consistency, add a few drops of your chosen essential oil.
- Begin kneading the dough. Enjoy the quiet rhythm of this motion, allowing thoughts to drift with each knead.
- Roll the dough into small balls and then flatten them into oval shapes. Each stone can be unique in size and form.
- Place each stone on a baking sheet lined with wax or parchment paper.
- Let the stones air dry for 24 to 48 hours, or until they feel hard.
Notes
Keep the stones in a dry place and wipe with a soft cloth to clean. They can be refreshed with new essential oils if desired.
