Description
Create charming and fragrant clay fresheners that enhance your home decor naturally and safely.
Ingredients
- Air-dry clay (white or colored)
- Essential oils of your choice (e.g., lavender, lemon, eucalyptus)
- Rolling pin
- Cookie cutters or molds
- Toothpick or skewer (for adding holes)
- Baking sheet (if required for baking clay)
- Sandpaper (optional, for smooth edges)
Instructions
- Prepare Your Workspace: Find a clean, flat surface to work on and gather all materials needed for the project.
- Roll Out the Clay: Take a portion of air-dry clay and knead it until it’s soft and pliable. Use a rolling pin to flatten the clay to about ¼ inch thick.
- Cut Your Shapes: Use cookie cutters or molds to cut desired shapes from the flattened clay.
- Create Holes for Hanging: Use a toothpick or skewer to make a hole at the top of each shape for hanging options.
- Add the Fragrance: Choose your essential oil and mix a few drops directly into the clay or press it into the surface of the shapes.
- Let It Dry: Place shapes on a baking sheet or drying rack. Allow them to air dry for 24–48 hours, or follow the manufacturer’s instructions if baking is needed.
- Hang or Place in Desired Area: Once dry, thread a string through the holes or simply place the fresheners in your desired location.
