Scented sachets are dry pouch or purse fragrances that are used to make bed linen smell good when stored. Now you will learn how to make an original waxy scent that can be hung in a closet, placed in a bathroom, or placed under a pillow to inhale the natural and beautiful classic scent of roses, the soothing scent of lavender, which reduces stress and repels moths, or the woody scent of sandalwood, which improves mood and reduces anxiety.
Materials and tools:
- waxed paper;
- foundation or beeswax;
- stove pot;
- an empty large tin can;
- kitchen tongs;
- wooden stirrer or spatula;
- essential oils (rose, lavender, sandalwood or any other);
- fresh or dried flowers that can be replaced with artificial flowers or decorations of your choice;
- mold for stamping soap;
- a utility knife;
- a lighter or other source of flame;
- long nail or steel skewer (optional);
- jute twine (optional);
- tip.
Step 1
Cover the surface with wax paper. If you will be using foundation, cut it into several pieces, taking into account that they should fit on the bottom of the tin. Set them aside.
Step 2
Pour water into a pot so that the level is about 3 cm, and place a can in the pot.
Step 3
When the water boils, hold the can with tongs and place the beeswax pieces in it. The heat will melt the wax. Stir it with a wooden stirrer or skewer until it is completely melted. Add a few drops of your preferred essential oil to the melted scent wax and stir.
Step 4
Place fresh or dried flowers or any decorative ornaments in a stamping soap mold. If using dried flowers, place them face down as the bottom of the mold will become the top of the wax sachet.
Step 5
Slowly fill each soap dish halfway with wax and gently press the flowers into the wax with a wooden stick.
Step 6
Place the remaining flowers on top if you want the flowers to be visible on both sides of the sachet.
Step 7
Add wax to fill the mold and place it in the freezer for 15-20 minutes.
Step 8
Remove the mold from the freezer and turn it upside down. The wax piece should peel off easily from the mold, but if it sticks, you need to pick it up a little with a knife.
Step 9
If necessary, remove excess wax from the edges of the tile with a knife.
Sasha is ready, but you can make a pendant to it.
Step 10
Heat a nail or iron rod with a lighter or other flame source and, while hot, gently pierce the wax tile with it.
Tip: It's best to poke a hole in the back of the sachet to make it tidier in the front.
Step 11
Pull the string through the hole in the tile and hang the sachet wherever you like.
You got the original sachet, didn't you?
