Scent Stones

1 1/2 cup flour
1/4 cup salt
1/4 teas. alum powder (spice)
1 tablespoon fragrance oil
2/3 cup boiling water approx.
food coloring
Molds (small chocolate molds or soap molds) I mix together all but the food
coloring to start with. Add enough boiling water to make a really stiff dough
(the more water you add the longer they will take to dry out). Then I make
smaller balls in different colors using the food coloring (only add a drop or
two at a time and keep working till mixed completely). (But for grapes I have
mixed pink, purple and green balls and not mixed completely and they look more
realistic) I have also added glitter to some. I use small chocolate molds. So
I would make a small ball of green then a larger ball of pink if I were making
roses. Keep the portion that you are not using covered in saran wrap so it
doesn’t dry out to much. Brush the mold with a little oil so the scent stones
will not stick in the mold. Then I take a little green to fit into the leaf
part of the mold then I take enough pink to fit into the rose part of the mold
and squish it in there really good so the pink and the green will stay stuck
together. Then I take a sharp knife and run it If you have any questions feel
free to ask.

Cut some cardboard.
Wind nylon net around and around till you get what you think is enough.
Slide it off and tie the middle real tight with some strong nylon cord and
leave enough for a loop or put a loop in before you tie it.
Pull the nylon loops out and keep twisting them.
Soon you will have a scrubby.
