Very often, from traveling to the sea, we bring home as a pebble souvenirs or even whole cobblestones (if, for example, you live near the sea and do in the courtyard alpine slide). But you agree, it is not always possible to stock up the stones, and then stare them on the balcony or in the closet until the time before the time that it may not come at all. Therefore, there is a great option - make stones yourself! And if you want, you can make aromamini with your own hands at all, and then you will have a fragrant candlestick or an excellent replacement of an aroma diameter or a stand for incense will appear. Also, such stones can be used as air fresheners and sachets for a cabinet (to protect against moli and pleasant smell).
It is not enough that Aromakorni is universal to use, for their preparation it will not be necessary a lot of time, and the ingredients will always have every hostess in the house.
Product from salt
The easiest way to make Aromakani is to use salt, flour, vegetable oil, food dyes of the desired colors and essential oils that you like or suitable for certain purposes.
So, take:
- 0.5 cup of salt;
- 0.5 cups of flour;
- Dyes;
- 1/3 glasses of water;
- Essential oils (from 5 to 15 drops, depending on the desired fragrance);
- 1 tsp. vegetable oil.
First mix salt, flour and spices. In a separate glass, we mix warm water, dyes and oils. Do not forget about vegetable oil. We thoroughly mix the liquid ingredients and gently enter it into a bowl of dry.
We mix tight, dough.
Pay attention to the advice! If your dough is not sufficiently dense, just add salt and flour.
From the resulting test, we begin to sculpt Aromakani. From such a number of dough, you can make about 20 small pebbles, in size similar to pebbles. The form may be any.

You can divide the ingredients into two parts and knead the dough of different colors so that the stones are even more cute and bright. The main thing is not to forget about the mixture of smells. In order not to guess, use the tables of the combination of aromamasel, which can be easily found on the Internet.
If you want to make prints on the stones, traces, take advantage of various textured things - children's seats, lace, various natural elements. You can also decorate pebbles with different drawings, sparkles and so on.
And when pebbles are dried, they can be folded into a glass vase or decompose on the places intended for them (in the closet, on the table, to the toilet, to the coffee table in the corridor, and so on).
Aromakani from salt, especially made with their own hands, are also a great gift for any holiday!
Using clay
The recipe for such porous, beautiful aromapanese is simple, like the previous one, and almost all the ingredients will certainly have at home. We will measure the amount of ingredients with a disposable plastic cup.
To work, we will need:
- 1 cup of flour;
- 0, 5 cups of cook salt;
- 0, 5 cups of PVA glue;
- 0.5 - 1 cup of warm water;
- 5-15 droplets of essential oils;
- 0.5 - 1 cup of cosmetic clay.
Everything you need is represented in the photo.
We mix the dough. First, mix dry ingredients, then pour glue and gradually interfer water, add a few drops of essential oils. Excess water can be resolved by adding clay.
The dough should turn out dense and should not stick to the hands.
Now from the dough cut out a few pebbles. Forms and dimensions remain at your discretion. If you are planning to make a candlestick, do not forget to make a candle hole at this stage.
And then we neatly put our pebbles on a newspaper or paper and leave them alone until their complete drying.

Option of plaster
For the modeling of flames of plaster, we will need:
- Dry gypsum;
- The form. It is best to use silicone forms;
- Water;
- Thick thread, needle and a small button, if you want to hang your aroma;
- Some plastic or plasticine;
- Crosshead screwdriver.
Immediately explain that plasticine or plastic is needed in order to make a hole in the stone for filling there of essential oils. This is done in case you are planning to decorate stones with acrylic paints or decoupage.
If you are not going to decorate stones, this step can be skipped, as the gypsum absorb the aromamasla perfectly, and the recess may not be needed.
With the subsequent decoration of the stone, it is necessary to first cut out of plasticine or plastle of a small heart rate. Or any other shape, in the form of which you want to make a hole for oils. The finished heart lay out on the bottom of the form, if necessary, fixing it with bilateral scotch.
Next, we divor the plaster. Two or three tablespoons need to be dissolved with water so that the consistency turns out like not very thick sour cream.
We pour the gypsum into the molds so that the plastic figure is covered by about 2-4 mm.
When the gypsum already grabbed a little, we will make a shell for hanging the stone. To do this, make such a simple design of the thread, needles and buttons, as in the photo below.
It is necessary to do it, the punctors are from the inside, so that the needle is outside, and the button remains inside the form.
A few hours later, not until the end, the dried aromacine must be carefully so as not to break, get out of the form and remove the plasticine figurine from it. Also at this stage you can drill with a screwdriver or drill small holes in the pebble. They will also be designed for essential oils. If you do not want to make holes and want to get absolutely smooth peasons, you can drop a few drops of essential oils onto a stone and wear them well into the surface. However, try not to press your fingers so as not to leave traces and dents.

Gypsum dries finally only after a day, or even more, so I'll leave him alone. It is possible to re-organize it absolutely as if it is possible to cover with acrylic paints, take decoupage, paint with stencils, add rhinestones, sequins and so on.
Aromakorni is not only a great way to relax themselves, both both manufacturing and for use, but also bring joy to a close person. Especially good such aromacine will be, if you give it complete with a set of aromamasel.
