|
1/2 cup flour
1 Tablespoon salt
3 Tablespoons water
3 cups freshly chopped flower petals or herbs
A very few drops of Essential Oil to complement scent of flowers or herbs is optional. It can be added to the water before mixing.
Mix flour, salt and water together to form a dough.
Kneed in petals or herbs.
Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
Form into beads, your choice of size, use a toothpick to make holes thru them let air dry for 2-3 days. Roll them around frequently to keep from having flat spots. Or you could thread then onto a string and hang them to dry.
Dried leaves of a scented Geranium hold thier fragrance very well and no additional EO is needed.
Essential Oil is used because it will hold it's scent much longer than the Fragrance Oils will.
