Hi all,
I was thinking about trying to make the scented (potpourri) stones
and was wondering if anyone else here has tried them. And if you
have , have you had any success at selling them or any positive (or
negative) comments about them?? I have thought about even making the
bowl they set in as well. Any ideas??
Thanks for your help. . .

What kind of stones do you use? Where can ya buy fragrance oils cheapest.or
best quality for the money?
I like to burn the oils in the burners or the electric heaters
and they last a long time it seems. Infusers is the word.lol
I brroke one glass dish,I added oil when it was already hot and that’s a no
no…lol But I found some that are stainless
steel and they won’t break.much nicer to put oils in!!!

Can anybody tell me what scented stones are? I have seen them in a
couple of places for sale, but don’t know exactly what they are. I
do know that they are made in several sizes and shapes, but don’t
know what they are made of. I hope somebody here can help.
Thanks

Hello Charise,
I read these posts everyday just to learn something new and
seldom do I actually have an answer to somebody’s question. But
this one I have! I copied this recipe from someplace on the net and
did make them once. There pretty cool. I like to add them to gift
baskets just for something different.
Recipe:
1/2 Cup plain flour
1/2 Cup salt
1/4 tsp. E/O (your choice)
2/3 Cups boiling water
Food coloring
mix dry ingredients well. Add essential oil and boiling water to
dry ingredients. Mix well again. Scent will be strong but will
fade slightly when dry. Add food coloring 1 drop at a time till
desired shade is reached. Add color to whole batch or divide and add
different colors.
Form into different sized shapes and sizes to look like stones.
Allow to dry.
I also like to make “Oatmeal Milk Bath Balls” They too are cool for
gift baskets.
Recipe: “Oatmeal Milk Bath Balls”
1 Cup cornstarch or arrowroot powder
2 Cups milk powder (I blend this even finer in my blender)
1/2 Cup “finely” ground oatmeal
4 to 6 oz. Shea/Coconut Butter
1/4 tsp. E/O
Melt butter. Add E/O to dry ingredients, mix well. Mix the oil to
the dry and form into small balls (I have never had luck forming
into molds). Wrap in sturdy saran and tie w/bow.
Hope this helps!
