Fragrance/Sachet beads will absorb up to 30% fragrance oil!
Must color with oil-based color (candle or lip colors).
Fragrance Beads
are tiny clear beads that absorb fragrance oil. They are perfect to use
in air freshener sachets for your closets, drawers, cars, or even in
your vacuum cleaner. You can also use them in a glass container as
potpourri.
Be sure not to place the scented beads directly on wood or painted surfaces.
Directions
- To
color the bead you will need to add a drop of liquid oil based dye to
your fragrance oil and mix. The beads work the best with 15 to
20% fragrance oils.
- Add your beads to the colored fragrance oil.
- Stir the beads so they are colored evenly.
- Then let the beads dry. They take approximately 24 hours to absorb the fragrance and dry.
- Once the beads are dry you can put them in your containers, sachets, or even use them to stuff animals.
- The fragrance will last different amounts of time depending on the fragrance and the exposure.
- You can put more fragrance in the beads when they start to lose their scent.
These are hard little
beads that will absorb fragrance oil over 1 week. Agitate several times
a day. The beads will absorb the oil and become dry to the touch.
Package in an sachet or organza bag. You can use candle or lip/lotion
bar colors with these beads. Add glitter before color is dry if desire!
