Add to 2-3 ounces of fragrance oil per pound of beads in a glass container with a lid. Be careful not to add too much fragrance oil. You can add additional oil if you feel the need, however adding more oil is not necessarily going to make the beads smell longer. Some fragrance oils absorb faster than others.
Slowly add the beads to the glass jar. BE SURE THE LID IS ON TIGHT! Shake the beads when all has been added to disperse the color and oil throughout. The beads should be completely wet. Vigorously shake beads for a minute or two to be sure they are all mixed. Depending on the weight of the fragrance oil, your beads could take from a few hours to a day or two before the beads are complete. If it is not soaking up as fast as you would like, you can add additional beads. Every time you walk by your beads, pick up the container and shake them. Don't leave them in the jar for too long. Normally they will "cure" quickly. Citrus oils will also usually cure quicker. When the beads are done, they should be dry to the touch and the jar should shake clean of beads on the sides. Most oils will cure within a 24 hours or less. Heavier oils could take 2-3 days to cure; just remember to give the jar a shake from time to time while wet! The beads will melt at 150 - 190 degrees F. Remember this if you have them in your car on the dashboard, while living in a hot climate! Do not use the beads in a potpourri burner. Always keep the beads out of the reach of children and animals. Oils can seep through some types of containers and packaging materials. Be sure beads have absorbed all of the oil before using. |
