Do it yourself (DIY) aroma stones are a simple way to keep your space smelling fresh. Mix flour, salt and boiling water into a dough, then add essential oils and shape into stones. Let them air dry until hardened, and refresh with more oil as needed. A natural air freshener – probably better than store bought!

…I’ll say it is more than likely better than store bought, as store bought have toxic chemicals in them.

How to Make DIY Aroma Stones

Ingredients Needed

• Flour: 1.5 cups (can use all-purpose or whole wheat)
• Salt: 1 cup
• Water: ⅔ cup plus a few tablespoons (boiling)
• Essential Oils: 3-20 drops (depending on preference)
• Optional: Cornstarch, food coloring, or clay for color

Steps to Create Aroma Stones

1. Mix Dry Ingredients: Combine flour, salt, and optional cornstarch in a bowl.
2. Add Water: Pour boiling water into the dry mixture and stir until a dough forms.
3. Knead the Dough: Once cool, knead the dough until smooth.
4. Shape the Stones: Roll the dough into small balls or use molds for different shapes.
5. Dry the Stones: Leave them out to dry for 48 hours or bake at 140 °C (285 °F) for about an hour.
6. Add Essential Oils: Once dry, apply your chosen essential oils to the stones.

How to Use DIY Aroma Stones

• Placement: Set them in bowls, on nightstands, or in drawers to enjoy the scent.
• Refreshing the Scent: When the aroma fades, simply add a few drops of essential oil to rejuvenate the fragrance.

These aroma stones are not only functional but also add a decorative touch to your home, making them a great DIY project for anyone interested in natural home fragrances.
