Last week’s solutions<br />

Ingredients:<br />

• 1 cup water<br />

or 1 cup<br />

liquid potpourri<br />

• 2 individual<br />

envelopes<br />

of<br />

unflavoured gelatin<br />

• 1 tbsp salt<br />

• 20 drops of your favourite<br />

essential oils (only if you’re<br />

using water)<br />

• Heat-safe containers<br />

• Food colouring (optional)<br />

• Silk flowers (optional)<br />

1. In a small saucepan on the<br />

stove, heat 3/4 cups of water<br />

(or liquid pot-pourri) and the<br />

salt. When the salt is completely<br />

dissolved, slowly add the gelatin,<br />

and stir until that is completely<br />

dissolved as well. If you add the<br />

gelatin too quickly, it might get a<br />

little sticky and clumpy, but just<br />

keep stirring until it dissolves.<br />

2. Remove the saucepan from the<br />

heat and then add the remaining<br />

liquid. Stir until fully blended,<br />

and pour the mixture into the<br />

containers of your choice.<br />

3. Now add your essential oils<br />

(only if you used water). You can<br />

always add more or less essential<br />

oils based on your preference, and<br />

you can do different oils in each air<br />

freshener!<br />

4. Some silk flowers and a drop or<br />

two of food colouring can make<br />

them look prettier. Now that<br />

your air fresheners are scented,<br />

coloured and decorated, let them<br />

cool to room temperature.<br />

You don’t have to add a lid, but<br />

the gel will dry out a little faster<br />

without a lid. Just a couple of<br />

punches through a standard lid will<br />

work perfectly.•<br />
