This was so fast and so easy to do, and they work! My friend and I made them using leftover candle jars as the holders. I think next time I’ll use votive size candle holders so that I can make them smaller – they’d make perfect gifts. We also talked about making cup-holder sized ones to fit in the car.
My only advice for anyone else – you won’t notice the scent as much if you have a fan going. When I was running an oscillating fan in my room, I couldn’t smell it. But, without the fan on, it was just perfect.

These look like a lot of fun! Can you tell me about how long they last?
Rebecca on 4.7.2010
Auntjen- I’m going to say they last about 4 weeks. If you really double up on the salt/vodka to inhibit the mold growth you can probably stretch them out to 6 weeks, though.

Do they melt away? Or just slowly lose scent..great idea!

You also need to let it cool to about 100 degrees because almost ALL essential oils have a flash point which means the scent will evaporate and be almost non-existent if they are heated above a certain temperature, that’s why you put them in after trace when making handmade natural soaps.
I am anxious to try this to be used for car fresheners and closets also since it seems almost identical to the high priced retail versions .

What a neat idea! I’ll have to try this. Thanks!
