Title: Would you like Home Fragrancing tutorials?
Post by: kevie192 on November 14, 2009, 06:38:15 PM
Hi all,

I've been thinking lately that it would be nice to make a few tutorials for you lovely people for various home fragrancing items.

I thought I could cover:

  • Wax Tarts/Melts
  • Container Candles
  • Car Fresheners
  • Simmering Granules

Initially they wouldn't have any pictures as I don't think they are really required but I could add some in time if people would like it.

Before I spend a lot of time making these, I wanted to know if people would actually like them and actually use them?

Don't know what the last one is.  ???

YES! YES! would love the wax melts particularly, (I want to make some to replace scented candles that I can no longer buy) but could well find the other useful as well. Very many thanks for such a generous offer :buttrf:

That's really kind, thanks Kev  :buttrf: What are simmering granules?  :)


Title: Re: Would you like Home Fragrancing tutorials?
Post by: kevie192 on November 15, 2009, 06:01:26 PM
They are fragranced and coloured granules that you place in an oil burner with a tealight underneath. The granules heat and release the scent. They're more subtle than melts and once the fragrance fades I pop them in my vacuum cleaner and they fragrance the house as I go (not very often, admittedly!!)

Would love to have some tutorials, thanks! I love scented candles and we use lots at home so I'd love to make some for us to use (also a handy way to use up my tons of 10mls FO's).
