I wanted to make some custom scents for charms, and I couldn't find any new ones at Hobby Lobby, or Michael's so I decided to try and make my own.
♥ What You'll Need:
- Extracts
- Oil
- Bottles
- Labels
- Markers/Pen
You can find these extracts at any grocery store, and their normally used for cooking.
You'll need an odorless oil as the base because the oil will help the scent/extract stick to the clay.
I used Craftsmart bottles that I found at Michael's in the painting section.
I was going to try this with olive oil because that's all I had but olive oil has a distinct smell, and I didn't want every scent I made to have a touch of olive. So I went to GNC and purchased a 16 oz. bottle of grape seed oil, and 16 oz bottle of sweet almond oil. Both are odorless, and the almond oil was on sale for $4.99 (the grape seed oil is $9.99). The bonus is you can use the left over oil on your skin and hair (the grape seed oil isn't as greasy as the almond oil).

In your video you show grape seed oil and almond oil. You mentioned the grape seed oil but not the almond oil. Do I use both at the same time or just one? Thank you.
