Rainy Day Discoveries

Cleaning out my pantry ended up being quite a creative adventure with my 13 yr old. We found some gelatin needing to be used, and so we made some gelatin air fresheners in some small recycled baby food jars.

You need:
1/2 cup hot water
½ cup cold water
2 sachets gelatin
1 tablespoon of salt
A few drops of food colouring
A few drops of essences or fragrant oils – we chose vanilla essence, peppermint essence and lavender oil.

You mix the gelatin in with the hot water until all dissolved. Add in your 1 Tablespoon salt, 1/2 cup cold water, your food colouring and mix well. Then pour into your jar, add in your fragrance and stir. Let it sit 2-3 days. Do not refridgerate. Enjoy the smells.

I made one for my car as well and my daughter made one for her sports shoes bag and punched a few holes in the jar lid and voila.

Other ingredients we used for this rainy day adventure created raro sherbet, choc chip lip gloss, bath bombs and salt scrubs…
