How to make scented plasters step by step

“Creativity is a journey, not a destination.”
Follow these steps to achieve a clean and professional result.

with 30 g of cold water. Mix until you get a smooth, lump-free mixture.

3. Adding the fragrance

Add a few drops of scented essence directly into the mixture and mix well. Don't overdo it: a few drops are enough for a delicate and long-lasting scent.

4. Pouring

Slowly pour the mixture into the molds. Tap gently to eliminate any air bubbles.

5. Waiting and demolding

After about 30 minutes, you can demold your scented plasters. For complete solidification, wait 24 hours before decorating or packaging them.
