Aromatherapy Jelly Fish Bowl Air Freshener
My mother did a
double-take when she saw this goldfish bowl in my kitchen. I had just finished
making this craft and set the fish bowl on the windowsill, where the sunlight
streamed through, highlighting the fish and the seashells in a most realistic
fashion. Mom had to look twice before she realized the fish were fake!
If you prefer, you can make this craft as a seascape air freshener, using fancy
seashells as the main feature, rather than the artificial fish.
Smelly Jelly Fish Bowl Supplies:
- small artificial goldfish (I found mine at the dollar store, with the rubber snakes and plastic spiders)
- seashells
- water crystals - these polymer, water-absorbing crystals are commonly sold at garden centers or craft stores, and are usually used for floral displays, water retention in gardening, or to make cooling neck ties.
- 4 inch glass bowl
- water
- essential oil plus a drop of non-scented dishwashing liquid,
- teaspoon
- optional: blue or green water coloring
Smelly Jelly Fish Bowl
Instructions:
1. Wash and dry the glass bowl, then add water from a measuring cup, up to the
neck of the bowl. Make a note of the amount of water that was used.
2. Add a few drops of food coloring, if desired.
3. If you are using oil-based fragrance or essential oil, add one drop of
dishwashing liquid per cup of water 10 to 12 drops of essential oil and stir
well.
Add more scent, if desired, until the aroma is as strong as you would like it.
4. Add one teaspoon of crystals per cup of water, stir well, and wait about an
hour for the crystals to fully absorb the water. The gel should be clear and
fairly firm.
5. Add seashells to the bowl, pushing them down to the bottom with a teaspoon.
Once the shells are arranged in a pleasing fashion, add one or two artificial
goldfish.
6. Set the smelly jelly fish bowl on a desk, in a bathroom, or on a windowsill,
where the scent, as well as the goldfish, can be enjoyed by all.
Suggestions:
Over time, the water and scent will evaporate a little. Simply add a little more
water and a few more drops of your fragrance to refresh.
