Teresa's Homemade Smell Gels
- 1 (16 ounce) bottleliquid pot pourri concentrate essential oils (Your favorite scent)
- 4 envelopes powdered gelatin, unflavored,such as knoxx brand
- In pot, bring liquid pot pourri to full boil.
- Remove from heat, add powdered gelatin and whisk until fully dissolved.
- Ladle into votive jars, cover loosely with paper towels, and allow to sit, undisturbed, for at least 8 hours or overnight.
- Yield for this recipe depends on size of votive jar used, but if using the standard size, the yield is usually 3 smell gels for every 16 ounces of liquid pot pourri.
- An example of the size votive jar I use to get 3 smell gels would be the scented candles made by Glade; I have actually used those for my jars after the candle has been used up.
- After smell gels have fully hardened, set the jars throughout your home; I keep one on each bedside table, in the bathroom, and on my coffee table/end tables in the living room; Smell gels provide a wonderful fragrence to your home, without being overpowering, and last for several weeks.
