Ingredients
For the Scented DIY Aroma Stones
- 2 cups white all-purpose flour base of the dough
- 1 cup salt helps preserve stones and adds firmness
- 1 cup cornstarch keeps dough smooth and easy to mold
- 1 cup cooled boiled water activates dry ingredients to form dough
- 10 drops essential oils your choice of scent such as lavender, eucalyptus, peppermint, or cinnamon

Instructions
- Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups flour, 1 cup salt, and 1 cup cornstarch. Mix thoroughly with a whisk or your hands until well blended.
- Step 2: Gradually add 1 cup cooled boiled water to the dry mixture while stirring. Mix until a soft, pliable dough forms. Knead by hand if needed.
- Step 3: Add 10 drops of your chosen essential oils and 2 tablespoons of mica powder or food coloring. Knead the dough well to evenly distribute color and scent.
- Step 4: Pinch off small pieces of dough and shape into stones—oval, flat disks, or press in small designs or textures if desired.

Notes
Store your aroma stones in a cool, dry place to keep them firm and fresh. Refresh scent by adding more essential oil drops as needed. Avoid baking to prevent cracking. These stones make beautiful handmade gifts and add a cozy touch to any space.
