Candles: Smelly Jelly Jars
June 19th, 2008Smelly jelly jars are similar to your traditional jelly jars in shape, but the lids usually have slots or wholes in them to release the scents into the air. Smelly jelly, what is that, right? Well, it is not edible like your normal jams and jellies, but it is actually an air freshener or fragrance treatment for your house or home.
Many people like to make smelly jelly, and it is actually quite simple, and a similar process to making gel candles. For this reason, you can purchase the supplies you will need at candle maker stores or through a wholesale supplier. Most smelly jellies are made from distilled water, water crystals, fragrance oil, and liquid candle dye or colorant.
Decorative Smelly Jelly Jars
Many people like to use the traditional jelly style jars for their smelly jelly, but you can also use decorative bottles or glass containers as well. You can also add some papier-mâche or beaded work to your jars for some personal decorating touches. Some jars can come with nice etching or frosted work done on them, and you can find many other artistic designs available as well.
Smelly jelly jars make nice gifts to your family and friends, and you can make as many different fragrances and colors as you like. This can be a nice decorative air freshener idea for any bathroom, kitchen or cat box closet area. You can also use a citronella fragrance for your smelly jelly, and place some decorative jars on your patio or porch.
