What You’ll Need
- Scented chalks
- Decorative materials (e.g., ribbons, glitter, flowers)
- Mod Podge or craft glue
- Paintbrushes
- Sealer spray (optional)
Step 1: Choose Your Scented Chalks
Start by selecting the scented chalks you want to decorate. You can find scented chalks in various colors and fragrances at craft stores or online. Consider scents that complement the theme of your craft project or opt for a mix of different fragrances for more variety.
Step 2: Prepare Your Decorative Materials
Gather your decorative materials to add a personalized touch to your scented chalks. Ribbons, glitter, dried flowers, or even small trinkets can be used to enhance the visual appeal of your craft. Make sure the materials you choose are suitable for adhesive application.
Step 3: Decorate the Chalks
Start by applying a thin layer of Mod Podge or craft glue onto the surface of the chalk. Use a paintbrush to spread the adhesive evenly. This will help the decorative materials to adhere better.
Next, gently press your chosen decorative materials onto the chalk. You can wrap ribbons around the chalk or sprinkle glitter over the adhesive layer. Experiment with different combinations to create unique designs.
Step 4: Let It Dry
Allow the decorated chalks to dry completely. This may take a few hours, depending on the adhesive and materials used. Avoid touching or moving them before they are fully dry to prevent any damage to the design.
Step 5: Seal the Decoration (Optional)
If you want to preserve the decoration for a longer period, consider using a sealer spray. This will protect the decorative materials from getting damaged over time. Follow the instructions on the sealer spray for best results.
Step 6: Enjoy Your Beautiful Fragrant Crafts
Now that your scented chalks are beautifully decorated, they are ready to be used or gifted. Their delightful fragrances will add an extra touch of joy to your crafting experience. Display them in a decorative bowl or use them for creative purposes such as drawing or writing.
