What You’ll Need:
- Old scented chalk
- Essential oils or fragrance oil
- Plastic bags or containers
- Small brush or cotton swabs
Step 1: Gather Your Materials
Before you begin, make sure you have all the necessary supplies. Collect your old scented chalk, essential oils or fragrance oil, plastic bags or containers, and a small brush or cotton swabs.
Step 2: Prepare the Chalk
Start by collecting all your old scented chalk pieces. Crush them into fine powder using a mortar and pestle. This will make it easier to work with, especially when you refill the chalk sticks later.
Step 3: Add Fragrance
Once you have your chalk powder ready, it’s time to infuse it with a new fragrance. Choose your favorite essential oil or fragrance oil and add a few drops to the powder. Mix well to ensure the fragrance is evenly distributed.
Step 4: Mix and Store
Transfer the scented chalk powder into plastic bags or containers. If you want to create multiple scents, divide the powder accordingly. Seal the bags or containers tightly to prevent any air from entering.
Step 5: Let It Rest
Allow the scented chalk powder to rest for at least 24 hours. This will give the fragrance time to fully infuse into the chalk powder. Be patient, as this waiting period is crucial to achieve the desired scented chalk outcome.
Step 6: Refill Your Chalk Sticks
Now that your scented chalk powder is ready, it’s time to refill your chalk sticks. Take each empty chalk stick and carefully dip it into the scented powder. Gently tap the stick to remove any excess and ensure it’s fully coated with the new scent.
Step 7: Let It Dry
Place the newly refilled scented chalk sticks on a clean surface and let them dry completely. This may take a few hours, but it’s important for the fresh scent to settle before you start using the chalk for your art projects.
Step 8: Enjoy Your Refreshed Perfumed Chalk
Once the scented chalk sticks are dry, they are ready to use! Enjoy the invigorating fragrances as you create beautiful artwork or leave vibrant scents on your chalkboard. With your newfound knowledge of how to refill scented chalk, you can keep the creativity flowing without worrying about running out of your favorite scents.
Remember, making your own scented chalk helps reduce waste and allows you to experiment with different fragrances. Don’t be afraid to mix scents or even create your own unique blends. So gather your materials, get creative, and let your imagination run wild with freshly scented chalk!
