Our Aroma Beads can also be used to make scented ornaments and car air fresheners around! We came up with this idea and method for making Aroma Ornies™ while trying to think of some creative and original new uses for our products. Ornies and cardboard auto air fresheners are a hot item these days, but our Aroma Ornies™ have some huge advantages! Aroma Ornies™ are translucent, so they look beautiful in the sunlight! They can be easily colored with liquid candle dyes for a rainbow of shades! They hold a much larger fragrance load for a stronger & longer lasting scent! They can be made in any shape you want! Hang them in a sunny window for an even stronger fragrance release!*
*Be aware that the inside of an automobile can reach extreme temperatures in hot weather. We recommend testing your ornaments in such conditions before selling just to be safe! If you make the ornies too thin they may melt in the sun!

Directions:

First make your scented & colored Aroma Beads as directed. Choose metal cookie cutters in the shapes & sizes you want for your ornaments. Lay them on a metal non-stick cookie sheet. Fill each shape with the beads, completely covering the bottom with a layer about 1/4" deep. Bake in the oven at 350 degrees for about 5 - 10 minutes or until you can see that the beads have melted together. Baking times will vary with different ovens. Watch them carefully!
*Note: They will not be smooth like glass, they will be bumpy.
*If you want a hole in the top for hanging, stand a flat head nail on it's head where you want the hole to be.
Remove from oven with pot holders, and set on stove top to cool. A small amount of smoking is normal when they first come out. Allow tray to cool completely before touching! Next, carefully remove the cookie cutters.
*I prefer to cool mine in the freezer for a few minutes, which helps them release from the cookie cutters easier.
Once you remove the cutters, your ornament will be stuck to the pan, but it will peel off the non-stick metal fairly easily. Don't be alarmed if it feels stuck. They may feel like they won't budge at first, but once you start to pull it up it will peel off.
*Note: Cold may help release them easier! Try putting the tray in your freezer!
Peel the shapes off the sheet, and they are done! You can use a sharp tipped object like a nail to make a small hole near the top, and string some thin cord through to hang it with. Or try using a paper hole punch for thicker ribbon!
