Smelly Goods {Tutorial}

Ever see those decorative water beads? Well how about some with a scent, like a reed diffuser or potpourri? Really easy item to decorate with and they can give your room a great smell. I have done these a few diffrent ways over the years. Mainly with the crystals and scent oils but this was a quick thing with some times I had on hand.


You Need
Vase (or something to hold them in)
Water Beads (Dehydrated.) Or Crystals
Liquid Potpourri, Diffuser Oil, or any scent oils 
(if using pure scent oils add some water to diffuse the scent a little since the beads absorb a lot of liquid.)
Food Dye (Optional)


Pour beads (amount depends on the size of vase) into vase and add liquid. If your liqiud is clear or not dark enough add a few drops of dye, color of your choice, and let the beads hydrate.

Tah dah!


Fast simple and smells great!

I did of course decorate the vase a little after this. Sorry no pictures. ):
