Great as room fresheners!
You will need:
One ceramic or glass bowl
1/2 cup flour (do not use self-rising flour)
1/4 cup salt
1/2 tablespoon alum (available in drug stores)
1 tablespoon essential or fragrance oil
2/3 cup boiling water and food coloring (optional).
Directions:
In ceramic or glass bowl, thoroughly mix dry ingredients.Add essential oil and boiling water.
NOTE: Scent will be strong, but will fade slightly when pastilles dry. For colored dough, blend in food coloring one drop at a time until desired shade is achieved.Blend ingredients to form a ball.Working with a small amount at a time, roll dough between palms of hands to form small balls.Note: cover unused dough to keep it from drying out. Allow pastilles to dry.

Hi, can you tell me what exactly Alum is? I ordered it at my drug store and they came up with Aluminium Acetate.Is that it? If not can you tell me the full name of Alum? I would really appreciate it.
Thanks

Hope this helps. If I find anymore info I will let you know.
So its not Aluminum acetate. I still have no idea what it is lol. My pharamist got me aluminum acetate but since I have no idea what it is I didnt buy it. Do you know if its in liquid form or solid? This is really driving me nuts! One of the receipes call for it and I dont know what it is. It says to get it at your drugstore but unless I have the full name I dont know what to ask for. Thanks for your help,I appreciate it
