Materials

  • Baking soda (easy to find in most kitchens)
  • Cornstarch (substitutes like arrowroot powder can work)
  • Water (the base for binding)
  • Essential oils (choose your favorite scents, optional for customization)
  • Food coloring (optional, for color variations)
  • Mixing bowl (for your materials)
  • Rolling pin (to shape the dough)
  • Cookie cutters (or desired shapes)
  • Baking sheet (for drying or baking the stones, depending on your method)

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl, combine one cup of baking soda and a half cup of cornstarch. Feel the soft grains slipping through your fingers as you mix.
  • Slowly add in a half cup of water, stirring gently, until you achieve a dough-like consistency. Listen to the sounds of the ingredients blending.
  • If desired, add a few drops of essential oils. Inhale deeply as the scents begin to mingle, noticing how they transform the atmosphere.
  • If you wish for a splash of color, incorporate food coloring into the dough. Knead it gently to distribute the color evenly.
  • Once your dough is ready, dust a clean surface with a little cornstarch to prevent sticking. Roll the dough out with a rolling pin to about half an inch thick.
  • Use cookie cutters to create your desired shapes. This is where your creativity can shine.
  • Place the stones on a baking sheet. If using direct heat, you can choose to bake them at a low temperature for a few hours; otherwise, allow them to air dry for 24-48 hours.
  • Once dry, reinforce the scents by adding a few more drops of essential oil to the stones. Let them absorb the oils for a little while.
  • Enjoy the delightful aromas as they fill your space, a gentle reminder of the comforting moments spent crafting them.
