How to make an antique Florentine sachet. Video Master class Handicraft product Casting Florentine paraffin sachet with therapeutic effect Wax paraffin Natural material. Preparation of fragrant aroma plates

There are still two whole months before the New Year, but it's time to start preparing small gifts and souvenirs for your family and friends. Wax aroma sachets can become a nice and useful present.

They are easy to make yourself, and the fragrances will remind you of your favorite holiday for another 2-3 months.
The most New Year's fragrances are primarily the smells of pine needles and tangerines. The second most popular flavor is mulled wine: tart notes of wine are intertwined with the freshness of orange and the dark velvet of spices. Subsequent places are occupied by ginger-chocolate, walnut-almond and apple aromas. This, of course, is not the whole list, because each of us has our own associations of New Year's fragrances.
Based on these associations, we will compose 2 aromatic compositions for sachet:
Pine - Juniper - Mandarin
orange-cinnamon

1) For coniferous-tangerine sachet we will need:
Beeswax
Silicone molds
Pine essential oil
Essential oil of juniper
Essential oil of mandarin
Pine or spruce branch
Dried mandarin peels

1) Cut the wax into small pieces and set to heat in a water bath.

2) When the wax melts, remove from the bath and add essential oils of pine, juniper and mandarin to it. The total percentage of ethers should be about 3-8% by weight sachet, but it is worth considering the intensity of the aromas themselves, for example: juniper ether has a rather pungent smell, so it is better to add 3-4 drops.

3) Pour the wax into the mold.

If you do not have a silicone mold, then you can use ordinary plastic containers.

4) We decorate our future sachet with a spruce branch and pieces of peel.

5) When the wax has cooled, we take it out sachet from the mould. You can simply put it in a closet, or you can make a box or an envelope with a window cut out and store it among the linen.

Orange-cinnamon sachet is made according to the same principle as the first. So, the ingredients needed for the sachet:
Beeswax
Ground orange peel
cinnamon sticks
essential oil of orange
Essential oil of cinnamon

We put the wax in a water bath. When it melts, add the zest and leave it in the bath for a couple of minutes so that the zest “brews”.

After we remove the wax from the bath, add essential oils, pour into a mold and decorate. When the wax hardens, but is still warm, gently pierce the sachet through the sachet with a toothpick, if you do this later, it may simply crack.
Here's what we ended up with.

So that once again on the eve of the New Year holidays not to buy all sorts of trinkets for a present, I propose to make unusual, beautiful and, most importantly, practical souvenirs with your own hands.

Florentine sachet is a natural fragrance based on beeswax and essential oils. The beeswax perfectly preserves the aromas and does not get lost in the sachet itself. It gives warmth, smells of summer, sun, field and herbs.

 
What can wax sachets be used for?
- a great way to scent linen in the closet
- if you place an aromatic tile somewhere in the room, you will feel a slight smell of essential oils and wax throughout the room
- Florentine sachet can be used as a decoration for the Christmas tree
- by choosing an invigorating composition of essential oils and placing a sachet on your desktop, you will get a source of good mood and performance
- aromatic tiles with soothing esters at the head of the bed will help you quickly relax and fall asleep peacefully
- this sachet looks interesting in the car instead of artificial flavoring.

We'll need, sachet filler and essential oils.

sachet filler dried flowers and herbs, petals and seeds, spices (cloves, cinnamon, star anise), needles, citrus peel can serve.

Sachet molds no need to buy. These can be silicone molds for cookies and muffins, can be lids from cans and even plastic mugs.

Manufacturing technology:

1. Melt the beeswax in a water bath. To do this, place a small enamel mug or bowl of wax in a saucepan with water.
Wax will melt faster if you grate it or try to grind it as much as possible.
While the wax is melting, feel free to inhale the aroma of natural beeswax - this is an excellent inhalation for the prevention and treatment of inflammation of the upper respiratory tract.

2. Once the wax has completely melted, remove the bowl from the water bath and pour the wax into the mold in a thin layer (about 0.5-1 cm)
To prevent the dishes from spoiling while the wax residue in the bowl is still warm, wipe the dishes, collecting all the wax with a napkin, the rest will not be difficult to wash with water.

3. While the wax has not hardened, lay out dried flowers, spices or dried fruits as you like and desire.

4. Do not forget to drop essential oils. The combination of coniferous essential oils, orange/mandarin and cinnamon will create a festive mood in the room.

5. Put a cocktail tube into the uncured wax and hold it until the wax "seizes". This is necessary so that the finished tile has a neat round hole through which you can thread the ribbon.

6. Leave the mold with wax on a flat surface until it hardens.

7. To remove the sachet from the mold quickly and without damage, place the mold in the freezer for 20 minutes. After the time has elapsed, remove the sachet from the mold.

It will be beautiful if you pack the finished sachet in a bag or wrap it in wrapping paper.

And if you put the sachet in a beautiful box - you get an exquisite original gift.

The wax sachet will retain the aroma of essential oils for 2 to 4 months. Then the warm smell of wax will remain for a long time. You can drop a little of your favorite fragrance on the surface and extend the time of enjoyment from an unusual flavor.
Such a tile can be melted and, after changing the filler and essential oils, cast again. And you can do this many times.

Florentine sachet for Easter.

The tradition of flavoring rooms, linen closets, has probably existed for as long as civilization itself. Fragrant oils were burned in the ancient world, the floors of medieval castles were lined with fragrant straw. Yes, and today it is customary to put a bag of lavender or other dried flowers in a wardrobe. We also know from our grandmothers that orange peels or lavender flowers repel moths and smell much nicer than mothballs. Usually, under the phrase “aromatic sachet”, we immediately imagine exactly a bag of herbs, but this is not always the case; in Florence, it is customary to hang a wax plate flavored with oils in a closet.

To create a sachet, we need :

beeswax (can be replaced with any other);
- stearic acid (optional)
- essential oils or cosmetic fragrances;
- dried flowers and herbs for decoration;
- a container for melting wax;
- suitable moulds;
- tubules.

The molds in which we will cast the sachets should be flat and shallow in order to make it convenient to decorate the wax plate with dried flowers and make it fragrant for a long time. It is most convenient to use silicone baking molds.

For instance. such

Natural waxes hold aromas very well, which is why they are chosen as the base for scented sachets. Wax you can use any

Wax must be melted in a water bath. The mixture can be dyed to the shade you want, but keep in mind that water-soluble dyes will not work. Wax crayons are great for painting.

for instance , citrus essential oils are very volatile and quickly weathered, so you can add more of them than other essential oils. We add aromatic composition up to 10% by weight of waxes. The optimal thickness of the wax plate is 5-6 mm. The sachet hardens very quickly, so we immediately decorate them with dried flowers, spices or herbs, use a tube to make a hole for the ribbon and let the plate completely harden.

Florentine sachets are wax plates with fragrant fillers and essential oils.
The idea captured me completely! I didn’t have herbs, I didn’t want to buy at the pharmacy. But there is coffee beans and many different spices and grains! I took lids from cans as molds: square lids 7x7 cm in size, round lids 10 cm in diameter.

In the evening, I thinly sliced a half of a small tangerine and removed thin chips, the slices and zest dried up overnight. On paper, I figured out the approximate design of each sachet so as not to waste time when the wax hardens. She took out her spices: cloves, cardamom, natural vanilla pod, cinnamon, black peppercorns, coffee beans, star anise. In the rosette - an Indian mixture of Panch Puren (the composition can be googled).

To melt the wax, I took a jar of canned cat food (to throw it away later). It turned out to be too small: when adding pieces of wax to a jar, a part still fell out and burned ((((I think a small jar of corn would be ideal.

The wax was cut and broken into pieces. Here, by the way, brute male power would come in handy (((To be honest, I was tired of cutting wax ((((I would like to do only the creative part. I tried to rub it - it’s not convenient to put shavings in a jar. Stirred with a wooden ice cream stick.

The water bath did not bother. I usually melt the wax by putting the jar directly on the fire. But this time the jar was too small, so I took out a divider (I think I got it from the former residents of this apartment))))- it was very convenient for me! She carried the jar, taking the edge with pliers.

And here are the first difficulties! She poured wax into the lid, put the tube in, and began to lay out the spices. And they take it and drown it ..... And star anise, and pieces of cinnamon, and a slice of tangerine - they all drowned in wax ((((If the plate were transparent, it would be fine! But the wax is dense.

Therefore, I poured the plate in two passes: first, the substrate layer was half the finished height, the wax solidified, another layer was placed on it, and the filler was already laid on it. If something sank, then not to the bottom, but to the substrate))))

Ready-made sachets of varying degrees of solidification of the wax: at first the wax is light, as it solidifies it darkens:

I had a "dirty" unrefined wax, but I also used part of the purified wax: it turned out to be a two-layer sachet))))

Most of all, I was worried about how I would shake out the finished sachets from the lids. But 20 minutes in the freezer works wonders!!! It all panned out great. What can not be said about the tubes: some more or less pulled out well, but I suffered with some (((didn’t want to pull out at all (((and I was afraid to break the record if I pressed harder. I didn’t understand yet how to facilitate the process (((

When completely frozen, the sachets look pretty))) I imagined the result a little differently, but I like these ones too!

Comment!!! Put in the freezer already cooled and fully tightened sachets! As you can see, the sachet on the left cracked ((((I put everything in the freezer at the same time, it was the last one and didn’t have time to cool down, so it cracked. It’s a pity (((I added ground coffee and a lot of coffee beans to it. I’ll have to keep it. I can’t donate such a copy

By the way, I decided to give these sachets to my colleagues at work. Even though we agree not to give each other anything, the girls still buy some other unnecessary dust collectors. Last year I gave away samples from Yves Rocher. And this year it will be real New Year's souvenirs!!! I really hope they like them. (Taking into account two unsuccessful copies, I think to repeat the casting, I will make a few more pieces. Just have to ask someone to break the wax))))))

And next year I already have an idea to make a sachet with lavender)))

Hello friends! 🙂

Do you love creativity?
What a stupid question, why are you here, if not for creativity, right?
Oh, this creative muse! Sometimes, in the process of making seemingly ordinary things, the beautiful Fairy of Inspiration does not allow you to make everything too simple, shows your creation from a different angle - and now, you are already passionate about a new idea!

So am I. I decided to make flavoring plates from soy wax with an amazing aroma (I really fell in love with it !!!). I got distracted and somewhere “accidentally” saw painted gingerbread cookies with animal faces. Drawing inspiration from confectioners is the most favorite thing. And, of course, I just couldn't help but give this idea a go!

Wax (Florentine) sachets for aromatization of the house were made, as always, with their own hands.

Sasha turned out very cute. Now, opening the closet, I always smile :))), and it is always worth a lot!

What are fragrant wax plates for?

They aromatize rooms, cabinets, boxes, linen.

It is enough to put a couple of plates in a drawer with bedding or towels - and they will be fragrant with your favorite scents.

Sometimes it's great to put such a record in a box with a gift - then when unpacking, the donee will be doubly pleased 🙂

Well, there is nothing to do here at all :)))

You will need:

Soy wax weigh out

And melt in a water bath. Add fragrance ".

Pour into a round shape. Thickness 6-8 mm.

In slightly hardened wax, outline the contours of the muzzle with a knife.

Carefully remove the cut pieces

Place in a melting pot and add bronze mother-of-pearl.

Pour the "cheeks" of the muzzle.

If the edges are uneven, you can trim them with a hot spoon.

We warm the spoon

And smooth out the bumps

Make an indentation for the nose with a hot spoon. And we make a nose with a bean.

We make eyes out of peppercorns. you can draw eyelashes cosmetic. pencil.

And we make ears 🙂

I also made holes for the thread with a hot awl so that I could hang the sachet.

And threaded the ropes.

Everything is ready! In this way, you can greatly diversify the appearance of your sachets. And be sure to involve the children - they will be delighted!

Have fun and have a nice day!
