I have ordered from them and they are absolutely one of the worst companies. I have called and emailed and even text about the problems I have had. One scent smelled like glue. so they whole batch was ruined. I have spent over $300 from them and they refuse to contact me with the problems I have had. So I called and spoke to Southwest Candle Supply in Mesquite texas and have had really great results!! But I REFUSE to waste any more money on Scentimental GIfts!!!
Once you do all that... Get metal cookie cutters and a sheet pan lined with Aluminum Foil. Fill the Cookie Cutters up with the Scented & Colored Bead's. Put them in the oven. Pull them out once they are completely melted. Let them cool. And now you have Scented airfreshners in cute shapes. I use to make these and sale them at a Flea Market.
Hello! Please clarify on the fragrance oil for two cups of beads. You stated use 2-4 tbsp or three droppers. But three droppers is slightly less than one tbsp .
You can re-infuse them, but the scent doesn't last as long as it does with a fresh batch. Use only 1/3 of fragrance the second time around because they won't be able to soak up the same amount. Look up my air freshener videos for the ornament versions.
This was the first result when I looked up what are aroma beads. Informative video, still don't fully understand it but these seem interesting. Do beads (in general, I see your pinned comment) "bleed" onto surfaces once cured? I fear it would go through that mesh bag if forgotten about.
@@DesertCloudSoapworks Thank you for the response. I did mean the oils inside but that does help to answer my question. I once left a few gel scent beads I failed to pick up after spilling and they melted down into some plastic, so was wondering.
Every other video I’ve watched they say to weigh everything. And to add 1 oz of oil to 4 oz o weighed product. How long do you let them set after they are dry before you make them into car fresheners?
Hey hey!! What a great project, I totally forgot about these! The bear is adorable. Can we use any other kind of colorant like mica's, soap colorant or regular food colors? Have a great day! Hugs from Texas!! : )
Is there a reason you can’t use soap dye? I thought I bought candle dye but I used the soap dye on accident. Did I just ruin the ones that I put them in?
When I was younger we had beads just like this only they were wax. Although I would love to have some made of wax. I should be too hard to do. I don't like using Plastics anyway,

Desert Cloud Soapworks oh, I’d never have guessed. Do they specify what kind/number? Is it like a P.E.T. 2 or 5? I can’t think what kind of plastic would take on oils and food dyestuffs. I’d be worried about the heating process in the oven as you do in another video. Thanks for replying so promptly. Question: a little different that what you’d normally do, but I’m looking to make insect and rodent repellents using essential oils such as peppermint, camphor, cedarwood etc. that would be slow, sustained release, safe around cats and birds. Would this and the melted down shapes be suitable?
Is the fragrance oil not potent? Can kids can touch it with no problem? Cause if we put the beads into the bear, the oil might leak to the bear furs. Kids would most probably gonna play with it.
I do have a new supplier that I am going through and will be featuring them in my next video upload. I can't say the name at this moment until I close on the partnership. If all goes well, the video will be released no later than Wednesday of next week.
It's like night and day. These are so much better. I make them into hanging air fresheners too. Check out the link in the description to see the listings on my Etsy and see what I'm talking about.

Desert Cloud Soapworks is there something wrong?
Where else do you get these supplies from?
A new place will be announced soon! Stay Tuned!
Can you tell me/us why? I have an order ready to place but if it’s a shotty company, I want no part in it.

Of course! :)
Katt Chaos how long do they last ??

Cup of water?

You are welcome 😊
Thanks this really helped. Have a great day.🌹
Glad it helped!
Wonderful project!
I do not see the link in the descriptions can u put it in there please and thank you this is such a great idea
Please refer to the pinned comment.
Thanks for sharing. I have been wondering how you make them.
You’re welcome 😊
Very nice! Thank you for sharing!
Hello! Please clarify on the fragrance oil for two cups of beads. You stated use 2-4 tbsp or three droppers. But three droppers is slightly less than one tbsp .
Use 2-4 tbsp depending on how strong you want the scent.
Am I the only one that smelled my screen like a dork at 2:22? Asking for a friend. lol
This great insight. I have one question is it possible to reuse the beads next time. Which video is for aroma bead ornament you were referring to
You can re-infuse them, but the scent doesn't last as long as it does with a fresh batch. Use only 1/3 of fragrance the second time around because they won't be able to soak up the same amount. Look up my air freshener videos for the ornament versions.
You are just awesome. 🥰🥰🥰 I'm assuming you have a website for us to buy your products?
No, I just give tutorials.
That bear would be great with EO Lavender in a baby's room..Up high on a shelf...
Great video 👍🏼 & informative commentary. I immediately subscribed. THANK YOU 💕🍭☺️
Way to cute Love it
Hola podrías decirme cómo puedo conseguir los beads en México??
Hola, prueba aromabeadsonline.com
Nice. What beads do you recommend?
aromabeadsonline.com
Where do you find the shapes to make the car air fresheners
Metal cookie cutters
Desert Cloud Soapworks thank you!!!!! And what about the candle dye can I use soap dye ??
Desert Cloud Soapworks I found this but if you can verify they will be okay and it’s cheap
Can you put these in tealight burner or electric wax burner
No! Do not heat!
Can you color with mica after beads are cured and dry? Or must mix with oil?
The oil mixes with the color to help penetrate the beads.
How long will the bags give off a scent in a car?
Depends on the fragrance and how strong you make it, but typically 3-4 months from my experience.
Before I finished watching your video I put maybe 13oz of beads and 2 oz of fragrance in should I pour some oil out or just wait?
That is way too much fragrance. Use 1/4 of that.
@@DesertCloudSoapworks Thanks I just started . I bought 15 lbs of economy beads for 50$ I can't wait to smell them finished
This was the first result when I looked up what are aroma beads. Informative video, still don't fully understand it but these seem interesting. Do beads (in general, I see your pinned comment) "bleed" onto surfaces once cured? I fear it would go through that mesh bag if forgotten about.
If you use liquid colors and not powder pigments, they won't bleed. These are dry when they are completely made.

My aroma beads still not dry 9 days 😒, in Seattle, you think I did something wrong or is the humidity? Best guess?
You might not have real aroma beads or you dded too much fragrance. Go to aromabeadsonline.com to get the good ones.
great video...is there a different company whose beads you recommend?
aromabeadsonline.com
I’m new to your channel. Do you know where I can get the bear
Love the Bear , and how easy it is to make these fragrance beads . Awesome !!
Every other video I’ve watched they say to weigh everything. And to add 1 oz of oil to 4 oz o weighed product. How long do you let them set after they are dry before you make them into car fresheners?
When they are done in the jar, they can be made into the air fresheners.
How long does the aroma stay? Also, could you put them in a wax tart melter?
You can not put these in a melt warmer because they will melt. I have one I made a year ago and it still smells.
Hey hey!! What a great project, I totally forgot about these! The bear is adorable. Can we use any other kind of colorant like mica's, soap colorant or regular food colors? Have a great day! Hugs from Texas!! : )
I remember these orange peanuts 🥜
Good to know you can use essential oils.❤ I'm allergic to fragrance oils. 😢
The biggest problem with Essential oils is they sort of eat the beads. You have to shake really often and they do not last as long.
Can these be used on a electric wax burner? X
No. Do not heat them.
can you use this to mask unwanted odor smells?
That's what it is, an air freshener. :)
Putting beads in bags will it let you renew scent
Not as strongly as fresh new ones.
How long does the fragrance last after they have been baked?
Depends on the strength of the fragrance. 1-4 months.
Can you burn then in a wax burner?
No.
My beads are burning and sent is not strong I temp 350 for 7 to 10 min they get stuck and shrink even though I fill them up to the top
Bad quality beads.
Can one use essential oils instead of fragrance?
Yes
Just love your china, can you use mica powder to create the color or food dye?
You can.
What size cookie cutters do you recommend using? Please get back to me
Whatever size you prefer. It really doesn't matter.
How long the beads will last with smell ?
Depends on the scent and where you keep them. Lighter scents will wane faster.
Can I use aromatherapy essential oils?
Probably.
Is there a reason you can’t use soap dye? I thought I bought candle dye but I used the soap dye on accident. Did I just ruin the ones that I put them in?
Depending on how much you used, give it some time to soak in. Some bead can hold candle color, but not all.
So where do get all your products now ?
aromabeadsonline.com
i thought you had to add water. do they swell like those little balls?
These are not the water ones. These are a type of plastic beads that absorb fragrance oils and color. They don't swell.
@@DesertCloudSoapworks super enviromentaly friendly then
Where do you get the little dropper thing ?
They usually come with fragrance oil when you buy it online. You can find the plastic droppers on Amazon too.
@@DesertCloudSoapworks thank you very much.
if I will use the same color and the same fragrance, can I reuse the same beads?
They only soak up fragrance well the first time. You can try to refresh them by using 1/4 of the amount of fragrance you used the first time around.
thank you for your advice! How long does the fragrance last?
you said you're no longer endorsing Scentimental Gifts...where do you buy your beads now?
Where can you buy some good fragrances that holds smell?
I would go to Fragrance Oil Gallery on Ebay. I never had a problem with any of his fragrances, and shipping is quick in the USA.
I can't seem to find this supplier on eBay, can you assist?
Can you use essential oils?
Yes
Is unscented paraffin wax beads the same as aroma beads
Aroma beads are plastic.
When I was younger we had beads just like this only they were wax. Although I would love to have some made of wax. I should be too hard to do. I don't like using Plastics anyway,

How long does the aroma last...
It can last for months.
Are paraffin wax beads and aroma beads the same?
No.
@@DesertCloudSoapworks can you use paraffin wax beads
Can u not add water to this to make the scented water beads
Adding water will create mold and the fragrance will separate from the water. The beads are designed to soak up pigment and oils, not water.
Desert Cloud Soapworks so this is not the same as the water beads that u use for flowers
No, these are made of plastic and do not expand.
Desert Cloud Soapworks oh ok. Thanks
Can you do a video using mica powder please 😁
What about pigments?
Liquid candle color is the best to use. If you try to use food coloring or soap color, the beads might not soap all of it up.
What are aroma beads please? What are they made of?
Plastic.
Desert Cloud Soapworks oh, I’d never have guessed. Do they specify what kind/number? Is it like a P.E.T. 2 or 5? I can’t think what kind of plastic would take on oils and food dyestuffs. I’d be worried about the heating process in the oven as you do in another video.

Is the fragrance oil not potent? Can kids can touch it with no problem? Cause if we put the beads into the bear, the oil might leak to the bear furs. Kids would most probably gonna play with it.
No problem with kids. The beads soak up the fragance and become dry. I put the beads in an organza bag before putting in the bears.
Lady, you are very talented! Can I use micas also?
Yes you can.
What are the little bears called?
Toys.
There’s fillable catnip toys like the teddy bear.
I still eat those circus peanuts lol. They smell like bananas. tyfs great diy
Is there any other place to get unscented beads??? Their shipping is SO EXPENSIVE
I do have a new supplier that I am going through and will be featuring them in my next video upload. I can't say the name at this moment until I close on the partnership. If all goes well, the video will be released no later than Wednesday of next week.
ebay
Why are you no longer affiliated with scentimental beads?
Long Story.
Wow! No water?
Nope. These aren't water beads.
Desert Cloud Soapworks Oh. Well do these make better air fresheners (hold fragrance longer)?
It's like night and day. These are so much better. I make them into hanging air fresheners too. Check out the link in the description to see the listings on my Etsy and see what I'm talking about.
This lady sells them to put in warmers why do you say not to
They are made of plastic, not meant for warmers.
My candle dye is not liquid it is little solid flakes... can I melt it and put it into containers for when I need them?
Don't think that would work well.
