Shaking Method:
Place 1 pound of unscented crystal rocks in Glass Jar or HDPE plastic container. Add 1 teaspoon of Glycerin & 1/4 oz. of Di-Propylene Glycol DPG (optional)-This helps to evenly coat the rocks with dye & fragrance. Add 5 to 20 drops of liquid dye-more or less depending on your shade preference (candle dye, FD&C dye or liquid food coloring will work-we recommend candle dye). Add 1/2 oz. to 1.5 oz. of fragrance oil (your preference). Shake vigorously until evenly coated. Allow to soak for at least 24 hours, shaking often. Spread out rocks on thick cardboard or newspaper to dry. (Drying is optional, but highly recommend, due to the fact that the dye & oil will stain fabrics & surfaces). Please use gloves. After drying, add mica powder for sparkle & extra flair! We like to add aroma beads to soak up the extra oil instead of wasting it.
Spraying Method:
Lay unscented rocks on cardboard, spread evenly. Mix liquid dye with glycerin & rubbing alcohol in spray container. Spray rocks until evenly coated. Continue this step until you have reached your desired color. Allow to dry. Add 50% fragrance oil mixed with 50% DPG (optional) to spray container and evenly coat rocks.
