Now you can turn that jiggly goodness into more than just a tasty treat. All you need to put these together is some ingredients that you probably already have laying around your home. They include plain or unflavored gelatin or pectin, water, food coloring, [essential oils](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fragrance-oils-1), small glass bowls or jars and salt. The nice thing about this project is that it is very cost efficient, therefore, you can make a bunch to place around the home, especially in smelly areas such as the shoe closet. Once the scent starts to fade, you can easily make more. Instead of purchasing [expensive air fresheners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/premium-scented-oil-diffuser) or refills, you can easily make your own.
