How to Create a Mosquito Repellent Bracelet




Steps :

1.Prepare the worktop by protecting it with baking paper;
2.Cut the clay into pieces and add a little water to make it easier. With your hands, make about twenty balls (the exact number will vary depending on the size of your wrist).
3. Drill a hole in the center of each bead and let them dry according to the instructions accompanying the clay you you have to buy.
4. Paint and decorate your beads. Do not hesitate to make several different colors and patterns according to your desires and your inspiration. You can also leave a few unpainted.
5.When the paint is dry, it's time to put on the thread and tie a good knot. The bracelet is ready!

Make the bracelet repellent:

Apply a few drops of essential oils that mosquitoes hate on the bracelet: lemon eucalyptus, lemongrass, peppermint, geranium or lavender. To repel mosquitoes, fleas and ticks, you can mix one drop of geranium essential oil, one of lemon, one of lemongrass, and two of cedar in two teaspoons of vegetable oil. Apply a drop of this mixture on each bead! When the pearls no longer smell, reapply these repellent oils.
