When stuffing your
doll or ornie, place a little dab or fragrance oil of choice on a cotton ball
and place the scented cotton ball in the middle with your stuffing. The
scent will last a fairly long time. Or when you coffee or tea stain
your doll, place a little bit of vanilla extract or a little fragrance oil in
with your staining mixture and brush on doll for a wonderful lasting
scent. One question I seem to run across all the time is how to rust
safety pins. I like to mix one bottle of peroxide, 1/4 cup of white
vinegar and 2 tablespoons of salt in a large plastic margarine container.
Place your safetypins or other metal objects in the solutions and using a
plastic spoon, make sure that all items are in the solutions soaking really
well. Within an hour your items should be rusting along pretty good.
When they get to the right rusty look you are aiming for, take them out and pat
them dry on a layer of paper towel. Then place in a ziplock bag to store
for future use. Please discard of the solution per your municipal
codes. I don't recommend placing down drain.
