| Does anyone know how to make these? I have lots of old wooden ones, and would love to "scent" them. I assume you soak them in some natural oil/essence and water, but does anyone have a recipe? |

I've never seen an actual recipe for this, but I just put the clothespins on a cookie sheet and spray or drop essential oil on one side, let dry completely, then do the same to the other side. You may need to do this a couple times to get a stronger scent, if that's what you want.

oh wowzers, I have never heard of scented clothes pins... but I luv the idea....
I would think any 'carrier' oil and EO like lavender would work,,,

Totally off topic (kind of), but as one who has hung her laundry for YEARS, I am sold on these clothespins
Pricey, but the grip is great & no possibility of rust. I LOVE them (& should add that I was a die hard old school non clip old fashioned wood clothespin gal)
Try it, you'll like it!

I make scented clothes pins and sell them at market in little buddles of 3 or 5 with a torn piece of fabric tied around them. They are used to scent a room. Is this what you are talking about?
I take a widemouth pint jar and stand the pins on end and add about a Tablespoon of scent (think candle scent or soap making oils) put on a lid and allow to sit for a while. It will all soak up the pin.
