DIY Clove Bud Oil (It Lasts 5 Years)

DIY Clove Bud Oil (It Lasts 5 Years)
Ancient Greek, Roman, Chinese, and Indian cultures used clove bud essential oil as a toothache reliever. Chewing on the leaves also aided in curing bad breath. Today, many naturalistas use this as an at-home remedy to numb the gums instead of reaching for an over the counter topical medicine like Orajel.

As it pertains to natural hair care, there have been natural recipes made with clove bud oil for those who need to clarify their scalp. You, too, can make clove bud essential oil at home as a natural scalp soothing pre-poo or deep clarifying treatment with just a few items.

What you need

• your carrier oil of choice (extra virgin olive oil is suitable for this recipe)
• 4 fresh clove buds
• airtight jar
• strainer
• pourable glass container

Directions

1. PLACE the four crushed cloves at the bottom of your airtight jar. Crush them thoroughly.
2. FILL the jar with the carrier oil until the cloves are submerged, but not too much to overfill the container.
3. SEAL the container tightly. Exposure to air can affect the oil's potency.
4. SET aside the mixture for a week in an area where it can be exposed to sunlight.
5. POUR the mix in the glass container. Use the strainer to remove any excess particles. Do not hesitate to strain the oil a couple of times to make sure particles are completely removed.
6. STORE away for up to five years on the shelf. Over time, the color of the mix will darken. Make sure the container is sealed tightly.

How to use it

Apply the clove bud oil topically to your scalp before using a clarifying shampoo and then rinse thoroughly. Or you may apply it directly to your scalp as a clarifying treatment and leave on for about 30 minutes. Rinse out with warm water, massaging your scalp with the pads of your fingers and your favorite moisturizing conditioner.

  Pattern
   

Steps:

1. To make body, firmly twist together 1-1/2" foam-ball head and remaining foam shape; glue together with glue gun.
    
2. Turn glove inside out. Refer to diagram to sew first and third fingers shut; trim seams to 1/8". Turn glove right side out.
    
3. Fill thumb and little finger with small amount of fiberfil to create arms.
    
4. Place foam body inside glove. Pull glove down until cuff is below bottom of body, and head is smooth. Note: Middle finger of glove becomes hat.
    
5. Cut small oval mouth from craft foam; punch two holes from pink felt for cheeks. Use white glue to glue bead eyes, mouth, and cheeks to head.
    
6. Glue white felt around head for hat cuff. Glue pom-pom to tip of hat. Note: To make hat shown on red caroler, omit pom-pom. Instead, tightly wrap sewing thread around hat close to head. Cut off tip of finger; make vertical cuts down finger to thread. Fabric will curl around itself to form pom-pom.
    
7. Fringe ends of felt strip for scarf; tie around neck.
    
8. Fold cardstock in half. Use marker to write, or computer to print, desired message on outside. Use glue gun to glue caroling book into hands.
