Create your own petal perfume

Creating your own petal perfume can be a fun way to explore our sense of smell. Here's a simple guide for you to make your very own special perfume using flower petals from your garden

Let's get creative!

Step 1: Gather some flower petals

Carefully pluck some petals from flowers in your garden. Choose flowers with lovely scents, like roses, lavender, or jasmine. (You can also ask a grown-up to help you find some petals)

Step 2: Crush the petals

Take the petals and gently crush them between your fingers. This will release their beautiful fragrance and help create the perfume

Step 3: Mix the petals

Find a small container, like a clean jar or a bowl. Put the crushed petals inside and mix them together. You can use a spoon or your fingers to gently stir them

Step 4: Add water

Slowly pour a little bit of water into the container with the crushed petals. Be careful not to add too much water – just enough to make a liquid. Mix the water and petals together

Step 5: Let it sit

Cover the container and let the mixture sit for some time. This will allow the water to absorb the scent of the petals and create your homemade perfume

Step 6: Strain the liquid

After some time, you can strain the liquid to separate the petals from the perfume. You can use a clean piece of cloth or a fine strainer to do this. Squeeze out the liquid and collect it in another clean container
