Makes 10 beads.
Ingredients:
1/4 cup powdered milk
2 Tbsp. white flour
2 Tbsp. borax powder
1 1/2 tsp. rosewater or water
2 tsp. mineral oil

12-15 drops rose fragrance oil (or fragrance of your choice)
1-2 drops red food coloring (optional)
Directions:
Combine the dried milk, flour, and borax in a bowl. Using a fork, stir until well mixed. Add the rose water, mineral oil, rose fragrance oil, and food coloring (if desired). Stir until you have thick dough.
Take a teaspoon of dough and roll it into a ball, with your hands. Keep rolling and working with the dough until it is shiny with oil all over it. Repeat until all of the dough has been shaped. Place the balls on waxed paper or foil and let air dry for 24 hours. You can leave in ball shape or press designs in them. This makes a handful of fragrant bath beads. When one or two dissolve in warm bath water, they release skin-softening milk and oil, and the scent of roses.
