- You could change the color of the mica powder you are using. This is great if you are changing the scent so that you can match the color to the fragrance.
- These make incredible gifts. You could add a couple of bars to a mason jar, then seal it with ribbon and a tag. Or make a few different scents and fragrances and gift them in a box. Perfect for birthdays or Christmas.
