    Y have to keep on mixing it. If it forms a ball, then it means that you added too much fragrance. If it doesn't work, then add more powder.

    If you can obtain talc and grind it down finely enough, you can make talcum powder. This is not practical on a non-commercial basis. Search online or at your local library for talc alternatives that can be made at home.
