DIY Air Freshener!


DIY Air Freshener!

You'll need: 
  1. A box of baking soda (I made six so I bought two big boxes with enough leftover for my fridge).
  2. Essential oil of some scent you love. I used tea tree and lavender but have since bought honeysuckle.
  3. Jars and rings.
  4. Paper, coffee filter, or even just the flats of the canning jar lids.
  5. Whatever decorative touch you want!



Step one: Put the desired amount of baking soda in the jar!
Step two: Put two drops or so of your essential oils. If you have a particularly stinky area you may want to add more oils.
Step three: If you are using coffee filters just center the filter on the jar and screw the ring on. I used a pin to add a few holes so it would be able to absorb more stink. If you are using paper you need to trace the flat lid and cut out. Then place that on top and screw on the ring. I used a nail to poke holes in the paper so it would be porous. If you are using the canning flat lid you'll need to hammer a nail to make holes in the lid, then use it like a lid ;).
 
Step four: Shake it whenever you want a burst of scent, other than that, play around with decorating with them.
Can be used in cars, bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchens, and my personal favorite: the dogs room!



Happy DIY!
