Supplies

• Stiff craft felt 
• Essential oil
• String or twine
• Hot glue
• Hole punch
• Scissors
• Stick pins (to hold the paper pattern to the felt)
• A wide-eye beading needle or a piece of thin wire
• Lava beads (optional) (here is a link to the heart ones shown)
• Unfinished wood beads (optional)
• Felt Air Freshener Templates

How to Make DIY Felt Air Fresheners

STEP 1:

To get started, download and print one of the free Felt Air Freshener Templates from the supplies list above. Use stick pins to pin each template piece to stiff felt and cut them out.

I gave recommendations for felt colors, but use any colors you like, and interchange the pumpkin for a heart or heart for a face. I also highly recommend using thick craft felt for this DIY – see the supplies list for felt recommendation.

STEP 2:

Next, hot glue your felt pieces together.

STEP 3:

Use a hole punch to make a hole in the top of your DIY Air Freshener and add a string and beads (optional).

STEP 4:

Put about 10-12 drops of essential oils onto the back of your air freshener. Reapply with essential oil after about two weeks, the scent will dissipate.

Note: Do not put your air freshener in a drawer or closet directly touching clothing or fabric. The oil may transfer and stain fabrics.

Optional: Add heart lava beads or natural unfinished wood beads to decorate the top. They add a nice touch and are functional. Lava beads are used to make aromatherapy bracelets and other jewelry because they soak up and hold scent well.

String beads with a wide-eye beading needle or a piece of thin wire (folded in half). Check out the video above for more details.
