Make these adorable DIY Felt Air Fresheners for the coffee lover in your life!
There are three different templates to choose from with Latte, Frappuccino, and Milk Shake Designs.
Like most air fresheners, you’ll want to put them in your car or a small space and pick a scent you love!
Use any scented oil you like, there are so many to choose from. I found everything from mocha to coconut. I used different scents on the three that I made… peppermint, vanilla, and pumpkin pie!
Make a couple of DIY Felt Air Fresheners for yourself and a few to give as gifts or to sell. Check out the how-to’s and follow along with the video below.
How to Make DIY Felt Air Fresheners
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 to check out the felt I used here).
Next, hot glue everything together.
Use a hole punch to make a hole in the top of your DIY Air Freshener and add a string and beads (optional).
Put about 10-12 drops of essential oils onto the back of your air freshener. Reapply with essential oil after about two weeks as 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.
I also added these cute heart lava beads (optional) to the top of my air freshener. I thought they added a nice touch and they’re functional too.
Lava beads are used to make aromatherapy bracelets and other jewelry because they soak up and hold scent well. Natural (unfinished) wood beads can also be used. They soak up oils well too. Add a few drops to lava or natural wood beads.
Use a Big Eye Beading Needle or a piece of thin wire (folded in half) to string beads.–> Check out the video above for more detail!
