Have you ever thought about making your own air freshener? Yes, this is quite an unusual task, but once you see how easy and practical it is, you want to do it as soon as possible. Buying air fresheners at a store can be risky, as you don’t know what sorts of chemicals you’ll bring in your home. Making your own air freshener means you control the ingredients and can make the product as natural as possible. You will need a jar or a larger bowl, depending on the type of the freshener you want to make. Use a bowl for one that has dry ingredients, such as handmade potpourri and use a jar to make the ones that have a jelly-like consistency or for candles. Below you will find 7 awesome ideas of how to make a DIY air freshener. Tell us which one is your favorite!
