Need to get rid of unpleasant odors? Try this all natural Homemade Air Freshener - it absorbs yucky smells and replaces it with your favorite essential oil scent. Plus it's so easy to make, you can have one for every room in your house!

It’s been raining here for days and humid due to the high temps on top of it.  This is NOT a great combination when paired with our dog and my kids’ running shoes and soccer equipment. Our entry way is not smelling the best these days.  I’ve tried many different products to help the air smell fresher but they seem to just mask the bad odors and not actually eliminate them.  But this All Natural Homemade Air Freshener actually absorbs the unpleasant odors and replaces them with your favorite scents!

You won’t find any of the yucky chemicals that are in store bought air fresheners with this homemade version. Plus it’s so ridiculously easy to make, you’ll wonder why you didn’t think of it before now (which is exactly what I did!)

How to Make Your Homemade Air Freshener

Supplies:

Instructions:

Remove the lid from your jar and trace around the insert onto your paper.  Cut the circle out and set aside.  It should fit perfectly on top of your jar with the lid ring holding it in place.

This little homemade air freshener is perfect for any room.  It’s small enough to go most anywhere and the paper allows you to customize for any decor or holiday.  I’ll be making one for each of our closets, the laundry room, bathrooms, and bedrooms in everyone’s favorite scents.

These All Natural Homemade Air Fresheners are a great teacher gift as well.  Whether you want to give one to your child’s teacher now as the school year just starts or save the idea for the holidays that are just around the corner, it could be a great addition to the classroom.

    That is the cutest idea I’ve ever seen! I had no idea you could make your own air freshener.

    I’ve never heard of making your own air freshener before. That’s the neatest thing I’ve ever heard of. I can’t wait to give this a try.

    What a great idea for my kid’s bathroom, and rooms. I have no idea what they do in those places, but they get stinky quick!

    How often do you need to replace the baking soda/essential oil mix? Love this idea – thank you!!

      Hi Hannah! I would replace it every 30 days, but depending on how large (or stinky) the area, you might want to do it every 2-3 weeks.
      Thanks for stopping by!

    Great idea! I think I’ll use this in our bathrooms. I’ve pinned it for later reference, although it’s so easy to remember I probably won’t need it!

    I’m going to have fun picking pretty patterns to print for this project. 😀
