DIY Doily Air Freshner

We have a dog .... and while we bathe him regularly,

I'm always afraid that our house smells like dog!

or maybe more like diapers - it's a toss up.

and since there is nothing worse than a stinky house,

I'm a BIG fan of things that make my house smell yummy!

So when I found this tutorial online for a DIY Air Freshner,
I had to give it a try! :) It looked simple enough.

But then I ran into a few problems --
luckily I found a solution for every problem ...
and I love the final result so much more than I thought I would.
Oh - and it actually smells great -- so that's a bonus! :)

Problem #1: I didn't have any essential oils.

Solution: Hobby Lobby, Lavender Essential Oil ($6.99 + 40% off coupon)

(Tip: Candle/Soap making aisle)

Problem #2: I didn't have a cute mason jar.

Solution: An old minced garlic jar that I was saving for the perfect project.

Here was that project.

Problem #3: I didn't want tin foil because you would see mine -- I wanted something pretty! :)

Solution: A vintage Doily from my Grandmother & some twine.

So here's my DIY Doily Air Freshner --

Semi-Rustic.

Totally Adorable.

 Absolutely Simple.
and my room smells of lavenders, not dog. or diapers.

Win.Win.Win.

So, want to make your own Air Freshner?

You need:
- Baking Soda
- Any Glass Jar
- Doily
- Twine (or ribbon)
- Essential Oils (found at any craft store)

Just fill your small glass jar about 1/3 to 1/2 full and add about 8-10 drops of Essential Oils. You can always add more - but be careful not to put too much! Unless of course, you want to drown in a field of lavenders. Then use the whole bottle. :)

Also - just stir it up when the smell starts to fade and it will be awesome again!
