I had seen these Air Fresheners made by a few people, so just had to try it! I was amazed at
how fast they came together and how the water dissolved into the crystals. They turned out SO cute
and were very inexpensive to make. I figured it out and it
cost about 90 cents a piece to make these.
Materials Needed:
- 4 ounce quilted crystal jelly jars (or a jar of your
size)
- Liquid Potpourri in your choice of a smell
- Moisturing Plus Watering
- Crystals made by Shultz
- Small jar or measuring cup to mix items in
- Water
- Spoon for mixing
Directions:
First open your box of jars, and reverse the
lids... this way you have a white lid showing and not the
flowered side.
Next dump two scoops (scoop comes with it)
of the crystals into each jar.
I then used a stage 3 baby food jar (because
I had it on hand, but any jar could be used) and put about
1/3 of water in the jar,
then filled it with liquid potpourri.
(I was able to make two air freshners per baby food jar of
mixture.)
Next I poured half the liquid mixture into
one quilted jar and half into another.
I then added 2 more scoops of the crystals.
Waited about 20-30 seconds and mixed it a bit
as it formed into a gel.
I patted it down with the spoon and put the cover
on it because I am saving these for my craft show. However,
if I was going to use it, I would have covered with a cloth
or lace so that the aroma could come out.
The First one is Apple / Cinnamon.
This second one is Honeysuckle.
The potpourri and liquid crystals that I used .
I found the Potpourri in the crafts section,
and the crystals in the House plant section of Wal-Mart.
The Potpourri was $1.87 a bottle and the crystals were on
sale for $7, but normally are $7.97. I was able to make 24,
4 ounce jars from the one container of crystals, and you
can see how much potpourri I have left over... enough to
make another 24 at least
