Homemade DIY Wax Air Freshener

Lets get started with what we need to make these. Remember the scent will be subtle but last a long time, so these DIY wax air fresheners are made really for small spaces such as closets, bathrooms or draws.

What You Need:

• 100 grams soy wax
• 1 TBSP fragrance (I used citrus blend)
  Silicone Wax mold (I have linked some suitable ones below
• Ribbon or String
• Decorations( dried flowers, fruits, crystals, gemstones etc.)

Directions for making DIY Wax Air Fresheners

1. Melt the wax in a double boiler, stir slowly
2. Once melted remove from heat and add the fragrance, stir to combine. *(REMEMBER ADD FRAGRANCE SAFELY, TOO MUCH ESSENTIAL OILS OR FRAGRANCE ISN’T SAFE!)*
3. Pour carefully into molds, knock the molds gently so the wax settles flat.
4. Delicately place the decorations on the wax, the decorations should sink to the bottom but rather sit on the surface. Push them down a little bit so they wont fall loose.
5. Let set.
6. Once set, remove from mold and tie string or ribbon in place.
