Materials needed

Essential Oils – I’m using Lemongrass and Lavender

Heavyweight paper – I’m using a 300 gram (140 lb) watercolor paper. This can be found in the art supply section of your local craft store.

Dry Adhesive. Pretty much any permanent tape runner will work.

Ribbon

Decorative Paper. Scrapbook paper is great for this.

Scissors, Xacto knife, or other cutting tool. I used my Silhouette die cutter.

Directions

Choose the shape you’d like your DIY essential oil air freshener to be. Either cut and size it on your Silhouette, or make a template to cut out. I’m using a star with slightly rounded ends that’s about 3 inches in diameter.

Cut several of these shapes out of watercolor paper.

Take one of your shapes for each essential oil you’re using. I used lemongrass and lavender, so I’d take two of my cut shapes.

Put 3-5 drops of one essential oil on one cut out shape. Repeat with each of your essential oils and shapes that you pulled out. So, I have two stars set aside – one with lemongrass essential oil and one with lavender essential oil. Let dry!

Now, for the construction! Take one plain shape and put dry adhesive all over it. I basically just run 3-5 strips along the shape, making sure to get the arms of the star really good. Layer one of the scented stars and stick them together. Make sure to line them up well.

Repeat this step, layering plain and scented shapes, finishing with a plain one. Don’t worry about the tape that’s hanging over the edges. You can just rub it off with your finger and it will go away.

Now, if you’d like to add a little decoration to your DIY essential oil air freshener, cut a shape or two out of decorative paper. Handmade paper or scrapbook paper are perfect for this. Simply attach the decorating paper the same way you attached your layers. Voila! It’s all fancy-like now.

If you’ll be hanging this DIY essential oil air freshener, you’ll want to punch holes in your shapes before assembling them. During assembly, line these holes up. Thread a length of ribbon through and tie a knot. Now you can hang these in your closet, car, or anywhere that needs some freshening up.
