I don’t know about you but one of the things I need to make me feel special is to have amazing smells surrounding me. I previously shared with you How to Make Your Own Reed Diffuser to help create peaceful and uplifting aromas in your home. Today, I’m going to show you how to make a super simple “Baking Soda Air Freshener”. Here’s What you need!
Baking Soda Air Freshener
Supplies:
1/2 Cup Baking Soda
1 Wide Mouth Canning jar
Essential or Fragrance Oils
Burlap
1 Plastic lid from a quart yogurt container
This project is super simple and so easy to personalize to your tastes and needs.
First off, your fragrance. You can use fragrance oils that you can purchase at places like Bath and Body Works. You can also use a combination of Essential Oils.
I chose to use a combination of lime, orange, grapefruit, and lemon essential oils. Why? For 2 reasons. First, the citrus aromas are very uplifting and brighten my day. Secondly, if I choose to replace my baking soda later (for newer and “fresher” baking soda), I can use the contents for cleaning…..citrus essential oils are GREAT at cutting oil and grease!
Pour your baking soda and approximately 30 drops of your fragrance oil or combination of essential oils into the mason jar. Stir.
Using the lid of your mason jar as a template, cut out a circle of burlap and a circle from your yogurt lid. Also, punch holes in to the yogurt lid “circle” to allow the fragrance to disburse.
Place the plastic “circle” and the burlap “circle” onto the mouth of your mason jar, then secure with the lid band. Shake your air freshener every so often to disburse the fragrance.
Super easy, inexpensive, and environmentally friendly. What else could be better? Hope your Saturday is awesome!

These look like a fantastic idea Margaret. We will have to try … I am always looking for environmentally friendly DIY home products instead of the harmful chemicals. Pinning!

I love it! I’m going to have to try this! Just made something similar to put inside my garbage cans, but this is so pretty!
