Citrus flavor
There are many ways to use citrus as an air freshener. The easiest way is to cut the orange into slices and place in a glass container. Add chopped ginger to the citrus and cover with water. To keep the aroma constant, the resulting mixture should be heated or placed in a warm place.
Another option will add coziness and atmosphere to winter evenings. To make it, you will need dried cloves and an orange (tangerine). Stick the cloves into the citrus rind as often as possible. Such a flavoring agent will look original and resemble a hedgehog. The smell in the room will be felt for two weeks. Alternatively, you can remove the pulp from the orange and pour cinnamon or cloves into the hole. Add your favorite essential oil and enjoy the pleasant scent.
Coffee flavor
This option will delight coffee lovers. Needlewomen can make a lot of interesting things - topiary, vase, painting. To save time, you can pour coffee beans into beautiful glass containers and arrange them around the house.
You can make a small sachet filled with grains. To make it, you need natural fabric for the bag. The resulting fragrance is perfect for a kitchen cabinet or bathroom, will have a calming effect and create a unique scent in your home.
Glycerin and essential oils
To prepare such a freshener you will need:
- jar;
- glycerol;
- gelatin;
- essential oil;
- water;
- dye.
The manufacturing process is quite simple - fill a bag of gelatin with water (150 g). When it swells, add 30 ml of glycerin and dye. Drop your favorite essential oil into the mixture and pour it into a jar. A good solution would be to use several glass containers. Each can be made with its own flavor. A container with a wide mouth should be chosen, since a large area of contact with air will provide an intensity of aroma.
Cinnamon sticks
Cinnamon is capable of exuding a pleasant aroma that immediately gives us comfort and warmth. To ensure that this smell always reigns in the house, wrap a regular candle with cinnamon sticks. So you will create an interesting decoration for the interior and get a scent. When the wax hits the cinnamon while burning, it will generously share its scent.
You can also cook a spice, for example, if you are expecting guests and want to freshen the air. Boil the cinnamon with a little water and a pleasant smell will reign in the room.
Spruce branches
A fragrance made of spruce branches will come in handy for the New Year. Borrow a few twigs from the tree. Put them in a small glass container, breaking them first, then they will smell even stronger.
You can add nutmeg, only whole. The scent of the spruce branches will intensify and become more persistent.
Soda and essential oils
Soda is commonly used to combat unpleasant odors. It is considered to be an excellent absorbent. If you add a few drops of essential oil to it, then it will give back its aroma.
Pour baking soda into a jar, and cover with thick paper instead of a lid. Punch a sufficient number of holes in it. The soda should fill half the container. For this amount, you will need up to 12 drops of oil. Shake the mixture well and place in the desired place.
Essential oils and fir cones
Mix water and essential oil in a spray bottle before preparing a fir cone freshener. Place a few buds in a bag, sprinkle with the mixture and shake well. Do the same with the rest of the buds. Leave the entire set in the bag for three to four days for the buds to soak well. When the time is right, check to see if the buds smell good enough, if not, sprinkle them again and let them sit for a few days. Then place in glass containers. You can also add an LED strip for beauty there.
The range of essential oils is huge. Before buying, be sure to consult about contraindications, it is possible that the use of some of them will be prohibited if there are children and pregnant women in the house.
