Enjoy.<\/p>\n<p>*********************************************************<\/p>\n<h2>How to Make Your Own Natural Car Air Freshener with Wool Felt and Essential Oils<\/h2>\n<p>Like the look (and smell!) of those cute hanging car air fresheners? You can make your own all-natural car air freshener, one that has no toxic ingredients, that can be any shape and color that you want, and that emits your absolute favorite scent for your driving pleasure.<\/p>\n<p>The secret to this project is wool felt. Wool felt is a little thicker and stiffer than recycled plastic felt, which means that it will hold a simple shape well without curling when it\u2019s hung. Wool felt also comes in a ton of amazing colors, so you\u2019ll have a LOT of options for your air freshener.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Cut it out!<\/strong> Cut out a simple shape, about 4\u2033 tall, from wool felt. I used my Cricut to cut out a basic tree shape (but not THAT tree shape!) from paper, and then used that as a template to cut the same shape from felt.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Make it smelly!<\/strong> Drop several drops of your favorite combination of essential oils right onto the wool shape. Essential oils are a natural source of scent, and you can always benefit from aromatherapy in your car\u2013for instance . . .<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For photos and complete instructions, see the <a title=\"complete article here\" href=\"http:\/\/craftingagreenworld.com\/2012\/10\/08\/how-to-make-your-own-natural-car-air-freshener-with-wool-felt-and-essential-oils\/\">complete article here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>_________________________________________________<\/p>\n<p>Copyright \u00a9 Quinessence Aromatherapy Ltd 2012.
