Karen Ov Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 So I seen these air freshener blanks on bittercreek and they say you can paint them using diluted food coloring or stamp them then add your fragrance..seems fun..has anyone used these? And do them come out nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbaranj Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 (edited) I have used these....I used watercolor paints and it worked well. I remember stamping them in the past...but the ink ran a bit after applying the fragrance oil. You may try stamping after adding the oil? I recently ordered the football helmet blanks and painted them in team colors. Then I printed the team logo on a blank label, cut the shape of the logo and stuck it on the helmet blank. It was pretty cool! I did this for various teams for family members. Edited January 18, 2020 by barbaranj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm interested in learning how to make these since the beaded fresheners sell really well for me. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbaranj Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Hi Belinda. I just coat the blanks with oil...I use an artist type ( a good width) brush or foam brush. I already have them strung, so I let them dry by hanging them up. If not strung, I just lean them up on jar. I usually give them a second coat of oil. No recipe. Just oil of your choice. Too easy! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah S Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 I do the same as Barbara. The fragrance doesn't last as long as aroma beads, but they are fun to play with! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belinda Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 @barbaranj and @Sarah S, thank y'all! How do you decorate them? I actually think I ordered some once from BCS when they were still open but never did anything with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cp0421 Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 I used to use these from Bell. I loved them but just didn't have the space for them to dry. I dipped them in a dish with fragrance and dpg and hung them to dry. They do not last as long as the aroma beads. http://www.wicks-wax-scents.com/texas-boots-horses.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cp0421 Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 It will if you leave them in too long. Only dip them long enough to absorb the fragrance on the whole freshener and pull it out. I had a few customers that I would resoak them for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beckemmons Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 This might sound crazy but can you use regular card stock to make these? I have tons of card stock and different shaped paper punches from doing crafts with my daughter. If so it would be a fun new craft for her to try.

cp0421 Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 No, I wouldn't think so. The paper fresheners have an absorbent layer in the middle. Regular card stock might fall apart. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
