Quick and Easy Rustic Harvest Aromatherapy Air Freshener

During one of my demonstrator team get togethers we made different spa and home decor recipes, including a body butter, an oatmeal and chamomile facial, and this autumnal scented air freshener.

It was a big hit! First we traced the outside of the bottom of the jar ring (the part with the threads) with a pencil onto a piece of Rustic Harvest Designer Series Paper. We cut out the circle with paper snips and inserted the circle into the jar ring.

Then we filled the glass canning pint jars half full with Epsom salts and dried lavender flowers. We added the essential oils and stirred it well to combine. The essential oils are optional. The lavender flowers smell amazing on their own too. Gently crush them in your hands before adding them to the Epsom salts.

Next we added Epsom salts and lavender flower buds to fill the rest of the jar, added a few more drops of essential oil, and stirred well to combine. Adding the Epsom salts and lavender in two parts makes it a lot less messy. The first time I made these air fresheners I made a mess with the Epsom salts all over my kitchen island.

Finally, we put the lid on and added some holes to the designer series paper with the Take Your Pick Tool to allow the scent to fill the room.

Please, note that this air freshener is intended to be placed in an area away from children and pets. This blog post is not intended to treat or diagnose anything, and is not advice of any kind. This blog post is anecdotal only of the steps we took to make this air freshener.

I put this air freshener in the powder bathroom in my house. The door stays closed almost all of the time, so the cats don't have access to it unsupervised.

I could have added more decoration, but I didn't want the decorations to get wet or get soap on them. If this air freshener were for another room, I would definitely add more decorations like the banner stamp and die from the Hello Harvest Bundle.
