DIY Wax Air Fresheners
A fun craft that also makes your home smell nice, you'll love these DIY wax air fresheners! They make a lovely homemade gift, too.
Servings: 8 air fresheners
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup soy wax
- ½ cup beeswax
- 1 tablespoon of essential oils for fragrance
- Dried flowers, fruit, spices for decoration optional
Instructions
- Place the soy wax and beeswax in a double boiler.
- Melt wax over medium heat.
- Remove from the heat and allow the wax to cool slightly.
- Add in essential oils. Stir until the oils are mixed well with the wax.
- Pour the wax mixture into silicone molds.
- If using, add in dried fruit, flowers, and spices.
- Stick a toothpick or bamboo skewer through the wax to make a small hole to add a string to later.
- Allow the wax to completely harden and then pop out of the molds.
Notes
- For visual guidance, I’ve included the complete step-by-step video tutorial in the recipe card.
- These wax air fresheners are an excellent way to reuse old candle wax or the very bottom of candles that are left over once the wick is burned up. Especially if you made your own homemade beeswax candles!
- If you don't prefer the yellow color for your air fresheners, you can use white beeswax instead.
- Don't add your dried florals or other decorations to the air freshener right away; you want to wait a few minutes for the wax to begin hardening so they don't sink to the bottom.
- If you make these without any dried flowers, spices, etc., you can melt them down and add fresh essential oils as they start to lose their scent. No need to buy new wax every time!
