Do you hate the overpowering, cloying scents of commerical car air fresheners? A new car air freshener gives me a huge headache. I used to think it was because the scent was too strong.
However, now I know that my headaches are caused by the chemicals used in commercial fragrances.
We stopped using commercial car air fresheners because of my daughter’s car sickness. The synthetic fragrance oils made her feel worse. We moved to a homemade car air freshener because I wanted to use a blend of essential oils that would help alleviate her nausea and motion sickness. It worked.

I’ve used felt, wooden clips, aroma beads, wax, and a portable essential oil diffuser and each method works.
If you want a fun, practical and cost effective craft, try making your own scented car air freshener. It’s something that takes minutes to make but can be enjoyed for several days to weeks.
