How to Make Paper Air Freshener
Buying paper air fresheners can become an expensive habit, and you may never find a design or scent you really like. Making your own paper air fresheners is an easy, fun, and useful craft project. You can create a design exactly to your liking. Hang your homemade paper air freshener anywhere: in the car, kitchen, or bathroom. They cost only a few cents to make, and you probably already have all the necessary materials right in your house.
