Making Beeswax Air Freshener
I wanted to make an autumn scented beeswax air freshener similar to some I saw at a craft show. They're pretty simple to make and way cheaper to DIY.
Prep Time 10 days
Active Time 32 minutes
Cooling Time 1 hour
Total Time 10 days 1 hour 32 minutes
Servings 24 leaves
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup beeswax (divided into four 1/8 cup servings)
- 4 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1/4 teaspoon mica (I used yellow, orange, green, and red)
- 20 drops cinnamon leaf essential oil (Cinnamomum verum)
- 5 drops clove bud essential oil (Syzygium aromaticum)
Instructions
-
Measure 1/8 cup beeswax and 1 tablespoon coconut oil into glass pyrex measuring cup.
-
Place in a double boiler over medium heat.
-
Melt beeswax and coconut oil until liquid.
-
Stir in 1/4 teaspoon mica until fully combined.
-
Drop in 25 drops total of essential oils (I used 20 drops cinnamon and 5 drops clove).
-
Pour carefully into molds. They are really small, so go very slowly!
-
Allow to cool for several minutes, then pop in the freezer to fully cool
-
Remove from the molds and store in an airtight container until you are ready to use them.
Notes
To use these autumn leaf beeswax air fresheners, simply place a handful of them in a decorative bowl on your countertop. When the aroma starts to fade, you can melt them down and add more essential oils.
