Love your quick 101 tutorial. I found an answer to a question I was having which was I could not find a silicone mold for a camel. A friend loves camels. I've promised her camels for ages and I have metal die cuts in a variety of camel sizes and styles and two camel cookie cutters too. But no silicone mold for freshies or for resin or wax shapes even. So oh yeah now I know I can use the camel cookie cutters following your technique here. It also opens up bears and moose and other shapes I have cookie cutters for and haven't found any silicone molds of. I wanted a bear just like most of the bears you see but without the word MAMA on it. Now I will have my bear too. And my bison. Thank you. I'd always been led to believe cookie cutters were a no go and stuck. Looks like one can't believe everything ones told. Also love the simplicity of your designs and finished product. Thank you and off to explore a few more advanced tutorials on freshie making. I'm a total novice mind you. But have all the ingredients to get started.
This was super helpful thank you! I’m planning to get my kids supplies to do this as a Christmas gift, they love anything crafty and hands on, we also have a small farm store and they’re always looking for ways they can help, things they can make and sell. Do you have any videos on how you did the other freshies, the wrangler pocket and ball cap?
I just like the sound of the word, parchment paper the word of the day my house tomorrow will be parchment paper. Great video and I'm going to make my first freshy tomorrow. I usually do resin projects and soaps and I have so many molds. I have my HVAC refrigerant scale. I bet you that would work it's really accurate.
Yay! I was like so how much did she put 😱 I searched your info and saw on the blog how much you put ! Love you videos girl keep it up ! And thanks for helping 🥰
Does it not melt when the car is standing in the sun/heat? And what about the decoration you add with the hot glue gun, does it stay or melt in that same situation? Thank you so much, learning a lot!
I think using a funnel is more about safety than making a mess. Those beads bounce everywhere. If you have children or pets I suggest using a funnel because you don't want your child/ren or pets eating those beads. Some aroma beads are super clear so you really can't see them when cleaning up. Thx for the video by the way! 🙂
i rlly wanna start making them but i still am so confused :/ any other videos on how to make them will rlly help! especially videos of where you got your supplies and what all i rlly need to make them!
Hi! I love your video! I recently bought a freshie from a local store and fell in love. I bought a starter kit off Amazon to see if it’s something I would enjoy doing or even would like to start to sell. For the fragrance, about how many jars does the size bottle you get last? What size fragrance bottle do you get ? Thank you! And your products are beautiful!! 😊
Hi there. Thank you so much. I buy the 16oz bottles always if they’re available (1lb) it makes me about 3-4 jars of beads 😊 & again thank you for commenting. I appreciate it
@@EvasCarFreshies1 thank you! ☺️ I want to start making some I will definitely come back once I get the materials. I only need to use metal cookie cutters or is there anything else I can use for the design?
I enjoyed the tutorial. I have a question. When the car gets hot in the summer, does the hot glue release the wee sunflower? It gets 108° plus in my car in summer. Could you use E 6000 or some type of super glue instead?
Do you air out your aroma beads before putting in the fragrance oil ? I bought some aroma beads but they smell like vinegar. Great video 👏🏽🤩enjoyed it!!
I’m just getting started. I made my first freshie which was the small cross . What made the beads sink in the middle of the freshie? It still had edges but it sank in the middle all the way around.
@@EvasCarFreshies1 yes they were dry. The next one I made using the same beads from the same batch didn’t sink. I put the colored glitter in with the beads and oil. I thought I had filled it up all the way the first time. It was. Silicone mold. Came with a kit.
Separate oven isn’t needed and don’t use a convection oven. The air will disperse the beads. You don’t want that. The fragrance doesn’t linger in your oven.
Hey girl mine keep over cooking do u think the pans are bad because ive changed the setting from 350 to 240 an they are one second loose then kinda sticking to bamb over cooked lol i sat on the floor and watched ever 3 mins ish 😅
I have a question for you, How long do these last in a sealed individual bag? Like say I want to make these months ahead of time before my craft show would they still be like new?
Tried this recipe for a change in my freshies.. it’s been 2 weeks and i still have to keep adding beads because there is so much fragrance oil left. I’ve gone through 6lbs of beads in the past 2 weeks trying to get them to dry in time 🥴 I’m gonna try to bake some that aren’t fully dry and see how it goes , stay tuned
Hi Eva, following you from Scotland! 🏴 I’ve followed all your instructions 4oz to 1oz but my beads are just not drying. It’s been 2 weeks! I ended up baking some wet just to try. It was difficult cause they were so sticky but baked ok however the smell doesn’t fill the car. I’ve used different suppliers of beads and different fragrances. Any suggestions? Thanks x
hi there. Where do you get your beads and oils from? I would try 4oz to 2oz of beads then and see how that goes. It is a lot of trial and error when you first start but you will get it down.
Was that 4 ounces beads and 2 ounces oil? Make sure that the beads are good quality beads and good quality fragrance. Keep in mind that not all fragrance oils are the same. Some are oiler than others . Your oil probably was one of the oiler ones
Hi! Do you use your regular oven or did you buy one just for your freshies? I know that for certain projects you can’t use your regular stove oven. Love your work!
I just received my SFWP order today! So I still have to cure, then but does it matter if the oven is gas also is the time different if it's a silicone mold?
Okay I’m in the hot mess era…. My beads never dried 😭😭 and my jar doesn’t have more space to add more beads. Should I split my wet beads into another jar and evenly add more beads?? I measured everything with a scale and shook them quite often for over a week I’m on day 10 now and finally ready to try and make my freshies and they are definitely not white or dry enough. HELP
Hi so when you first get the aroma beads how do you get the vinegar smell out. I have been letting them sit for about two days now and moving them around to help air them out but they are still pretty strong. Also when you have a lot of people that buy your freshies how do you prepare for the work load like what’s the process and length of time for things. If you could make a video that would be great I sometimes have to see it to know what people are talking about. 😊
@@karinavaldez5745 I got the blue glitter cross one. That was the only one I could smell through the plastic packaging so I thought “SURELY it’ll last a while if it’s that’s strong” who who’s though. It still smells good today! I guess we will see 😬
@@EvasCarFreshies1 any recommendations? Sorry I am so new and I am trying to get the materials and also where do you get the little spoon for the mica powder?
@@ivetten8502 I got them from Lowe’s. I don’t have the box anymore but they’re maybe 2 inches long? I’m not sure exactly but honestly almost any nails will work
My daughter loved that video and was taking notes.
I bought her everything she needs.
How amazing! Thank yall for watching and good luck to yall ☺️
Stellar step-by-step simple tutorial with concise and clear narration! Well Done!!!! Thank you😊
Will you put out a video on how you did the more complex ones please. Also do you make in silicone molds? Video?
I love the wrangler and mom ones

Hello, what is the brand of the scent proof bags?
Hi I'm thinking about trying to make these I watched how video thank you for posting .
Yay! I was like so how much did she put 😱 I searched your info and saw on the blog how much you put ! Love you videos girl keep it up ! And thanks for helping 🥰
I didn’t realize I accidentally deleted that part 🤦🏻♀️ I’m sorry. It’s in this video now. Thanks so much 💕
Very nice tutorial. I just thought it would be fun to make these.
Thanks for the tutorial, appreciated. I know it depend on size but i wonder how long last long the one in the video you made it? 🙂
Do you use a cricket to make decals to stick on?
Does it not melt when the car is standing in the sun/heat? And what about the decoration you add with the hot glue gun, does it stay or melt in that same situation? Thank you so much, learning a lot!

So any type of fragrance oil is good? I found one that says "fragrance oil for diffuser and home scenting"
i rlly wanna start making them but i still am so confused :/ any other videos on how to make them will rlly help! especially videos of where you got your supplies and what all i rlly need to make them!
Hi. I can make another video soon answering questions. Where I get my supplies is in the description of the video. I hope this helps
Can you add glitter in the freshie before baking!

How long does it last
How long does the cent last?
Where do you buy your beads and oil from?
Ok I will try it
Good luck :)
How do you paint the cute designs on them?
I use puff paint. or I will print and glue cardstock to them.
Amazing! Thank you for being so informative!
You’re welcome. Thank you for watching and Interacting
Very cool!! Now wish us luck!!
Good luck :) I hope all is going well!
Hi, thank you for sharing this. Does the fragrance oil needs to be 100% oil based? Thank you
Yes!
Loved the video ❤ how long does the scent last ?
Thank you! Usually 4-6 weeks if made properly
@@EvasCarFreshies1 thank you! ☺️ I want to start making some I will definitely come back once I get the materials. I only need to use metal cookie cutters or is there anything else I can use for the design?
What is your favorite fragrance oil? I heard you mention it in the multi color video but couldn’t find the name.
I enjoyed the tutorial. I have a question. When the car gets hot in the summer, does the hot glue release the wee sunflower? It gets 108° plus in my car in summer. Could you use E 6000 or some type of super glue instead?
Question what if beads are still moist been weeks I even added more beads about 8 days ago
Can you blend the aroma beads to have a nice smooth car freshener ?
Yes, you can.
I have silicone molds can I put a nail in them or will the nail melt the mold?
Do you air out your aroma beads before putting in the fragrance oil ? I bought some aroma beads but they smell like vinegar. Great video 👏🏽🤩enjoyed it!!
I do. I air them out for a day or two before using. Thank you so much
Air them out until the vinegar smell is gone . Sometimes it’s takes longer than a day
I’m just getting started. I made my first freshie which was the small cross . What made the beads sink in the middle of the freshie? It still had edges but it sank in the middle all the way around.
Maybe too much dye or too much oil. Were the beads completely dry?!
@@EvasCarFreshies1 yes they were dry. The next one I made using the same beads from the same batch didn’t sink. I put the colored glitter in with the beads and oil. I thought I had filled it up all the way the first time. It was. Silicone mold. Came with a kit.
Can you add micro color and glitters when you add the oils or will it affect the product when you bake it
I am not sure. Have never thought about doing that. so sorry!
hello amazing video one question i don't own a oven what could be the next good thing. and how long do the last and can you add more sent if possible.
hi there. you can use a small conventional oven. they last 2-4 weeks usually. no you cannot add more scent. the beads only absorb so much oil
What size do you use for the scent proof bags
5x7 😀
new subscriber here ! I've watched a lot of videos and yours by far are my favorite !!
that makes me so happy. thank you so much!!!!!
Does it make your oven smell like the oil? Does it leave the scent behind when you cook food after?
Honestly I’d prob buy a separate Convection oven so that I’m not messing up my big oven lol,
I bought a $20 toaster oven at Walmart for mine
@@hollydavis4060it doesn’t mess up your oven. The fragrance oil sent won’t linger in your oven.
Separate oven isn’t needed and don’t use a convection oven. The air will disperse the beads. You don’t want that. The fragrance doesn’t linger in your oven.
What size mason jars do you like to use to soak your beads
Hi! I use the 32 oz jars!
@@EvasCarFreshies1 thank you!!
you are so welcome :)@@stacylee6173
Where do you get your fragrance oils?
Lonestar Candle Supply ❤️
Can you use shrink wrap
Does oil weigh the same as is measures? Liquid is usually measured in liquid volume
Not sure this is just how I have always measured it and never had issues
Can I use any kind of fragrance oil or do it have to be oil for candles
Where did you get the pocket ( wrangler sign ) ?
have you made mini freshies? If so, baking times or recommendation?
TIA!!
P.S. - love your video!! You explain everything well.
Thanks so much. I haven’t but I would start at 5-7 minutes and watch them for your first time. Just to be safe.
Where can I get the big bottles of scented oil
Lonestar has great options! They're 16oz bottles
Love the tutorial 🥰
Thanks SO MUCH 😊
Love this!!!!
Thank you 😊
Does it melt from the heat in the car?
How do they hold up in a hot car?

I would say a few months (personal experience) feel free to make one and leave it in the bag and use it months later so you will know for yourself :)
Can you put multiple of different smells in the oven?
yes you can

How do you add the different colors?
I use cardstock or foil to separate the colors or combs.

What oils do you use?
I get them from lonestar candle supply
What sz jars do u use?
Can you show me a link where you get all your materials (beads, molds, scents etc)
it is in the description :)
I couldn't get mine out of the cookie cutters any tips?
What size bags do you store them in? My daughter wants to make the ones with the clips that go on the vents but the bags I bought are to small.
5x7 are my favorite
Where do you buy your cookie cutter molds for the car freshies?
I buy them from amazon or stay fresh with peanut :)
My aroma beads are losing their scents in the sealed mason jar. I noticed a week out after they dried. How do I keep the scent strong?
@@kellyobrien3303 that doesn't happen to me and I have been doing this for a long time. You may be used to the smell that's all

Love in advance 🙂
I have the link to where I get all of my supplies in the description 😊
I just received my SFWP order today! So I still have to cure, then but does it matter if the oven is gas also is the time different if it's a silicone mold?
How exciting. No it doesn’t matter but every oven is different so time and temps will vary. Yes silicone molds take longer to bake
I love how the video started ❤️ thank you for sharing !
Thank you and you’re welcome 😇
Could you use a heat gun?
To melt them? No.
Where did you get your scale from?
amazon. it is in the description of the video :)
I saw the reel of the Mexican flag freshie. Is there a video on that
There is not but I can definitely add it to my list of videos 😀
Can you tell me where you got the cookie cutter to make the flag
@@mandielias3023 I got it from Amazon. Rectangle cookie cutter. About 4”

How can I order the cap 🧢 card stock?
I do not sell them but there are some for sale on Etsy :)
How many freshies did you get out of the supplies you just demonstrated?
5-6
How long does the smell last?
Usually 4-6 weeks if made properly
How do we make them with color?
add a little bit of mica powder how I did in this video. I just used white in this video.
@@EvasCarFreshies1 thank you so much
How long can u leave them in the jars
for months. I have had some for almost a year and they work well
How many freshies can you m ake with a 1 mason jar? How many did you get out of the one made in this video? Tnx
it honestly varies on the size of the freshie. I would say 4-6 freshies.
Hi!! How many freshies does each jar make you?
about 5-7 depending on the size
How long does it last
3-6 weeks if made properly

yes, do that. it sounds like you put too much oil.

It all depends on your time, costs and what you want to price them at. Don’t low ball yourself. I sell mine from $10-$14
I was told I can’t use my daily oven is that true?
