When I bake my freshness… I don’t like the bumpy side so before I remove them from the mold ( while they are cooling) I take a flat edge of my dowel and smoosh it down then I release it…flip it over and bake it again on that bumpy side for a few minutes and it comes out smoother and it looks better. I like your idea of the eye hook 🤩
@@FarmhouseDesigns I just noticed that auto correct changed freshies to freshness 😳 anyway… after they bake on the first round I take my sponge tip dabber brush and pounce the edges down as well as the middle just a bit. When it releases from the mold I leave it on the baking sheet and reheat a second time… I like how it turns out
New subscriber. I’m thinking about making these to add to my inventory of other items that I make. They are so cute!! Came across your channel while viewing other freshie videos. I love the way yours turned out and how you explain things so well. Thank you. I’ll be binge watching your videos! 😊
THANK YOU so much for your tutorial!! I finally understand how to get the jute & bow to look nice now!! I cannot tell you how long I have struggled!!! ADORABLE Freshies!!!
Really like the eye screw technique. Great idea melting it in part way up the actual eye. Very classy touch. And I bet they rarely if ever melt off though Cars do get HOT depending on where you live SUPER Hot too. Thanks for sharing your ideas so well too.
How long do you bake them for and at what degree? Been making freshies for a few years now but lately my last couple of batches coming out looking a little funky when they melt
You video was one of the better ones I watched on car freshies... do you mention in any of your video"s on how much you would charge for 1? interested in how you price them, thanks again for a awesome tutorial....
Hi, Thanks for sharing your process! These look great and you explain everything well😃 It has been awhile since you posted this, I am curious if any of your testers experienced any eyescrew fallout. What climate range are you selling in mostly? We get triple digits in the summer...curious.
Save some stress and use a small piece of foil to put a drop of super glue on to dip the eye screw in, then screw it into the freshie and that puppy will stay put. Keep up the great helpful videos!
I’ve seen that trick! I typically don’t have issues getting them out of the cutters and even when I use cooking spray for actual cooking I end up spraying it everywhere 🥴
I actually got mine from a small cooking shop in the town I live in. I think it was actually labeled 3” biscuit cutter. You’re welcome, thank you for watching!
I’ve had no problem this summer! My car is black with black interior and not well tinted, it sits in direct sun all day with the sun coming directly into the windshield for at least half the day. Of course that doesn’t mean it could never possibly melt and fall off but I feel like the odds of it happening is the same as if it were strung through a hole in the freshie
Thank you for sharing your information❤️. Random question and may seem stupid but do you use different cups to color in for each scent or just keep using the same cup? Also do you decrease the temp for baking when you use the card stock? Love your style.
Hi, love your car freshies and want to make some after watching you. Did the freshies melt in the cars of your friends and family that were testing them in the summer? Just curious. Do I need to screw in eye screw? Thank you!
Hi! Thank you so much 😊. I have made and sold thousands of freshies at least half were done with eye screws and to my knowledge none of mine have ever melted. With that being said they can melt and it does happen. Unfortunately, within the freshie making community, we have not been able to pin point the reason why some melt and others don’t. I am intentionally reckless with the ones I put in my own car, I make dark colors, I have a black car with all black interior and my car is parked all day long with the sun directly on my windshield for the hottest part of the day with no sun shade and I live in southern-ish Texas where summers a very hot! And never have I had one melt and yet I see posts on fb where one has melted in Ohio on a 72 degree day 🤷🏻♀️ There is always the potential but I don’t see it happen often. Also, it doesn’t matter if it’s on the eye screw or a hole through the freshie, I’ve seen it happen to both. And no, you don’t have to screw in the eye screw, you can do whatever works best for you 😊

Yes I have, many! It’s actually one of the designs I’m featuring in this series. I filmed it already but I was pressed for time so it’s rushed and I don’t know if I like it so I may have to do a whole new one but it is coming 😊
I would say in break down cost, if your printing your own cardstock these are much more cost effective than others for several different reasons. 1. It takes less beads to fill these cutters than it does most molds 2. Cutters are cheaper than molds 3. They take much less time to finish up post baking because there’s no paint or glitter added after baking…..time=money 4. The ribbon is cheap and one roll goes a long way with these types of bows Really the only thing that’s a little pricey on these is the bubblegum beads, they can range from $.29-$.45 per bead but I put the beads on most of my freshies now so all in all this design is still the least expensive one for me to make.
So when I first started out (and in my first freshie tutorial) I was going by volume but now I weigh everything, beads and oil. The beads on most websites are listed as able to absorb a certain percentage of their weight, so the only way to know you’re not going over that limit is to weigh everything.
Send one down to me I’m from south Texas close to the border girl our heat is crazy over 100 degree I’ll be your test dummy any time u wanna try new product for reals.. ❤😊
It’s been almost 2 weeks and my aroma beads are still sticking to the jar :( I did 6 different scents and they are all the same. Does it sound like I put too much fragrance?
@@FarmhouseDesigns 4oz beads 1oz oil. I watched 10-15 videos and they all said that ratio 😅 even the brand of beads and oil I used made a RUclips video saying that
I have a question about the beads you said you at times buy yours from buyitshipit I went to buyitshipit and place an order of beads but they asked what shape of beads my question is what shape do you buy? Thank you

And when you bake it the second time it’s not in the mold? It doesn’t loose it’s shape at all when you do that?
@@FarmhouseDesigns I put it back in the mold

@@Craftynutdesigns interesting!
Awww, I love the bumpy side😂
Do you have a video on how to print your own cardstock? These are just the cutest!!!
This is my question too!😊

Do you have a tutorial on how to do the cardstock? Where to find the designs, how to cut them so perfectly etc.?
Hi, Thanks for sharing your process! These look great and you explain everything well😃 It has been awhile since you posted this, I am curious if any of your testers experienced any eyescrew fallout. What climate range are you selling in mostly? We get triple digits in the summer...curious.

How do these hold up in Arizona? I want to buy one but I'm scared of it melting and messing up my dash.
What temperature do you bake them in your oven on and how long?
Spray the cookie cutter with pam or some oil spray. The freshies come out easier.
I’ve seen that trick! I typically don’t have issues getting them out of the cutters and even when I use cooking spray for actual cooking I end up spraying it everywhere 🥴
Can we get an update? Did the hooks last throughout the summer or did the freshies melt off?
Where did you get your circle cookie? Thank you for your time in showing us how to make car freshies
I actually got mine from a small cooking shop in the town I live in. I think it was actually labeled 3” biscuit cutter. You’re welcome, thank you for watching!
I really like the eye hooks; have you had any melt with your testers? Thank you
Thank you so much for this informative video.
I just started watching you. These are amazing. What are your best selling scents?
Very cute details, i would pay someone to do my bows ;)
Hey! Love your videos. What size Card Stock do you use for the 3 inch mold? Thanks!! :)
I size my cardstock to 2.85” 😊
@Farmhouse I don't see an update on the eye screws. Did they come out or are they still good?
Any update on how the eye screw held up of the summer?
I’ve had no problem this summer! My car is black with black interior and not well tinted, it sits in direct sun all day with the sun coming directly into the windshield for at least half the day. Of course that doesn’t mean it could never possibly melt and fall off but I feel like the odds of it happening is the same as if it were strung through a hole in the freshie
Love this video! ♥️ What sizes of ribbon were you using to make the bows?
Love your video, looks easy. What do you sell them for in your area? The round ones?
These I sell for $8 but I sell mostly local and I live in a small town, if you’re selling in a larger city or online you can easily go $10 😊
Thank you for sharing your information❤️. Random question and may seem stupid but do you use different cups to color in for each scent or just keep using the same cup? Also do you decrease the temp for baking when you use the card stock? Love your style.
Is the beads already scented. Im new to this. Love the info
Questions?! Any cardstock? Print your design- any ink will work? Do you scent the cardstock?

Where can I get this silicone mat?! Looking all over amazon and cannot find it! Do you have a link ❤
Here ya go, sorry for the late response!
www.amazon.com/LEOBRO-Silicone-Placemat-Multipurpose-Heat-Resistant/dp/B07V9KMNGY/ref=mp_s_a_1_13?crid=27GAZXX0TW22N&keywords=silicone+mats+for+crafts&qid=1676055822&sprefix=silicone++mat%2Caps%2C328&sr=8-13
Would hot glue work when putting the screw in? Save the hearing screw with lighter- maybe?
What brand and weigh of card stock please. Thank you
Where did you get the mat from and the car stock from
What kind of string are you using? Thank you
Can you do a video on how you organize all your supplies? Your girl is struggling a bit and it’s stressing me out.
How much to you sell those for? And where do you live? Only cuz prices are regional and I could adjust. Thank you
Where do you get smelly beads to put in oven
Thanks for this tutorial. Do you print your own cardstock pics to add to the freshie?
You’re welcome! Yes, I do.
Could you thread the twine in a large needle ? And thread the bead that way?
What glitter did you use on the lightning bolt freshie??
great video.. love them
How long do you bake each mold for?
I have a question I have problems with the small tassels and the little hook that it goes on can you help me
have you ever tried to do a geode freshie? if so can you show us your way off doing it?
Yes I have, many! It’s actually one of the designs I’m featuring in this series. I filmed it already but I was pressed for time so it’s rushed and I don’t know if I like it so I may have to do a whole new one but it is coming 😊
omg great! i’ll stay tuned!
what size beads are you using?
what shape of beads do you buy?
Thanks
How much do you preheat your oven to?
How much do they sell for?
Do they hang from the rearview mirror?
I sell these for $8 without a bow and $9 with a bow. Yes, they hang from the rear view 😊
I like your mica spoon. Amazon? 😊
Yes, it actually came with the mica set I bought….it’s a life saver for me!
what size cookie cutter was you using again
I am going to start a student business making Freshies next year. What is the difference in pricing/cost between these and the others?
I would say in break down cost, if your printing your own cardstock these are much more cost effective than others for several different reasons.
1. It takes less beads to fill these cutters than it does most molds

Do you weigh your aroma beads by weight or volume?
So when I first started out (and in my first freshie tutorial) I was going by volume but now I weigh everything, beads and oil. The beads on most websites are listed as able to absorb a certain percentage of their weight, so the only way to know you’re not going over that limit is to weigh everything.
Ok, thank you! I’m a beginner, and really appreciate your replies to my questions 😊
Do you protect the cardstock with anything?
Nope!
Where did you get your pre-cut card stock? Already printed?
I print it myself but there are many shops on Etsy that sell pre made cardstock
@@FarmhouseDesigns do you use just inkjet printer
Instead of card stock, would stickers work on the flat side?
No they don’t. Because the beads are soaked in oil they won’t stick.
I super glue the stickers
Do you have an online business so I can purchase freshies? Thank you. They are lovely!
Thank you ☺️ I do. I have a Facebook page under “Farmhouse 1205 Designs” Right now I’m on a short break but should reopen orders in about a week.
Where do u buy cardstock
Send one down to me I’m from south Texas close to the border girl our heat is crazy over 100 degree I’ll be your test dummy any time u wanna try new product for reals.. ❤😊
Where do you get beads?
I always get my beads from Buy It Ship It, they have the lowest prices that I’ve found and they process their orders at an impressive speed 😊
It’s been almost 2 weeks and my aroma beads are still sticking to the jar :( I did 6 different scents and they are all the same. Does it sound like I put too much fragrance?
What amount of beads and oil did you mix for each?
@@FarmhouseDesigns 4oz beads 1oz oil. I watched 10-15 videos and they all said that ratio 😅 even the brand of beads and oil I used made a RUclips video saying that
@@adrianapusateri5502 and you measured by weight?
@@adrianapusateri5502 where did you get the beads and oil from?
@@FarmhouseDesigns yes :/ I can still see a big puddle of oil in the bottom of the jars and when I shake them. Starting to guess my scale was wrong
How do you cut the cardstock?
What mm size are these beads
The beads are 20mm 🙂
Hi guys, I’m new to freshies. I have a few questions. Is this regular printer or card stock? When /how much fragrance do I put in and when?
It’s cardstock! Also for me I personally use 1oz of fragrance oils for every 4oz of beads.
🥰Hello and thank you for sharing 🤗
