Fancy Air Freshener

I see these sticks-in-a-jar type of air fresheners all the time at stores, but you can make them for a lot cheaper if you have a few things lying around the house. Even if you don't its still less expensive than what they're going for at the stores. This one cost me $2 to make. Anyway enjoy!

Step 1 Materials

I guess the hardest part to this instructable is getting the materials. You'll need...

- bamboo skewer sticks (these can be found at the grocery store probably in the grilling isle)
- a small vase or container (i got mine at ikea for $2 but really anything smallish with a small neck will work)
- smelly stuff (i used this body spray stuff that i found around the house but cheap oil air fresheners would probably work i got the other one shown at a dollar store)

thanks for the instructable :D
I just make mine in 2minutes and it works very well
...I used a brush to saturate the sticks, and I put the vase in front of an open window to spread the fragrance faster

It works really well with pure peppermint extract, which you can get at a grocery store for pretty cheap.

Anybody have a good recipe for the oil?

It looks really nice. I have the perfect vase for it so I'm going to go try it right now.
