Without further ado, let’s get started.
MASON JAR AIR FRESHENER FOR CLOSET, DRAWER, OR BATHROOM
It’s perfect for freshening up your clothes drawer, closet or any small space, such as the bathroom.
WHAT YOU NEED TO MAKE THIS…
- Small / Medium Mason Jar with lid. Remove the center.
- 5in x 5in Fabric Circle
- Toothpick
- 2 TBSP Baking Soda
- 4 TBSP GAIN-In Wash Scent Booster
This idea is so quick and easy!
STEP 1: I added Baking Soda and Gain Scent Booster to a mason jar.
STEP 2: I cut out a 5in x 5in piece of fabric into a circle and poked holes in the center with a toothpick for ventilation. and screwed the lid back on. That’s it, it’s good to go!
AIR FRESHENER SPRAY FOR CAR, UPHOLSTERY, CLOTHING, or SMALL ROOM
This spray can be used on practically anything, such as the car, clothing, upholstery, shoes….anything!
WHAT YOU NEED TO MAKE THIS…
- 4oz Spray Bottle with spray pump
- (optional) Label / Embellishment

- 3 1/2 oz Distilled Water
STEP 1: Pour 3 1/2 ounces of hot water into a 4-ounce spray bottle. Drop 2 Tablespoons of the GAIN scent boost pebbles and give it a shake.
It will take several minutes for the scent boost pebbles to dissolve, once it does, give it another shake.

This took 5 minutes to make!
