Thank you ☺️

[@sylviatorres5882]

Yes I would love to see a tutorial on how to make card stock circle prints . I have a silhouette . Great video loved this

[@FarmhouseDesigns]

Definitely going to work on that soon! I have a cricut, hopefully for others that use different cutters it will still be helpful 😬

do you have a tutorial on how to make the card stock pieces you add to the freshie?

You’re welcome, thank you for watching! You mean the little spoon I use for the mica powder? It came with the set of micas I ordered from Amazon! www.amazon.com/Soap-dye-colorant-coloring-projects/dp/B077B42YB8

[@ashleycortez30]

Too cute, love that holographic glitter that you used what is the name of it? And are the vent clips that you used on the back of the ventie the same vent clips that come on those febreze car air freshener vent clips for your car?

[@designsbykellycruz1142]

Love the video. If you were to put out wooden beads on the string, what size beads do you recommend?

[@yaraliza]

Awesome!!!

[@FarmhouseDesigns]

Thank you! ☺️

[@aprilsweet8880]

My daughter wants to make these for her Volleyball team. You have the best tutorials. I do wish you had links for what you use. But I've been crafting for years (not these) so I can find the stuff. You make it look so easy. Awesome job!!! 💙💙. Love the tassels!!!!

[@FarmhouseDesigns]

That’s a great idea! If you have a cricut or some kind of cutting machine she could cut her teammates numbers onto heat transfer vinyl and place it in the cutter or mold, pour the beads and bake them onto the back ☺️ I have been meaning to add links into the description but struggle to find the time.....it’s something I want to work on for sure! One of the fun things about these is that they are remarkably easy to make! Thank you for your comment and for watching!

[@OnePlus-pb1ds]

How long do the beads last? Do the smell slowly disappear?💜

[@FarmhouseDesigns]

I’m not sure which time frame you’re referring to but in the jar they last well over a year, after baked but packaged correctly 6-8 months and once they are in a vehicle it depends a lot on the weather. In the hot summer months they last about 4 weeks but in cooler months they typically last 8-10 weeks depending on the fragrance.

[@kaciemcwhorter5430]

How do you package your venties for shipping ? I am scared the clip is going to break off.

[@FarmhouseDesigns]

If the clip is secure it won’t break off, I know this because I reuse the clips on my own venties I it’s a struggle to get them off. But you could always ship them in a small box.

[@yurisguzman0901]

What size rounds does that mold make? Awsome work!

[@FarmhouseDesigns]

4 inch

[@PBVA614]

Do you always presoak and then add color as you make the freshies? Is that best practice? Especially is you like to make multiple colors?

[@LittleLadyk2002]

Great Video. Will the fragrance oils eat into the dash material or plastic if it ends up laying against it? Kids play with them.

[@FarmhouseDesigns]

Yes, you never want to leave them on a hot dash, first problem would be that there is a higher chance of it melting if it’s just sitting on the dash, second problem would be the oils in the freshie discoloring or eating away the paint/finish. I have vent clips in my car that overlap the vent and are touching the dash/console and they haven’t damaged anything but I would definitely avoid leaving one on the dash under the windshield in direct sunlight.

[@karikushner4705]

Can’t seem to find OVEN SAFE vent clips. Most say you should out in the oven because they could melt.

[@nataliecervantes1173]

Love this! Great job! In what section of hobby lobby are the molds in?

[@FarmhouseDesigns]

Thank you! The pink circle molds are in the baking section and the green cactus mold is in the themed party section ☺️

I got that one from Hobby Lobby in the baking section ☺️

@@FarmhouseDesigns thank you ❤️‍🔥

[@WeirdFlex]

What size are those molds

[@reynacastilleja1617]

What’s the fragrance that you used.? I only see that you put color but not fragrance

[@FarmhouseDesigns]

I don’t remember what fragrance they were, those beads were already scented, cured and ready to go before I filmed this. In some of my earlier videos I show how to scent beads so in this one I skipped showing that because it’s specifically to show decorating techniques.

[@CourtStrickland]

I can’t find the silicone cactus tray at hobby lobby 😭 would resin molds work?

[@candlesbypurplerose1010]

I have seen tutorials where the cardstock is placed inside the mold and then the beads poured in. The cardstock is then as heated permanently to the Freshies. Will this work? Do you think they would burn? Have you tried it that way? Comments please

[@tracytakahata8422]

Hi! How long does the scent last for? These are adorable!

[@FarmhouseDesigns]

Thank you! Scent usually lasts between 3-6 wks…..depends on how strong the fragrance is and the climate.

[@rofhulufhelaevans327]

Great video! How many freshies you can make (same size as the one on this video) with 3lb Beads?

[@FarmhouseDesigns]

Thank you! Do you mean just the round hanging freshie? You can make about 21 with 3 lbs. If you’re asking about the whole set I’m really not sure....but estimating the two cactus equal about one hanging round I would say you could make 9 or 10 complete sets (the whole set would be the hanging freshie and two cactus vent clips).

[@19901615]

Where do you get the bear from are they the same as the laundry beads?

[@FarmhouseDesigns]

Best place to order them from are candle companies, they are not the same as laundry beads! Buyitshipit.com Makefreshies.com Stayfreshwithpeanut.com Lonestarcandlesupply.com

[@teshafox7594]

When did she put the fragrance in?

[@trinitypuckett3663]

What size silicone mold do you use for the vent clip freshies? I don’t want them to be too big for the vents so want to make sure I get the correct size.

[@FarmhouseDesigns]

The cactus are maybe on the bigger end for vent clips (3 inches) so I would stay below that. Several of the freshie mold makers make vent clip molds specifically for venties so if you order from one of those companies you can be sure they are the right size.

[@Michelle88-hola]

Does you plastic containers soak up your fragrance? I use glass jars but might switch.

[@FarmhouseDesigns]

I only put my beads into plastic containers once they are completely dry and I make sure I use the ones in plastic within a month. I do that mostly because I don’t feel like the plastic seals up air tight like the mason jars with the rubber seal. But as long as your plastic container has a triangle with a “5” in it the plastic itself will not absorb your scents.

[@kyleelemon615]

I have a silhouette and I’m trying to figure out how to cut out the designs in circles on the card stock?

[@FarmhouseDesigns]

I have filmed my cardstock tutorial and am in the editing process, I hope to have it uploaded tomorrow!! I have a cricut, not a silhouette but hopefully it’s still helpful!

[@beccijackson297]

I thought you were suppose to let the beads soak in scent for a couple days????

[@19camero67]

Did you put fragrance in the beads?

[@FarmhouseDesigns]

Yes. I just didn’t show that part in this video because I’ve already done it in others.

[@lissaluvyou]

Am new to making freshies. Is it safe to use the same oven that i use to cook with for the freshie? And what type of plastic container is best if i choose not to use the Mason jars. Thank u

[@FarmhouseDesigns]

People seem to consider using your home oven safe, you are heating and melting plastic soaked in fragrance chemicals so if you are really concerned about it you can use a small toaster oven. I use my regular oven and it doesn’t contaminate my food (that I can tell) but like I said, if it’s something you are worried about then it’s better to be safe than sorry.

[@SimmerJas]

What is your FO ratio? And does baking them effect the smell of the beads?

[@FarmhouseDesigns]

8:2.....sometimes with my really strong fragrances I add a little less oil.

[@jordangray3997]

@@FarmhouseDesigns 8 oz beads to 2 oz oil?! I didn't think they would hold that much

What I’m using in the video is from Hobby Lobby but they don’t have a great selection. There are websites that sell glitter for resin tumblers that offer a much larger selection of BEAUTIFUL glitter!

@@FarmhouseDesigns Hi! What section of Hobby Lobby is the glitter you got? I love this one you used and want to make sure I get the right kind. I'd like to try to just pick some up there and try it since I'm just starting out before I place a glitter order.

[@kaylabarrett4453]

Can you hot glue the vent clip on instead of baking it in it? Or is it best to just put the clip in after it bakes?

[@FarmhouseDesigns]

There are people that hot glue them on but sometimes when it gets hot enough outside the hot glue can get soft again and the weight of the freshie can cause them to fall off. If you would like to use hot glue I suggest that you make an indent with the clip when the freshie is still hot so it will hug the clip a bit more when you glue it on and also use a high temp hot glue, I think Gorilla Glue makes a high temp glue stick.

Can u use holographic glitter with cookie cutter freshies?

Yes you can! You have to use a silicone mat under your cutters to get the same effect though, you can’t do it directly on the cookie sheet and get the same look.

[@MotherofMiniDinos]

I don’t sell cardstock but you can buy it on Etsy just search “cardstock for freshies” or if you have Facebook there’s a freshie group with a lot of ladies that do make and sell it. Once you’re in the group you can search “destash” and posts will pop up, scroll through the comments and you’ll find all the ladies selling cardstock, the link for the group is below! facebook.com/groups/757895224617677/?ref=share

You have your viewers join for whatever monthly membership you want to charge. $5, $10, $15 a month. You let them see in depth info or let them see tutorials first say a week before the public on KZbin. Then you can run contests where they can win prizes like a tumbler or supplies.

What size are these molds?

[@lahlahlisa810]

Could you use E6000 glue rather than hot glue ? I have been wondering 😬

[@FarmhouseDesigns]

I’ve never used E6000 on freshies, I feel like I have seen some people say that it works. Best advice I can give would be to try it and test it in your own car.

[@bethaniehoover5650]

I have used E6000 on vent clips to hold, works wonders.

[@rolandcoyle9698]

We’re your beads fragranced and dried before you added color?

[@FarmhouseDesigns]

Yes! You can do it both ways and I was afraid to color after for the longest time because I saw in another video that the beads didn’t stick together if you colored after but as long as you don’t add too much mica it’s not a problem, I’ve never had beads fall off.

Absolutely!

[@sheilastevick3108]

You don't soak your beads for 24-48 hours in the fragrance oil?

[@FarmhouseDesigns]

Sorry for the delayed response, I’ve been recovering from covid so I’m a little (a lot) behind. Yes, I soak my beads but the length of time depends on the oil, sometimes they have soaked and are dry within 8 hours and others take up to 7 days to dry. After they are dry I let them sit for an additional 7 days before I use them.
