DIY Car Freshies

#DIYCarFreshies #ValentinesCarFreshies
Today I’ll show you how to make Car Freshies with bubblegum beads, glitter and cardstock! We will go over how to make 2 different styles for Valentine’s day. You can get a good 4-6 weeks of scent out of these depending on the temp and humidity. These work great in closets, cars, Christmas trees, or hang them in a room for a safe, flameless scent that lasts and lasts.

Just came across your video and I love the beads. Can you tell me what size the beads are? They are perfect with your string and your freshie!!🩷

[@FlynnSistersBoutique]

20mm

[@daniieeland9261]

Do you have a video of you showing how to get the back so flat and nice or just applying them to the pan makes them like that?

[@FlynnSistersBoutique]

Having them against the pan will make them flat like that.

[@rm2050]

I love this! How do you package for shipping and what do you tell people as far as how to use/dispose of when “empty”

[@FlynnSistersBoutique]

My older freshie video which is linked in the description box will show you how I package them for shipping. And I would just tell people to throw them out in the garbage once they lose their scent.

[@sbgtf4ever]

Ok so you tube needs a love button

[@FlynnSistersBoutique]

Thank you 😊

[@kristilynnwilliams5467]

The round ones remind me of bottle caps! Lol. Love it! Is this safe to use in your household oven or is this one you need a separate convection oven for?

[@FlynnSistersBoutique]

It’s safe in your oven. The smell dissipates really quickly! If you plan to make a lot tho I’d get a dedicated small oven

[@ChesneyAdventures]

Hello. I just purchased a freshie mold because i loved the angel wings with a heart in the middle, but i was curious as to what a freshie was so here i am. My question is.. can i mix it with resin as in put the freshie in the middle the pour resin on the sides - for the wings ? Thanks.

[@FlynnSistersBoutique]

If it is a silicone mold and you don't pour deep, yes. But I wouldn't use it as a traditional freshie, leaving it in your car.

[@ms1235001]

How do you get yours to just pop out!?!? Mine never do! you make it look so effortless! Gonna make these today!

[@FlynnSistersBoutique]

I’m not sure 🤔 maybe cook times? I get that a lot in my comments but mine have never really stuck so I’m not sure

[@Jay-jc4mh]

I’m kinda surprised that I’m learning from this since my scents only take about 1 day to dry depending on the scent but tysm this helps fix my mistakes that I’m making

[@kristinniehoff3233]

Ive been wanting to try my go at these & I def think im gna use the same company thanks to you! I also wanted to ask where u got ur circle trimmer..that is a hand little gadget i just didnt see it linked in the comments🖤

[@FlynnSistersBoutique]

I got it from Amazon but it’s not my favorite. I’d recommend finding a better one at the craft store

[@dianebowen6970]

Probably a dumb question, but... do you bake these in your regular oven or a convection oven? Thanks! Love your videos, I learn so much!

[@FlynnSistersBoutique]

Regular oven is fine

[@suecooper2971]

[@shalonl.9952]

What was the verdict on square/flat vs round beads!?

[@FlynnSistersBoutique]

Both are great! I honestly didn’t noticed a difference

[@jackiemurphy9679]

Love these! Are they the 12mm or 20mm beads? Super cute idea - Thank you!

[@FlynnSistersBoutique]

They’re 20mm 😊

[@VacationFunGirl]

These are amazing, I do have a question, is this like sublimations that you should not use your house oven?

[@FlynnSistersBoutique]

Yes 👍

[@tiffanyadams4551]

These are beautiful!! If I buy the 1 MM cord and of course doubled to slide the beads on, size beads do I need to get? (Middle hole)

[@christianarodriguez9979]

What do you use to keep the glitter in place?

[@FlynnSistersBoutique]

I didn’t seal the glitter on these I just brushed the excess off really well. You can seal it with a mod podge non aerosol spray sealer tho amzn.to/3R9hWrJ

[@sunnstarzsm]

Hello! So, I am a tad late on finding out about these "freshies", but I have a newbie question that may have already been asked. Also, it may sound a little rude, but I truly want to know. I didn't hear if you mentioned how long the scent is going to last or when it will begin to fade after baking? I realize that it won't last as long in the car, especially in the warmer temps, BUT regardless of how long, is it worth spending the extra $$ and well, I guess the time as well, to put the vinyl, card stock and the beads on instead of just the roping since the fragrance is not permanent? I am still curious as to the length of time the scent will last though. Oh and also, when putting the card stock, vinyl, glue, & glitter on, wouldn't they prevent the scent from fully being able to be released? Thank you very much! Stacie in the Youngstown, Ohio area.

[@christinarogers8285]

Love this!!! May I ask where you got the circle cutter like that? I’ve never seen one like that?

[@FlynnSistersBoutique]

Thank you 😊 It is a fiskars brand circle cutter. You can find them on Amazon.

[@christinarogers8285]

@@FlynnSistersBoutique you’re welcome and thank you! I just wanted to say that I seen your reel about your 3 lives, and you are such an inspiration to me in so many ways!

[@lindao7887]

I need that "circle trimmer" where? (please) and, what actually DOES happen to the freshie if it is exposed to a hot car too often? Does it actually drip from melting, or just start to deform or what?

[@FlynnSistersBoutique]

Circle cutter can be found on amazon. It doesn’t drip melt it just will warp slightly

[@lindao7887]

@@FlynnSistersBoutique LOL, I went to Amazon before I asked, I must have called it something different because it had no such thing, but this time there were a whole bunch of them - thank you again!

[@kimw4324]

Love this idea! I will be making some of these for sure! Question. You said the beads will last about 6 months in the jar. If packaged up in bags, how long do you think the finished product would last if making them for a craft fair?

[@FlynnSistersBoutique]

about the same time 😊

[@choclitsuga]

the heart one is so stinking cute - question - does the smell from the beads affect ur food cooked in oven

[@FlynnSistersBoutique]

No it dissipates really quickly but you could use a small dedicated oven if you wanted to. Just do a test run on cook time first

[@choclitsuga]

@@FlynnSistersBoutique - ok thanks - I have a convection oven i may use- Merry Christmas to you and ur family

[@miriamdelarosa5592]

Good afternoon. I love this idea. I have a question: once you melt the fragrance beads and you been using it until the smell is gone, can you put your heart for example in a jar and put more scent oil on it?

[@FlynnSistersBoutique]

I don’t think the beads will absorb the scent oils after it’s been baked

[@miriamdelarosa5592]

@@FlynnSistersBoutique thank so much for the reply. I love all your videos and will do some of this stuff.

[@lindao7887]

Have you tried natural scents; curious if for instance, lemon juice, or mint leaves or cinnamon or vanilla or things like that would work??? Ideas? (sometimes I try to save a little money) Also, are the beads totally dry when they've cured?

[@FlynnSistersBoutique]

Those won’t be absorbed by the beads the same as fragrance oils and those natural scents may not have the right flash point to withstand the heat in the oven. The beads aren’t totally dry, they’re a little bit oily but not enough to stick to the sides of the jar

How long can you leave them in a mason jar scented.

About 6 months

[@choclitsuga]

Can I use a convection oven?

[@danielle5113]

Hi would you recommend using the resin to the backside because I heard if you have the heat on and the freshies are in your vent it would melt but I had a problem in the summer I made a cup holder and the resin started melting ugh 😩 thanks 😩😫

[@FlynnSistersBoutique]

No I haven’t had that problem and I wouldn’t put resin on the beads as I don’t think it would bond well anyways. Also if your resin is melting then it’s not the right resin to use for products going into a vehicle. Most quality 2 part resins have a temp resistance of 500F so if it’s melting in a hot car then it’s not quality resin.

[@danielle5113]
