Yes, while the freshie is still hot, take a damp papertowel and press the beads down into the mold to really pickup those details. You can check out any of my newer freshie videos to see me do this.
Thanks so much for all your advice in all the videos they are so helpful I’m new to making freshies so I was wondering if I could ask a ? When I done an my freshies are dry I spray them with a glue so the paint an puff paint an glitter stay put the problem I’m having is the paint is like some times sticking to the bag 🤷🏼♀️any suggestions? Thanks so much Take Care an your videos are so helpful
Thank you for this! I recently bought some of these items off of Amazon so it's nice to see them in use. Do you find a difference in coloring your beads when you cure vs. right before you bake or just a preference? I'm sorry if you've answered that before!
Thanks for watching! Yes I have found a difference- although I see a lot of people coloring right before they bake, I have found that the coloring is more pigmented when you color the beads before curing and it doesn't rub off. Every freshie that I colored before I bake, if I rubbed my finger on it the mica would be all over my finger. So just to avoid that (as a personal prefrence) I color all of mine before curing. Hope this helps!
You're site still shows out of stock for your kits 😢 ive been watching and waiting! Lol my daughter is so excited to try one to hang in her room (yes i totally told her they are meant for the car) but shes a crafter at heart and is anxious to make some freshies. Love your haul!
Oh nooo! I restocked inventory and added to the site but maybe I didn't hit save 🤦♀️ I just checked and it should show them as available now (let me know if you're still having issues)!
Thanks! It can depend on a few factors but I'd say several weeks/a couple months, assuming the scents aren't weak (and you're storing them in thick bags in a cool/dry place)
Hi my dear Erica: I'm going to start and try a small business with this lovely freshies aroma bead. As you mentioned in one of your videos about the best aroma beads I want to know for example in the web page of butitshipit they have 3 kind of aroma beads. Which one in your experience is the best...I don't know what's the difference between each others. Shape of bead: Blood Cell Shape, Oval Shaped beads(small beds), New beads round but perform like blood cell. I really would like your advice. Also I would like to know about Texas Darling Boutique if you have any experience with their products. Thanks 🤗🌻🌹💌 PD I love your videos
On previous videos looks like you used mini cutters as cut outs in the freshies. The mini cutters I have found are way shorter than the main mold and I can only fill as far as the mini cutter allows. Ends up only being half. Any suggestions? What do you use?
These are really amazing and I would love to try and make them. I love al your videos and you are great at instructing how to do these. I do have a strange question for you though. I assume you use your oven in the kitchen to heat up the beads with scent and colorant. My only concern about these projects is cooking them in the same oven that you cook food in. Does it leave some sort of smell? Mixing food and fragrance...I'm just curious if it is a problem. I hope its not! :)
Hi I have a question. In a previous video when u made the round card stock silicone mold, you used hot glue gun to apply round card stock. This video u did not. Which way is better? Does the round card stock stick good like in this video. It seems like the paper card stock would burn? Thank u and looking forward to your reply. 😊
You can do whichever you prefer. I like to show different methods sometimes but I do like how clean the ones where I bake the cardstock with the freshie turn out and I haven't had any burn so far.
instead of doing the suction method with paint, try a medicine syringe...works wonders!
GENIUS!
Tutorial on how you do the 🐆 print please 🙏
Lovin these new ideas you're using on these freshies! Totally diggin the fringe ❤
Thanks!! I'm on a fringe-kick right now, I'm obsessed😍😆
I made my first freshie and the detail from the mold didnt show up good. Is there a trick to making sure the details show.
Yes, while the freshie is still hot, take a damp papertowel and press the beads down into the mold to really pickup those details. You can check out any of my newer freshie videos to see me do this.

What kind of paper do you use for the pictures?
How do you clean pain bottles?
How do you get it so smooth to paint on?

Thank you!! 🥰 yes I sell these and the freshie molds (if you make freshies) on my site- creativelyerica.com

Wow, these look amazing, great work.
? How long does the freshies last in the bags?

What is the recipe for the aroma beads? How much fragrance to how much beads? How do you color the beads?. What do you use?

Did you use puff paint or acrylic paint then glitter them?
Do you have any problems with the hot glue getting hot in the cars and the decoration falling off?
When will these be posted for sale?
Trying to finish getting these all posted today Emily 🥰
Hi love your videos 😊 where do you get your puffy paint please?
Is it better to color with the oil and beads together or after they have cured they color?
Great work 😊 you’re awesome
Thank you! 😊
super cute
Thank you!
I watch you all the time what are you doing with the paint brush
I was just brushing off the excess glitter that sticks to the freshie
I know nothing about freshies but I love your videos. I’m a crafter and I find your videos so interesting and fun to just watch. Ty 🙏🏽❤️😊
Aw thank you so much! 💓
My paint won’t stick to freshie. How do you do it?
I use matte acrylic paints (usually the cheap Apple Barrel brand) in those squeeze bottles I showed
@@CreativelyErica thank you, I will give it a shot ❤️
Do you only use acrylic matte paint on the freshies or do you use the puff paint also?
I use both, the ones that I coat with glitter are puffy paint and the others are acrylic
@@CreativelyErica thank you! You are so helpful!

Ok do u still bake them at 300 for like 13 mins with the card stock method?
And also they r stuck good and don’t come off easily correct ? 😊
Thank u for replying. 😁
