Instead of trimming my air freshies, I wait a few minutes after removing them from the oven then I take a small to medium sponge dabber and use the wood handle to gently pat down all those spikes I also gently use the sponge part… dabbing down to get those spikes or uneven pieces. Also! I tested using my heat gun… just reheat the top of your spiky freshies and use the sponge dabber to move those spikes down! No need for cutting with scissors!🥰
I am new to making freshies. I have watched all your videos and I’m obsessed!!! You are so thorough and explain things perfectly. Thanks and keep the info coming.
@@CreativelyErica how do you sell your freshies and get your name out there ? Could you do a tutorial/video of how you got started selling yours ? That would be fabulous!
Love these! I'm all about the glitter with tumblers and iron on vinyl. Can't wait to try this with my freshies too! I do have one question: How do you clean your silicone molds so there is no leftover glitter or mica power for the next use? I bought the same circle silicone molds you have from one of your previous videos. :) Thank you for making these videos for all of us to see.
Same! If it's just a little glitter, you can stick some tape to it to pull it out. If there's mica on mine, I'll just wash the mold with warm soapy water or some rubbing alcohol works too. Thanks so much for watching & the support 🥰
When you bring it out of the oven , use a spatula around the edges as close as you can get , go all the way around the shape of the mold and lightly press down . It'll push those ridges down and you won't have to trim with scissors it makes it level
SO cute! I love the tip of using puffy paint for the glitter. And the holographic fine on the bottom of the smiley face is stunning! I always mixed mine into the beads but now I need to try it this way! 😊
Love these!!! I have a question also, how do you keep the puffy paint from sticking to the inside of the packaging and then peeling off the freshie? I had several painted so cute and I packaged them but when removing them from the packaging, the paint stuck and peeled right off.
Thank you! I just make sure it's really dry and cured before putting in the bags. That's all you can really do. I have noticed the thicker you paint it, the easier it is to mess up. So thin layers if possible would be my biggest tip. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful!
I’ve noticed on the silicone molds that have raised images or words, if I put any puffy paint at all on those, it’s a goner as soon as someone pulls it from the bag. So I’ve ordered a ton of molds that the images and words are set inside as oppose to protruding.. if that makes any sense lol. I figured if the paint can’t touch the plastic then it can’t peel off. By the way, I just want to say thanks for all you do! You are a wealth of knowledge and I appreciate it so much!
Hey, Erica!!!! I gots a question!! I need help with the sublimation air fresheners.. How do I know how much fragrance oil to use and do I need a carrier for the fragrance oil?
Hey 👋 I've had a hard time with those to be honest. I've heard so many different things. I've tried pouring 1 tsp on the fresheners and sometimes they'd leave oily spots on the design and they felt really oily. I've also tried pouring the fragrance oil into a small spray bottle and spritzing the fresheners several times but I always felt like they were weak and didn't really absorb the oil that well. But never used a carrier with all the different ways I've tried. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful, couldn't get a hang of those so gave up on those lol.
Hey, great vid. Love the happy face freshie. I tried one out with glitter and for some reason the glitter didnt stick to the freshie on the inside of the mold... and what did stick looks choppy.. did i add too much glitter maybe? Are you suppose to just put a dusting in the mold or.... The top however with my chunkier glitter came out perfect. What am i doing wrong? 😕
Thanks! Hmmm that's weird, might be too much (I do a small amount and kinda shake around to evenly distribute it) or maybe the type of glitter. I have noticed the glitter does better on the silicone molds that are glossy on the inside.
These are great! The extra fine glitter works great inside the silicone molds, and I like the puffy paint as a base for the glitter on your cactus. Decorating is the most fun part of making freshies.😊💜
Do you have a suggestion on what brand aroma beads to use? I’ve tried 3 different ones and they all melt in my car (deform) !! I live in ga and the heat is pretty bad!! I’ve even bought a sunshade and it doesn’t help . So that makes me think it has to be the beads!! Let me know what you think!!! I TRUST your opinion as you have been my motivation to start my own business !!
Hi Erica, I enjoyed your video, thank you for posting!! 3 questions 1. Is there anyway to get both sides of the freshie smooth? -like adding parchment paper to the top maybe? 2. I know the trend is Large freshies. Is a smaller size still effective? I want to make some for my family and I to use, but we are all in agreement the normal ones are bigger than we are comfy with. Im wondering if they are that large out of necessity, or if the size is for aesthetic appeal. 3. Can decorative elements be glued to freshies, or does the oil in the beads impede the decorations sticking to the beads?
Hi!! First of thank you so very much for your videos. They are so helpful. My question is how long can I store beads in the jar after the aroma has been added in? Thanks again!!
Love your videos!!! I’m new to Freshies and am just waiting for my supplies to get here! Where did you get the round mold you used. Also does leaving them to dry overnight for the puffy paint affect the scent strength? Oh and do you use puffy paint or fabric paint? I’ve seen both at the craft stores. Thanks so much and keep the great videos coming!
Have you ever had glitter burn? And have you ever added glitter towards the end of the baking process and used a spoon to press it in when it comes out of the oven?
A little might fall off (that's why I tap on them to make the loose glitter fall off after demolding them) but for the most part it's baked in the beads and sticks.

Hi!! Does the freshie lose scent when drying the puffy paint over night?
When you bring it out of the oven , use a spatula around the edges as close as you can get , go all the way around the shape of the mold and lightly press down . It'll push those ridges down and you won't have to trim with scissors it makes it level
Love the cactus!!!
Thanks! That's definitely my fav 😍
Can i use plastic jars for curing my beads or do they have to be glass
SO cute! I love the tip of using puffy paint for the glitter. And the holographic fine on the bottom of the smiley face is stunning! I always mixed mine into the beads but now I need to try it this way! 😊
Thanks! I can never get enough of that holographic on the bottom 😍 definitely need to try!
Oh my goodness these are soooo cute!!! Thank you for sharing!
Im new to making freshies how long do you let the beads cure for the best smell?

@@mistytodd935 That totally makes sense & sounds like a good idea! Thanks so much for watching & all the support! Love helping y'all! ❤️
Why does my glitter fall off after baking?
How long does the fragrance last in bag

What is the size of your round mold?

We're do u get beads n shells
If you don’t mind me asking. Where do you get that holographic glitter you used on round freshie
I got it at michaels but I linked another one I've used in the video description 🥰
These are great! The extra fine glitter works great inside the silicone molds, and I like the puffy paint as a base for the glitter on your cactus. Decorating is the most fun part of making freshies.😊💜
Thanks!! I totally agree, love decorating them!
Beautiful Erica. I’m going to try theses. What do I do w my beads if not drying. Just a few sticks to jar n just will not release??
can you show us how to make a geode freshie? i’ve seen those everywhere but i have no clue how to even get started
A geode freshie!? I haven't seen those! I'll definitely look into them and will add that to my to-film list! Thanks for the request!
Pink cow is so cute
Right!? So much sparkleeee
I love what you do where do you order from I missed that when watching
Thank you! All the supplies are linked in the video description 🥰
Just bought all my supplies to make Car Freshies (first time making these), your video seems like it’s a terrific help! Thanks a bunch ❤

What do you charge for the cowherd and Rip
Cows range from $8-$10 depending on decorations/colors. Rip is $9
Love these! Can't wait to make my own car fresheners!
They're so much fun! (Shameless plug- I'm launching car freshie starter kits 6/24!)
Have you ever had glitter burn? And have you ever added glitter towards the end of the baking process and used a spoon to press it in when it comes out of the oven?
Do you seal the glitter? I use fine glitter and it does come off how can I minimize fallout?
My beads not hard. Hmmm...I need to figure out what I need to do. When they hit the baking sheet they don't make that sound.
Is it safe to bake these in the oven where you put food?
🤷♀️ I think so
Hi Erica! Love these! 😊 Can you share a link to the silicone molds that you use?
To 4 oz of beads how much scents mine say 10ml do you use all of that
What bags / size do you use to package freshies ?
You are teaching so much thank you
Does your beads right out of the bag?
So you have problems with loose glitter aiming off on the ones that you baked the glitter with the beads?
A little might fall off (that's why I tap on them to make the loose glitter fall off after demolding them) but for the most part it's baked in the beads and sticks.
love this tutorial. do you use your regular oven or do you have another over for baking these
Thanks for watching! I use my regular oven 😃
Can you use plastic cookie cutters why or why not?
Because plastic melts in oven
