Crafts: How to Make BathroomFragrance Gifts

That Special Personal Gift

Anyone can make these for a special gift for a friend or family member if you are feeling creative. If you are looking
for a unique gift, then why not make one of these wonderful fragrance gifts? My daughter made this bear for her
Nanna several years ago, and it still looks great today.

One of these will keep your toilet or bathroom smelling beautiful, and the base is replaceable with a new or
different fragrance when required.
You can have fun choosing different ways of decorating and creating your particular one. This will require cutting
up or dismantling these toys to make your air freshener. Always use new toys if giving as a gift. Buy them when on
special or at the end of season sales to save money.

Cut the head, arms, and feet off the soft toy. Stitch each piece so stuffing stays intact.
Cut a piece of material about 16cm x 60cm or the length required. This is adjustable.
Hem both long edges of the material
Stitch a piece of lace across the bottom hem as trim
Turn on the wrong side and stitch both short sides together to form the back seam.
Tack around the top and gather up to fit the edge of the air freshener, forming a neckline.
Glue in position on fragrance holder, around the top edge (not on top). This should now look like a dress.
Leave this to dry before continuing to the next step. Set the head of the toy on top and glue it in place.
Position the arms. Either glue or sew in place on the material.

Things you need
Add your own creative ideas to this list

• Soft animal toy or doll
• Air Freshener with replaceable base
• Small amount of material
• Lace or similar decoration
• Craft glue or glue gun
• Scissors
• Flowers, sequins, lace or other types of decorations
• Needle and thread

When buying air fresheners, make sure they are all the same size. If different, the base will not fit inside the old one.
Choose bright coloured materials to suit the event or decor. If making for a friend, select colours that match their
bathroom decor.

• Extra Information
• NOTE: I have used a doll to show different model for ideas. In the above picture, it shows the dolls arms still
• attached. If using a soft toy, the top of dress will be snug underneath the head of animal.
• Glue or sew feet under the bottom of skirt so they protrude. I did not use the dolls legs for this one.
• You can either stitch or glue lace trimming around neck, add jewellery, earrings, bow or add a hat. The decorations
• will depend on the effect you wish to create.
• Sit Back and Admire your Handiwork
• When you have made one of these, you can make more to sell on eBay and earn extra money for Christmas
• orBirthdays
• I love this dolls beautiful eyes. As you can see in the images, you can dismantle and decorate dolls in the same or
• similar way as the bear above. I used lace for shoulder straps and added lace trim around top of dress.
• Whatever toys you create these fragrances with, you need to choose the best way to attach all parts and
• decorations to make them secure.

You can make these gifts to suit any occasion. Alternatively, create them, using ideas from your own imagination.

Above all, have fun making these beautiful fragrances.
