DIY Apple & Cinnamon Air Freshener

The quintessential flavors of apple and cinnamon aren’t just for your taste buds—they’re for your senses! As we’ve explored before, this dynamic duo is a powerhouse of health benefits, but their warm, comforting aromas are equally as magical. Many of the air fresheners on the market today are filled with synthetic chemicals that can be harsh on your home and your health. We believe in a better way.

At California Herban Life, our commitment to clean, natural ingredients extends beyond the kitchen. Today, we’re going to show you how to harness the pure, wholesome fragrance of fall to create a non-toxic, beautifully simple air freshener that will make your space smell amazing and feel inviting.

This project is a perfect way to bring a little bit of the season into your closets, drawers, car, or any small space that could use a fresh, natural boost. It’s a fun, quick craft that highlights our dedication to cleaner living.

What You’ll Need:

• Dried apple slices (thinly sliced and baked until dry)
• Cinnamon sticks
• Whole cloves
• California Herban Life’s all-natural, biodegradable sachet bags

Tip: To dry your own apple slices, preheat your oven to a low temperature (around 200°F or 95°C). Arrange thin apple slices on a baking sheet and bake for 2-3 hours, flipping them once, until they are completely dry and leathery.

Simple Instructions:

1. Gather Your Ingredients: Arrange your dried apple slices, cinnamon sticks, and whole cloves in a small bowl or on a plate. The great thing about this project is that you can customize the aroma. Want more spice? Add extra cloves or break a cinnamon stick.
2. Fill the Sachet Bag: Gently place a couple of dried apple slices, one or two cinnamon sticks, and a pinch of whole cloves into one of our California Herban Life biodegradable sachet bags.
3. Seal and Scent: Pull the drawstring on the sachet bag to seal it tightly.
4. Place and Enjoy: Hang your new air freshener in your closet, tuck it into a drawer, or place it under a car seat. The natural scents will slowly release, filling the air with a subtle, comforting aroma.
