A few weeks ago, I was at the dollar store and saw some Christmas air
fresheners. They were cheap, but not very cute. I figured I could change
that. So, here she is...my air freshener angel.
.I started out with this air freshener.
I removed the plastic wrap and glued a fabric strip (about 9" x 1.5") around the bottom.
I cut out a circle about 12" in diameter and glued it to the top. Then, I glued a flesh colored ball on top of the fabric.
For the wings, I wrapped some wire around a paint bottle about eight times and then wrapped the ends around the loops to hold them together.
I threaded a piece of ribbon around the middle of wings and tied it around the neck.
I didn't have yarn or doll hair, so I had to get a little creative. I found a silk flower, cut it apart, trimmed some of the petals, and glued it on. For the top layer, I folded and glued on a small flower and then glued the halo below it (the halo is made out of the same wire as the wings).
I used another small folder flower to cover part of the halo.
I painted two eyes and added a little pink for the cheeks and this angel was done!
Sweet.
Easy.
Cute.
Scent-sensational!

That is too cute to be an air freshener! How very creative of you.
Aww. I love this little angel and what you used to give him his pretty hair. I would love if you posted to http://eyehearttoday.blogspot.com/2011/12/last-weeks-linky-party-was-success-and.html
great idea! i wonder how easy it would be to make a few modifications to your pattern so that the angel could be removed & used on a new air freshner when the old one gets used up? perhaps by glueing things to a piece of cardboard or plastic that sits on top of the air freshner instead of the air freshner itself?!
Love it!! I posted a link to this on my blog: http://www.thecraftbarn-ny.blogspot.com/2011/12/crafty-friday-12911.html
