Homemade Gel Air Fresheners

Homemade Gel Air Fresheners are a great inexpensive gift to give during the holidays.  I like to make them for the people that work with my husband and myself (we have a lot of people where we work).  I can make about 5 or 6 for less than $2.00.

Instructions:
1. Combine 1 1/2 cups of liquid potpourri and 2 tbsp. of salt in a saucepan over medium-low heat. 

2. Bring the potpourri and salt to a simmer.  Stir the ingredients slowly to dissolve the salt.

3. Add four packets of unflavored gelatin.  Stir the gelatin with the potpourri and stir to mix it well.

4. Remove the saucepan from the stove top.  Add 1/2 cup of liquid potpourri and stir to mix it well.

5. Pour the gel into a heat-safe glass jar ( I use baby food jars).  Allow the jar to cool completely before placing it in a room.

Tip:  Add food coloring before the gel cools to create a different colored air freshener.  Wrap the jars with wrapping paper or lace or any scrap of material and tie with a ribbon or rafia.
