Interesting Idea

[kmmcrafts]

Come across this on one of the laser forums. Not certain if it'd work with a scroll saw with cutting the slots in the back to make it bend to open it. I'm thinking about giving these a try with the laser and see first hand how it all works. I'm sure there is probably another way of making a removable backer. 

Anyway, I have several themed Christmas ornaments that would be good to convert to a air freshener... Not sure what they're using for the air freshener part? maybe a piece of thin foam? Thoughts?

I immediately thought of felt.

OMG, Someone help me, I'm starting to think like Scrappile
Then again, it may not be a bad thing

Hi Kevin:
Thanks for sharing  this
I can guarantee you that I would snap that backer piece when replacing the freshener
I'm thinking a series of small hole would work just as good, as you know, some of us do not have lasers and stuff
As some have said "felt" or a thin sponge soaked in a freshener. How about soaking a thin piece of hardwood in a freshener
charcoal filter?
Keep us posted if you follow up with this idea - I think it's a great idea

I screwed up

Looks intriguing.  Not something that I would use though.

I had downloaded a pattern, years ago, for a purse that used that style of cutting slots.  Never did make the purse.  The slots reminds me of Steve Good's pattern of "Floppy Guy".  

I would use a very thin foam for the essential oils to drip into.

Now you are thinking like Scrappile!

I think you are supposed to put a drop or two of scented oil on the felt backer.

I have seen them where you use scented oil on some felt. They had a clip on the back so they would clamp on the air vents in your car for air freshner.

AND, on a decoration for a fake Christmas tree, which we have, you could put pine scent on it and everyone would think you had a real tree!
