What is an Air Freshener Doll?

Since many people like to make sure every element of their space is involved in the decorating theme that has been chosen, the creation of air freshener dolls should not come as a surprise. Basically, the air freshener doll is a half doll that features the upper half of the body. The bottom half of the air freshener doll fits over the cone of the solid air fresheners that many people use around the home. The purpose of the dolls is to hide the air freshener container by turning it into a decorating element of the room.

An air freshener doll can be created using the basic half doll form found in most craft stores. Most of the doll forms have rather cherubic faces, although some craft stores may provide types that feature different expressions or more adult looking faces. This means that it is possible to customize an air freshener doll to fit just about any mood, décor, or interest.

There are many different designs that may be chosen for the air freshener doll. It is possible to create a cowboy or football player air freshener doll, as well as a fairy princess or female rock star. In order to get into the swing of a holiday, it is possible to create a Santa air freshener doll, follow up with an Easter bunny air freshener doll, and even move along into the fall with witches, vampires, and Pilgrims. The only limit to the type of air freshener doll that can be created is the imagination of the home owner.

Of course, there are also a number of retail outlets that carry prefabricated versions of the air freshener doll. Most of these mass produced models will cover the major holidays, as well as some special interests. Both local retail stores as well as online stores carry air freshener dolls, sometimes for only a little more than it would cost to purchase the materials and dress the doll yourself. For people who like to make things, creating an air freshener doll can be a fun activity. For others who lack the time or the talent, there are the mass produced types that will fit into most situations. In either case, the air freshener doll can be a way of turning an ugly solid air freshener container into a whimsical part of the décor.
