Car Air Freshener Craft - ©2004, Carolyn Warvel - Here is a gift that just about all dads can use.  These patterns can be adapted to look like the child's father or the child that is giving the gift to dad.  On the father air freshener you can put a little note on it that says, "World's Best Dad" and on the child's you can put something like, "I love you, Dad." Makes a great Father's Day gift.

What you will need: Fun foam to match skin tone. Fake hair to match the child's or father's hair.  Felt to make clothes. Yarn or string to hang the freshener, glue, wiggly eyes, permanent markers, eyelet lace and ribbon, air freshener oil (found where you buy car air fresheners)

What to do:

1. Print out the patterns for the father and daughter, son.
2. Cut two of each pattern to make one freshener.  There will be a face on the back and the front of each freshener so that it looks good from all directions.
3. To make the daughters face cut 18 pieces of yarn 9 inches long.  Loosely tie 9 pieces of yarn together in the middle for one face and do it again for the face on the back of the freshener. Glue the hair on in the middle of the heads.  Glue the arms and feet onto the dress and then glue the body onto the head to complete one side of the doll. Glue the other dress and the other head to back of the completed side so that the freshener can be viewed from any angle. Tie the yarn for the hair together on each side of the head to make pony tails. Braid the pony tails and tie ribbons onto the end.  Finish by gluing on eyes and drawing a mouth and nose.  Add eyelet lace to the bottom of the dress.  Put some air freshener oil on the felt to make the freshener smell good.
4. To make the father follow the same directions as for the daughter except for the hair. Add hair to make it look like your father or husband.
5. To make the son, use the same hands, face, and feet pattern as the daughter, but use the son clothes.
