Upcycled DIY Bag Deodorizer
Working with kids? This DIY is decent for school aged, tweens, and yes teens.
You will need:
- One sock (Find one from the single socks in the bottom of your laundry basket. You know the ones – the ones’ whose partners went missing long ago. This project gives those lonely socks a new life).
- One elastic (save the ones from your newspaper or broccoli)
- 1/2 cup baking soda
- permanent marker
- spoon
Directions:
- Locate clean sock for this project.
- Fill sock with 1/2 cup baking soda.
- Tie elastic around the top of the sock. If you don’t have an elastic — you can tie a knot it in as an alternative.
- Using permanent marker, draw a face, sunglasses, mustache, whatever you like to jazz up your Upcycled DIY bag deodorizer.
- Done.
Less than 5 minutes right?! OK depending on how deep you went into the face drawing I guess. This Upcycled DIY bag deodorizer eliminates odours on the cheap & easy. You can make a bunch and put them all over.
THINK:
- gym bags
- inside shoes themselves — because oh my gosh sometimes the shoes 😮
- shoe bins
- closets
- sports equipment
I have had our little sock dude in my hallway for months and it has done the job deodorizing fine and dandy. I recommend this DIY all the way!

This is a fantastic idea. All of that stuff needs air fresheners & it’s fun for the kids to decorate it. Thanks for sharing at Merry Monday. Hope to see you at the party next week!
Love the mustache and sun glass you added to the sock 😀 It makes it looks like a he’s ready for any kinds of odors. We sometimes forget how amazing baking soda actually is. Love this idea
Baking soda is such a useful item. I use it in crafts and baking too.
