Room Spray Tutorial

Do you like room sprays?  Aromatherapy is a wonderful thing.  By using essential oils you can relax your body, wake up your mind and much more.  Making a room spray is very simple and easy to personalize. You only need 3 items.

A quick word on essential oils.  You can find these on many sites online, and also in the craft store most often located in the candle/soap making section.  I chose to buy mine from amazon.com and purchased oils that are premixed for the needs I am looking for.  Following is a small list explaining some of the easily obtained oils. 

Calming effect - Lavender and Rosemary
Wake up the mind - Citrus oils and Peppermint
Aphrodisiac - Ylang Ylang and Sandalwood


Tutorial for room spray

Fill spray bottle with ~2 ounces of water.  Add oil to the water until the spray reaches your desired strength, approximately 4 to 8 drops.  Shake bottle gently before each use.

  1. Cool idea Connie! I have some essential oils I use for scenting polymer clay. This would be a nice way to use them as well. Thanks!
