These little spritzers work great for spraying your linens, towels, curtains, blankets, or the air. You can even help your fake Christmas tree smell real! They’ll give whatever you spray a fantastic holiday aroma that you can enjoy during this season.

Holiday Spritzers

Servings: Yield=2 oz. (60 ml) | Time: 5 minutes active; 15–30 minutes inactive | Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients & Supplies:

• 1/2 Tbsp. (7.5 ml) Vegetable Glycerin
• 5–10 drops essential oil (see blend suggestions below)
• 1/4 cup (60 ml) distilled water
• 2 oz. Spray Bottle (We liked the Red Plastic Spray Bottle and the Green Plastic Spray Bottle for holiday scents.)

Instructions:

1. Mix together the glycerin with your desired essential oil or blend in a glass bowl. Allow this mixture to sit for at least 15–30 minutes to let the oils dissolve into the glycerin. Note: if you are pressed for time, you can just mix it all together in the spray bottle, but you may need to shake every time before spraying to make sure the oils are sufficiently dispersed.
2. Transfer the mixture into your spray bottle.
3. Add distilled water to the oil mixture, screw the lid on the spray bottle, and shake to blend thoroughly.
4. Spray 1–3 times into the air or onto your sheets, towels, curtains, blankets, or Christmas tree.

Extra Idea:

These little sprays make a great make-and-take activity for an essential oil class. Just bring the above oils, vegetable glycerin, distilled water, and red or green plastic spray bottles to the class along with a 1/2 Tbsp. (7.5 ml) measuring spoon and funnel for easy pouring. Then allow each individual to choose a scent and make a spritzer to take home.
