{DIY} Lavender Linen Spray


Studies have shown that the aroma of lavender is a prime resource for relaxation and stress relief. Even the Romans had a thing for using lavender to scent clothing. (There’s a fascinating history of lavender here.) After a stressful day at the office a few drops of lavender in a tub or shower can be the ultimate stress relief! Having trouble sleeping? A few spritz of lavender linen spray will give you the ultimate sense of relaxation for a great nights sleep!  Fancy linen spray can be pricey, but if you’re looking for a way to fall asleep at night or just infuse your linen closet with a bit of spring, this super simple project is for you! 


By simply mixing lavender essential oil with water and witch hazel, you have created the perfect linen spray! And while I’ve recommended distilled water below, you’d be okay to use regular water. (The distilled water, theoretically, will keep your mixture from looking cloudy and keep the sprayer from getting clogged.)

Materials
  • 8–10 drops lavender essential oil
  • 2 tsp witch hazel
  • 1 cup distilled water (not pictured)
  • small spray bottle

Directions
Simply mix everything together. Pour into a small spray bottle. Spritz away!
Label Materials

To make labels that look like ours, simply cut a rectangle out of the contact paper and then cut the corners off.
