What You Need
Lemon and basil are beautiful, clean scents to fill your home. To begin making your room spray, start by boiling the tap water in a pot or kettle and pour it into a liquid measuring jug. Add the dried basil and let steep for a few minutes. Line your funnel with a coffee filter and place it in the opening of a reusable spray bottle. Carefully pour the basil and water mixture into the bottle through the filter to remove the herbs. Add distilled water, vodka, and lemon essential oil to the bottle. Attach the spray bottle top and shake to combine the mixture. Spray the odor eliminator around the room as needed.
What You Need
Pour the distilled water into a glass measuring jug, and add the essential oils (and alcohol. Stir until everything is well incorporated. Pour the mixture into your chosen jar (a funnel is helpful here if you have one) and insert the bamboo skewers.
Once you notice the sticks are well soaked, flip them around to soak the other end. Do this once a week, with a quick swirl to prevent settling, and if you notice the scent starting to fade, just add some more essential oil!

What You Need
Begin by cutting your fabric into 5 inch squares. Next cut the interfacing into 4 strips measuring 5 inches each. Lay a linen square face down on your ironing board and then lay a piece of interfacing on each edge of the square (four pieces total). Then, place a second square on top, sandwiching the bonding in between the two pieces and taking extra care to line up the edges. Iron 3 sides of the fabric to seal, leaving one side open to fill. Taking a handful of mixed flowers and herbs, place them inside the bag, and iron the final side.
These can be placed in drawers, wardrobes, under pillows, and even in the dryer on a low heat!
