Supplies You’ll Need Per Spray:
DIY Room Spray Instructions
Place a frosted glass 3.4-ounce spray bottle on a digital scale. Stick a mini funnel inside the bottle and tare the weight.
Pour 2.5 ounces of your room spray base into the bottle through the funnel. I used this organic witch hazel base.
Add a total of 25 ml of essential oils. I chose the Welcome Home recipe, adding 5 ml of lemon, 10 ml of cinnamon, 5 ml of clove, and 5 ml of vanilla essential oil to a glass beaker. Then funnel the scent blend into the bottle.
Remove the funnel and return the bamboo nozzle, secure, and shake to combine.
Shake before use and spritz into the air to refresh any room. 1-2 sprays should be sufficient.
Let’s Add A Room Spray Label
I’ve tested countless label papers to find the best. This 2 x 3 inch printable label paper from Avery is it! Each has a print to the edge, smooth glossy finish, that’s easy to apply to the frosted glass spray bottles.
