    I have lots of projects that utilize the wonderful natural scent of essential oils. In addition to their aromatherapy qualities, they just smell great. Today I'm sharing some nice room spray recipes along with a basic recipe that you can use to create your own. They make great gifts for friends or family or a simple air freshener for your home.

    Supplies for room sprays including witch hazel, water, essential oils, and amber glass spray bottles.

    Supplies

    • 8 ounce glass or plastic bottles with a spray top (I prefer dark to help the oils last longer)
    • Essential Oils - All your favorites or favorite combinations
    • Witch hazel - This helps the oils mix well with water
    • Distilled water - just in case your tap water has any scent or unnecessary extras
    • Mini funnel or bendable plastic cup, essential oil droppers if needed.

    Making DIY Room Spray

    These amber glass bottles came with a spray top and this cute little funnel.

    However, if you don't have a little funnel you can use a plastic cup like the one above and pinch it to pour into your bottle.

    Using dark bottles helps keep the light out from your home or the sun. This will keep them from expiring too soon.

    I'm also using witch hazel to combine the oils with distilled water. Some people don't like the smell of witch hazel. You can substitute grain alcohol or a high-quality vodka. However, I think that these alcohols have their own scent so it's a matter of preference.

    Distilled water is preferred over tap water because some people have added chemicals or sulfur which may contaminate or change the way the spray smells or works.

    Essential Oil Room Spray Recipes

    Here are a few general essential oil combinations that I like. Feel free to make your own blend. Note that some essential oils are very strong while others are not strong at all. When creating your own, start with a few drops and continue to add as much as you like until you get the scent you want.

    Warm and Cozy Room Spray

    to an 8 ounce bottle add:

    • Sweet Orange Essential oil - 30 drops
    • Cinnamon Essential Oil - 10 drops
    • Clove Essential Oil - 5 drops
    • 1/8 cup Witch Hazel
    • Distilled water

    Relax & Unwind Room Spray

    to an 8 oz bottle add:

    • Lavender Essential oil - 20 drops
    • Bergamot Essential Oil - 15 drops
    • Geranium Essential Oil - 5 drops
    • 1/8 cup Witch Hazel
    • Distilled water

    Refresh & Uplift Room Spray

    to an 8 ounce bottle add:

    • Lemon Essential oil - 30 drops
    • Grapefruit Essential Oil - 15 drops
    • Rosemary Essential Oil - 5 drops
    • 1/8 cup Witch Hazel
    • Distilled water

    If you like my labels you can click on one and it will take you to a pdf filled with labels that you can print. I used this brown kraft paper and Mod Podge to create and glue my labels to the bottles but regular printer paper and white glue will work just fine.

    If you already have some essential oils in your craft stash then this is a no-brainer. Using your favorite scent, combo, or blend to make a room spray is perfect for refreshing any room and lifting your mood.

    Equipment

    • Essential oil dropper if needed
    • Plastic cup or funnel
    • Measuring cups or tablespoon measuring spoon

    Materials

    • 8 ounce dark glass bottles with a spray top
    • 1/3 cup distilled water
    • 1/8 cup or 2 tablespoons of Witch Hazel
    • 50 drops of essential oils or an essential oil blend

    Instructions

    • Place 50 drops or combinations of essential oil drops in the bottom of an 8 ounce dark glass spray bottle.
    • Add 1/8 cup of witch hazel.
    • Add distilled water to the top approximately 1/3 cup.
    • Screw on the sprayer top.
    • Shake and spray wherever you like.

    Notes

    50 drops of essential oil is a rule of thumb. Some essential oils are very strong so you may not need as much. Conversely, some are not very strong and you may want more. You can experiment by starting with less, then add more until you reach your desired scent.
    They make great gifts or a simple air freshener for your home.
