Friends I think I’ve got one heck of a DIY winner for you today! This is one of the least expensive homemade recipes I have made with my essential oils so far, and I think it will be really well-received by gift recipients, too! I’m going to show you how to make an all natural linen spray for less than $2.50!

DIY linen spray Here’s what you’ll need to make this DIY linen spray:

  • 1 (two) ounce glass spray bottle (colored preferred to keep the oils away from light)
  • small funnel (optional, but it makes it a lot easier!)
  • 2 1/2 Tbsp distilled water
  • 1 1/2 tbsp witch hazel (FYI, it’s much cheaper at places like Walgreens)
  • 15 drops Young Living lavender essential oil

I opted for the 2 ounce size glass bottles because these are small enough that you can take them with you on airplanes, which I love. You could upgrade to the 4 ounce bottles, and in that case, you’ll need to double your recipe.

To make your linen spray, simply add your water and your witch hazel to your spray bottle with the funnel. Then remove the funnel and add your oils. You could opt for any number of essential oils in your linen spray, but I think lavender is an excellent choice because it is so soothing, which makes it perfect to inhale when you are laying down at the end of your day.

If you are crafty, you could certainly add a cute little printable on your bottle to note what it contains, and you could even include the recipe so that it could be recreated later. Currently, the spray bottles are .77 each (you have to buy a dozen, though), the 15 drops of lavender come to $1.41, and I am generously estimating the witch hazel and the distilled water to cost 15 cents total, bringing this project to just $2.33 per bottle!
I think this would make a very thoughtful gift for a teacher, a co-worker, or anyone in your life who could use a bit of relaxation. By using Young Living essential oils, you are gifting the highest quality product for maximum therapeutic benefits, too. Seed to seal, baby!
If you are new to essential oils and have questions about them, or if you’d be interested in picking up a bottle of Young Living lavender oil, I’d be happy to help you! I place orders once a month and I’m always happy to include folks in my order so that they can take advantage of the wholesale pricing I have.
