    • DIY Essential Oil Christmas Room Spray

    I can't quit the room sprays! My friend walked into my house the other day and told me it smelled like a spa. And I felt like I had won at life. I loved that she felt welcomed into my home with a relaxing scent.

    But now for the holidays, I'm all about making my home feel more Christmas-y.

    Why This Project Works

    This make-your-own homemade room spray is easy to make and will make your friends and family feel like Santa could pop into the room at any minute. 

    I don't complain about my California winters. I love the warmer weather and our total lack of snow. But, if you aren't careful your Christmas tree can dry out and die (making it highly flammable) before Christmas.

    And since I already have night anxiety (self-diagnosed), I don't need another disaster to worry about in the middle of the night. Until we get our tree up and can smell the gorgeous fresh pine scent, I like to use a room spray to make the house smell more festive.

    Room sprays are super easy to make. You probably already have essential oils at home that you can use.

    I bought these larger bottles last year when I hosted a holiday wine and essential oils party. But I still have a bunch leftover. You can follow my recipe or make your own with your preferred smells.

    The process is the same and once you know how to do it, you can make this DIY essential oil room sprays all year long.

    Supplies

    Scroll down to the end of the post for a printable instruction card with full measurements.

    • Witch Hazel
    • Orange
    • Siberian Fir
    • Juniper Berry (I LOVE juniper! It's such a fresh, herbal smell.)
    • Cinnamon or Cassia (Cinnamon bark has that real deep cinnamon scent but can be very expensive. Cassia is a great substitute).
    • Clove
    • Peppermint
    • Blue Glass Spray Bottle (this one has a mist top sprayer instead of the kind that I used. I've had mine for years)
    • Paper cutter or scissors, double stick tape, etc. to use the printable labels.

    While this is the blend of holiday essential oils I enjoy, feel free to change it up to your liking!

    How to Make an Essential Oil Room Spray for the Holidays

    Add about an ounce of Witch Hazel to your glass bottle. If you don't have Witch Hazel, you can use vodka. (You KNOW I have vodka around since I can't quit making vodka recipes).

    This helps to suspend the essential oils in the holiday spray. Since oil and water don't mix, this part is essential (pun intended).

    I bought this bottle of Witch Hazel for my Good Vibes room spray and I have so much leftover!

    And, if I need to, I can tone my face with it. Hey-yo!

    Add about 3 ounces of water to the bottle. Put the lid on again and shake well.

    I decided that my homemade room spray needed a name. So I asked my family, which consists of my husband and two sons.

    I said I wanted it to have the word "elf" in it. You would not believe how many names, that were versions of "Elf Farts," they came up with. It was rather impressive.

    But I decided to go with Eau de Elf instead. Because, class.

    There are a few designs of the Holiday Homemade Room Spray Labels to choose from. I love plaid in the winter so I thought it would make for a cute label.

    Keep in mind you will need to shake your essential oil Christmas room spray well each time you use it since the oils will separate.

    This essential oil Christmas room spray has a hint of pine, a bit of citrus, a touch of cinnamon, and is exactly what I think elves smell like...

    Tips and Tricks

    • Since I make so many room sprays, I don't worry about making an heirloom quality label.
    • I used double-stick tape so I can reuse the bottles easily.
    • If you are giving these as a gift and want to do something a little more permanent you totally can. These are waterproof labels that you can use, but I did not format the design to these so you'll have to play around with it.

    A quick spritz of your homemade room spray before having guests over will make them think that you are ready for Christmas when, in fact, you are probably way behind on your present buying and you haven't started wrapping anything yet. What they don't know won't hurt them!
