Often when we think of using essential oils for the home, we think of the traditional diffuser. But there are so many ways to enjoy the fragrant beauty of an essential oil blend without using one. Just a few drops can help transform any space into a comforting sanctuary.
PEBBLE POTPOURRI:
Gather an assortment of small, smooth pebbles (porous rocks are the most effective at holding scent) and place them in a decorative bowl. Add a few drops of your favorite essential oil and let the stones naturally absorb the scent and distribute it throughout your space. Add a few more drops every few days to keep the scent strong and true.
FAUX FOLIAGE:
Arrange your favorite faux pieces in a vase and add a few drops of your favorite essential oils near the stems or inside of the buds of each piece. If you’re using light-colored pieces, conceal the drops near the base of leaves, stems or buds to avoid visual staining. Replenish the essential oil every few days as the scent naturally fades.
SACHET:
Combine a mix of your favorite herbs, dried flowers and plants, then add a few drops of your favorite essential oils and toss to coat. Put the mixture in a drawstring muslin bag and place in drawers, or hang discretely in a corner. To change the scent, empty and wash the bag. Start again with an herbal blend and essential oil of your choice.
