Whipping up these Christmas sprays is a breeze. Here's what you'll need:

  • 1 tablespoon Grain Alcohol (as a preservative)
  • Distilled Water
  • 2 oz Glass Spray Bottle


Creating Essential Oil Air Fresheners


Follow these simple steps:


Step 1: Pour grain alcohol into a glass spray bottle using a funnel.


Step 2: Choose one of the Christmas recipes listed below. Add the essential oils from the recipe into the bottle and swirl them with the grain alcohol.


Step 3: Fill the remainder of the bottle with distilled (or purified) water, leaving a little space for the sprayer. Attach the sprayer, shake well to mix, and label your spray.


Tips for Holiday Air Freshener Recipes

Holiday air fresheners bring the aromas into your home.

  • Allow your spray to "marinate" for about a day to let the scents mingle.
  • Shake the spray before each use, as water and oil do not mix well.
  • Opt for distilled or filtered water to maintain the purity of your spray blend.
  • If grain alcohol is unavailable, vodka or witch hazel can serve as alternatives.
  • Remember to keep homemade air freshener sprays out of reach of children and pets.
  • These oil blends can also be used in a diffuser, requiring fewer drops.
