4)  Cinnamon-Scented Pinecones

If you have collected pinecones from your yard or nature, then first start with baking the bugs out of your pinecones.  Bake in 200 degree oven for 1 hour and then let completely cool

If you bought your pinecones at a store or are reusing ones from your collection of decorations, then you can skip the baking step.

Place your pinecones in a large glass or stainless steel bowl.  Sprinkle  pinecones with 15-20 drops of cinnamon essential oil (or Christmas blend of your choice).  Toss them to coat.  Cover bowl tightly.  Every couple of days shake pinecones to distribute essential oil and scent.  After a few weeks the pinecones are ready to use.

5)  Christmas-Scented Room Sprays

I love making these Christmas room sprays!  It’s an all-natural (chemical and toxin-free) way to bring all the wonderful smells of Christmas into my home.

So easy to make and saves money over those commercial sprays.
These room sprays are, of course, great to use in your own home, but they also make FABULOUS GIFTS for teachers, friends, hairdressers, moms, neighbors, sisters, …  makes a unique hostess gift, thank you gift, gift exchange item, teacher gift, ….  They’re cute, functional, non-toxic, and smell AMAZING!!

Have you tried making a gel air freshener? These are incredibly simple to make. It’s just polymer absorbent crystals (like these), water, and essential oils. Couldn’t be easier.

Here’s the recipe: 1 tsp water-storing crystal (like this), 1 cup hot water, and 20 drops essential oil. Stir together until well mixed. Keep gel freshener in glass jar without a lid (so that the gel/oil mixture can easily scent the air).

  1. Thank you Sarah, you have taught me so much in using essential oils. Thank you also for your compassion in helping others without trying to profit from them. May God richly bless you in your labor of love.

    • Thanks for your very kind note, Jackie! I do love learning about, using, and helping others use essential oils. It’s all a lot of fun!
      But want to be honest with you that I do make money from doing this. I try to do it honestly and ethically, but I do make money from ads on my blog, as well as commissions from some of the products that I share (such as, ones bought on Amazon).
      I would still do this even if I didn’t make a profit, I hope that’s what you’re picking up on – my love for doing this that’s much more than just doing something for money. It’s much bigger than that for me.
