Crafting Christmas Cheer
Let’s Get Crafting Christmas!
As the festive season approaches, why not infuse your home with the enchanting scents of Christmas? In this DIY guide, we’ll explore creative and aromatic ways to craft Christmas cheer through homemade decorations using the magic of aromatherapy. Get ready to transform your space into a winter wonderland of delightful fragrances.
1. Aromatherapy Infused Ornaments:
Start by creating personalised aromatherapy-infused ornaments for your Christmas tree. Mix a few drops of your favourite essential oils—think soothing Lavender, uplifting Peppermint, or spicy Cinnamon—with unscented clay. Shape the clay into festive designs, bake, and voila! Your tree will not only look beautiful but also carry the comforting scents of the season.
2. Scented Pine Cone Garland:
Gather pine cones, and turn them into a scented garland. Before assembling, generously apply essential oils like Cedarwood Atlas, Fir Silver, or Pine to each pine cone. Allow them to dry thoroughly before threading onto twine. Hang this aromatic garland across your mantle or along a banister to fill your home with the earthy essence of a winter forest.
3. DIY Potpourri Pouches:
Craft your own potpourri pouches using dried citrus peels, cinnamon sticks, cloves, and star anise. Add a few drops of a seasonal essential oil blend, such as Orange and Clove, or use our ready made Christmas Mood Enhancer Blend to enhance the fragrance. Tie these sachets with festive ribbons and place them in key areas of your home for a continuous burst of holiday aroma.
4. Aromatic Wax Melts:
Make your own scented wax melts for a cosy and inviting atmosphere. Combine soy wax with your preferred essential oils—try combinations like Frankincense and Ylang Ylang or Orange and cinnamon. Pour the melted mixture into festive molds, allow them to set, and enjoy the warm, comforting scent as they melt in your wax warmer.
5. Personalised Scented Candles:
Elevate your holiday ambience with handmade scented candles. Choose candle wax, wicks, and containers of your liking. Add a touch of elegance by blending essential oils like Juniper Berry, Bergamot, and Cedarwood Atlas into the melted wax. Pour the scented wax into your containers, let them cool, and illuminate your space with the flickering glow of personalised holiday scents. These are also great for handmade gifts.
