What’s in This Scented Ornament Recipe?
Mitten Felt Diffuser
Felt diffusers are an ingenious way to infuse your home with delightful aromas while adding a touch of festive charm. Felt, a versatile and porous fabric, is a natural diffuser for essential oils, allowing you to create a toxin-free and eco-friendly fragrance experience. The unique properties of felt make it an excellent material for this project – it absorbs oils effectively. It slowly releases the scent, ensuring a long-lasting and consistent aroma. Crafting felt diffusers also promotes sustainability, as these ornaments can be reused year after year.
Pine Essential Oil
Immerse yourself in the fresh, woody aroma of Pine Essential Oil. This invigorating scent not only fills your space with tranquility but also acts as a natural deodorizer, eliminating odors and creating an atmosphere of purity. Just a few drops will transport you to a serene forest with every breath.
Things to Remember When Using This Recipe:

If the oil has oxidized (been left with the cap off for long periods of time), it is more likely to cause skin irritation. Check out this dilution chart for diluting this essential oil properly.
