- 12 in Straw wreath
- Assorted Christmas picks from floral department
- velvet Bow and hanger
I used a straw wreath for the base of this wreath. And then filled in with lots of assorted Christmas floral picks I picked up from the Craft store. I like to fill into between the picks with extra tree greenery. Add a red velvet ribbon and hang.
Tip : when you trim your fresh tree save the extra pieces and add them to the wreath.

- label
INSTRUCTIONS
- Rinse bottle(s) well with distilled water.
- Add your essential oils. I designed this spray to be potent as I find I use less and the scent lingers longer. Feel free to scale down if you prefer a lighter spray.
- Add grain alcohol and distilled water. Add Everclear or grain alcohol of choice. Swirl for a few seconds to dissolve the oils, then top with distilled water. Shake well and adjust to your liking, adding more oils for a stronger scent, or more a bit more distilled water for a lighter scent.
- Affix the label. With a clean rag or towel, dry the bottle well and attach the label. For easiest placement, place the bottle on a flat, level surface like a table or countertop and align the label parallel to the water line.
