As far as supplies go, the only thing you’ll need (apart from the actual ingredients) is a small spray bottle that holds about 4 ounces.

How To Make A Lavender Linen Spray

2 Tbsp rubbing alcohol*
10 drops lavender essential oil

Directions:

1. Remove the spray top and pour the alcohol and lavender oil into the bottle.
2. Fill the remaining space in the bottle with distilled water (about 6 tablespoons), then replace the spray top.
3. Shake the bottle to mix the ingredients. Shake lightly before each use, as the ingredients tend to separate over time.
