Home made home and beauty items:
1. Towel and sheet spray: Is your man stinky? Mine is but I still love him. Get a small spray bottle from the $1 store l(not a great big window cleaner one). Add a few drops of craft oil (bought with a coupon from Michaels). Fill with bottled water. Spray on sheets and pillows when making the bed. Your dreams will thank you. So will your bathroom.
You can make a fancy label from your computer.
You will have enough oil to make many bottles for gifts. Stock up on the spray bottles, my $1 store ran out. ALso check the beauty supply store.
Tip: to pour a few drops from these small oil bottles, insert a straw into the bottle, cover the open end of the straw with your finger, remove the straw (with the drops of oil inside the straw) and transfer to your spray bottle.
2. Clove coaster. Take coaster size squares of material scraps, mix and match colors and patterns. Sew or glue 3 sides. If you are a better sewer, do this on the wrong side and turn the square inside out to hide the seam. Place a tablespoon of whole clove seeds inside the square. These are gotten at the regular grocery store. Sew or glue the 4th side. There are many ideas to embellish, trim with lace, personalize with name, etc.
Everytime you set your coffee cup on the coaster a clove is crushed a little and the scent released. VERY nice. Make a set of 4 and bundle with a ribbon for a gift.
