Ready to get crafting? Let’s dive into these simple yet impressive DIY gift ideas!
1. Adorable Wool Dryer Ball Snowmen

What You’ll Need:
- Wool dryer balls
- Snowman hats (easily found at craft stores)
- Clear treat bags
- Clear elastic hair bands
- Festive ribbon and floral picks
- Sharpies
- Hot glue gun and glue sticks
- Small glass dropper bottles or 5ml bottles of essential oils (Purification, Citrus Fresh, and Christmas Spirit are great choices!)
Instructions:
- Place one wool dryer ball into a treat bag and secure the top with a clear elastic hair band.
- Add the second wool dryer ball and close the bag with another hair band.
- Attach a snowman hat to the top using hot glue, covering the elastic bands.
- Add a touch of holiday flair! Decorate the hat with ribbon, floral picks, or both!
- Tie a ribbon around the “neck” of the snowman, between the dryer balls.
- Draw a cute snowman face on the top dryer ball using Sharpies.
- Attach your business card and a sample of your favorite essential oil to the bag.
How To Use:
Encourage your gift recipient to ditch toxic dryer sheets and embrace the magic of wool dryer balls and essential oils! Add a few drops of their favorite essential oil to each ball and toss them in the dryer with wet laundry.
Robert Kline Art Tip: Since dryers with sensors stop automatically when clothes are dry, static cling is usually a non-issue. However, adding an extra drop or two of essential oil and “air drying” or “fluffing” before folding can enhance the delightful aroma.
