Welcome back to Robert Kline Art, where we explore the world of handcrafted beauty and find joy in the simple things! Today, I’m thrilled to share one of my favorite DIY projects – a calming and aromatic homemade lavender linen spray.
Inspired by a thoughtful gift from my dear friend Jennifer Fisher, I discovered the magic of a few spritzes of lavender on my pillows. The result? A peaceful night’s sleep filled with sweet dreams. I’m excited to guide you through the simple steps to creating your own luxurious linen spray, perfect for enhancing your sleep sanctuary or delighting your guests.
Gathering Your Supplies
Before we begin, let’s gather the few essential ingredients needed for our aromatic creation.
You will need:
- 2 cups distilled water
- 2 tablespoons vodka or rubbing alcohol (this helps to blend the oil and preserve the scent)
- 15-20 drops of pure lavender essential oil (choose a high-quality oil for the best results)
- Dried lavender buds (optional, for a beautiful visual touch)
- A glass or plastic spray bottle (choose an amber or blue bottle to protect the essential oil from light degradation)

Crafting Your Lavender Linen Spray
Now that you have your supplies ready, let’s dive into the easy-peasy process of making your own lavender linen spray:
- Combine the ingredients: Carefully pour the distilled water, vodka (or rubbing alcohol), and lavender essential oil into your spray bottle.
- Shake it up: Secure the spray top tightly and give the bottle a good shake to ensure all the ingredients are well combined.
- Infuse with beauty (optional): If you’d like to add a touch of visual elegance, drop a handful of dried lavender buds into the bottle. This will infuse the spray with an even more potent lavender aroma.
That’s it! Your homemade lavender linen spray is now ready to work its magic.
