Lavender water is one of the easiest little DIY projects you can make!
I love a touch of lavender around the home, don’t you? I’ve always made lavender sachets {you can find my tutorial here}, but this was my first time making lavender water. I can’t believe I haven’t tried this yet because it takes just a few minutes and the final product is AMAZING!
Add a couple drops to your pillow or spray a bit on clothing before you iron. This is the perfect scent for linens because lavender is known to help you sleep. There are a million ways to use lavender water!
These would make fabulous gifts for holidays and birthdays. Don’t you love the sweet little bottles I used??
Here’s how you can make some for yourself…
Yes, you will need Vodka. I felt a little strange going into a liquor store buying small bottles of Vodka, but ya gotta do what you gotta do…ha! I used 1/4 cup of Vodka.
I used 1 teaspoon of Lavender Essential Oil. I sell this oil now and I’m in love with the Lavender…I even add a bit to my wrists and rub them together. The benefits of essential oils are crazy awesome. You can read more about them and place an order in my doTERRA shop.
You’ll need 3 1/2 cups of distilled water.
Mix it all together in a glass container. I just used my large measuring cup because it’s easy to pour.
These are my awesome glass bottles…I love how simple they are, and I already have plans to use more for other projects. You can decorate them however you want. Very cool!
I just bought these funnel spoons…they worked perfect for this. Just place one on the top of your bottle and pour very slowly. You won’t waste a drop!
Of course, you need pretty things to decorate your bottles. I could never have enough washi tape or tags! {or any other craft supply…ha!}
Add your favorite washi tape to the top…this one is fabric and it has a great look. I bought it at Michaels.
Add a bit of twine and such and you’re all set. I told you it was simple. I spent more time decorating the bottles than I did making the Lavender Water.
You’ll want to store your lavender water in a glass bottle. It’s the perfect gift for your friends that have everything!
Have fun with it!

These are darling. Thanks for sharing. Share on my FB
What size are the bottles and where did you purchase them? Cute idea.
Hi,
I love these, so cute… how come you use vodak?
Very nice! What do you use lavender water for? Why the vodka?
can you use deionised water instead of distilled water?
