Kids love to use this pillow spray, too!  

This pillow spray can be a wonderful way to help your child calm down at the end of the day.  Especially when they are overtired and can’t relax enough to fall asleep.

Moms, you know what I’m talking about. When your kiddo is so exhausted they just won’t let their minds and bodies relax and they cry to try to self sooth, or just keep talking or fighting it.  This can be a game changer in that moment for them.  You can even spray their jammies!!

You can even put the power in their little hands, and let them spray down their sheets themselves.  They will feel empowered and in control.  Especially if you include them when making their own pillow linen spray.

Let them hold the bottle of essential oils and drip the oils into  thespray bottle while counting the number of drops.  My children love this.  It’s a fun activity to do together and they can’t wait to use the linen spray at bedtime.

Ingredients and Supplies for your DIY Linen Sleep Spray

These frosted glass spray bottles over at Amazon are a fave of mine that I use for many essential oil spray. They come in a pack of 2, so you’ll have an extra one for making a yummy room spray.

Witch Hazel

Witch Hazel will bind to the essential oils, and is how the oils will get dispersed into the air and onto the pillow or sheets.    You know the oil saying “oil and water don’t mix”?  That is true for essential oils!  I have used water in a pinch, but Witch Hazel is a better choice.

Since your facial skin touches the pillow that you’re going to be spraying with this, you want to make sure you’re using something that won’t cause sensitivities or breakouts.

 Witch Hazel is very safe and is actually a great tonic for skin, especially the face, so it’s perfectly fine to use as a spray that will be going on your pillow. 

Make sure you use an all natural, pure, unscented Witch Hazel.  This is the witch hazel I like to use:
