Cards & Tissue Paper
Scenting your wrapping paper and greeting cards
adds a wonderful touch to the holidays or any gift-giving occassion.
Directions: Allow an extra day before writing
out your greeting card(s) or wrapping presents. Choose a blend such
as the Christmas Tree blend, Frankincense
& Myrrh Blend, Sugar & Spice
blend, your own creation, or a single essential oil. Put a few drops
of the blend onto a cotton ball. Put up to 15 cards and the cotton
ball in a large ziplock bag, close and let it sit for at least 24
hours. Take care not to let the oil come in direct contact with
cards or envelopes as the fresh oil could stain them. For boxes
of cards, you may also have enough room to just put the cotton ball
right in with the box.
For tissue paper, follow the same procedure, but
place the cotton ball into the plastic package of tissue paper.
Be careful not to let the oil come into contact with the paper.
Close the bag up so the aroma can properly scent the tissue.
Refrain from giving a scented card or scented
tissue-wrapped gift to anyone who has allergies or sensitivities
that may be affected by the oils.
