Make Your Own Perfume

If there are others out there like me, I am sure you will be happy to know that you can make your own perfumes.  I cannot wear a lot of the perfumes on the market, as they make me ill or 'turn' on me.  Fun, right?  With all of the variety of essential oils we have to choose from, why not make our own perfumes?

This is a fun and relatively easy project. With so many beautiful perfume bottles - like the one above from Amazon.com- we can even make perfumes as gifts. Using these pretty small funnels  makes it easy to fill the beautiful bottles. 

Gather up your supplies, and start making your own perfumes. You can make them the same scent as your lotions, too.  Here is a link to the blog we did on making your own lotions: http://refreshinghome.blogspot.com/2012/12/home-made-hand-body-lotion.html
