I want to make my own room sprays, in my favourite smells - can any crafters tell me info on how it's done, and where I can buy the ingredients?

You can simply use old spray bottles that body scents come in or perfume atomizers. You can mix vanilla and water for a simple one or use a few drops of natural essences that you get at the health food stores mixed in water in a spray bottle.

Go to a natural pharmacy:
1 part grapefruit
1 part lime
1 part bergamot
Combine these essential oils in a spray bottle with pure water.
1 part = 2-4 drops
this is a wonderful blend anyone would love.

Buy the essential oils from most whole food or 'head' shops and either add a drop to an oil burner or mix a drop with water to an old perfume spray bottle.

I took one of those single serve bottles of Vodka ( for an alcohol base ) and added essential oil to it. Add as many drops of whatever essential oil you like and decant it in a spray bottle. You can use more Vodka, of course, in order to fill a bigger spray bottle but I prefer to make smaller batches. I don't use it way often. If you will use it more often, by all means use more Vodka and oil. By the way, Vodka has no scent that why it's used.

Essential oil, water, and spray bottle is all you need. Just experiment with how much scent you want in the water and spray away.

sniff around the garden.
i once had a girlfriend who made her own perfume from rose petals. she soaked them in water for a few days and having removed the petals would dab it on.
pop the liquid into a spray bottle thingy and spray it through the air.

It is best if you use a linen spray base so it wont stain your fabrics and a bit of fragrance oil modifier that helps fragrance oils disperse in water. You can get all you need here http://candlesupplys.us/ . this is my favorite place for all my needs. You can get alot of recipes here as well. I use about 1oz of fragrance per 16 oz. of linen spray base.
