Crafting Your Linen Spray

2. Water Works: Add the distilled water to the mix until the bottle is full. Seal and shake well to ensure a heavenly blend.
3. Bottling Bliss: Transfer your creation into a spray bottle for easy use. Label lovingly, especially if gifting.
4. Preserve and Present: Store the remainder in a cool, dark place. If reusing the distilled water container for storage, be sure to label it as linen spray to avoid any mix-ups.
