Does anyone know how i could put some scented oil into a pillow or small item??

Question

I would like to put some aromatherapy oils like lavender into a small pillow. I dont know how i would do this though. I would have to put the oil into something small that i would be able to stick inside of the pillow then sew it up. Any ideas??

Answer 1

If you are not washing this pillow, you can use potpourri.  Spritz some of the oil on it and then let it dry and then put the potpourri in a small drawstring bag and then put into the pillow.

Answer 2

Hello Toledo,

I think hazel eye's solution with the potpourri is a great one!  That is what I would try!

Answer 3

You can spritz the oil onto a cloth like a fabric softener sheet or pellon (used for interfacing) and then insert it into the pillow.  It won't be "crunchy" from potpourri or dried herbs and if you make a pouch or a pocket for it that you can easily change, you can freshen it up with a different fragrance when the sheet wears off.  You could use velcro on a small section of the closure so the sheet could be changed.

Answer 4

I would put a few drops of oil onto the actual herb or bloom and put it deep inside the stuffing of the pillow or just add a few drops onto a cotton ball and bury it inside the stuffing, making sure there was lots of stuffing around it.  Then just sew the pillow up as usual.

Answer 5

I don't now how the oil would stay in place and not 'oil' everything else up too.

Check out natural food stores for lavender to put into a pillow.  You could pour small amounts of the lavender in the pillow then some of the stuffing, then lavender etc.  I think it would smell lovely.

Good luck!!!!
