If you cannot find a jar with a two part lid, then draw a circle onto a piece of loosely woven fabric (such as burlap) and cut it out.

Lavender is great for bedrooms, because it is relaxing. Citrus is great for family rooms and kitchens because it’s refreshing and energizing. Eucalyptus and mint are great for bathrooms because of how fresh they smell.

To create a scent perfect for winter or fall, combine 1 sliced orange, 1 to 2 cinnamon sticks, ½ tablespoon of whole cloves, ½ tablespoon of whole allspice. For a final touch, consider adding 1 anise star. If you like something that is fresh and sweet at the same time, try 2 sliced lemons, 3 sprigs of rosemary, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Another fresh and sweet combination is three to four sprigs of thyme, ½ teaspoon of mint extract, 1 teaspoon of vanilla, and 3 sliced limes.

You can also transfer the ingredients into a jar, mug, or small bowl, and place it on top of a mug warmer, a candle warmer, or a tea pot warmer.
