I love a great holiday candle, especially Balsam Fir! It reminds me of a Christmas tree!
I like to burn holiday scented candles all year long and always stock pile up! Yet that can get expensive so here is a cheap and easy way to fill your home with my second favorite holiday scent, pumpkin pie!
Now it's not as powerful a smell as baking a real pumpkin pie, and honestly nothing beats that! But hereare two welcoming DIY home scent recipes to try!
PUMPKIN PIE SCENT
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 cinnamon stick or 1 teaspoon powdered cinnamon
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Put water in a kettle and let it come to a boil.
- Place all the ingredients in a pot on the stove and add the boiling water to the pot and stir.
- Turn the oven on to a low heat and just let the spices and water simmer, stirring occasionally and if needed add more water through the day.
APPLE PIE SCENT
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 tablespoon all spice
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon cloves
- 2 cinnamon sticks
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Put water in a kettle and let it come to a boil.
- Place all the ingredients in a pot on the stove and add the boiling water to the pot and stir.
- Turn the oven on to a low heat and just let the spices and water simmer, stirring occasionally and if needed add more water through the day.
These recipes are very similar but the cinnamon sticks with the cloves give a very strong apple cinnamon smell but both recipes amazing!
