Spritz a little on your sheets, or into the air of your bedroom, and breathe deeply. When it’s time to retreat indoors, a quick-to-concoct handmade linen spray can infuse your every day with the lighthearted scents of summer. And unlike pricey store-bought sprays that can be overly perfumed, all three of these unique combinations are fresh-smelling. With just four easy-to-find ingredients and these free Hallmark Magazine custom labels, you can create a thoughtful and personalized present.
