How to Enhance Your Felt Creations with Essential Oils

We love wool felt not only because it is natural, renewable, biodegradable, thermal insulation, fire-resistant, sound insulation, and it is hypoallergenic! Wool felt is naturally hypoallergenic, making it suitable for use in environments sensitive to allergens. Its ability to resist dust mites, mold, and mildew contributes to a healthier living space.

They are great to work with children. Today, we will show you how to take it to the next level.

Using essential oil on felt is a simple and effective way to best utilize the felt shapes you have on your hands. We get inspiration from our talented partner Whiffahugs for putting essential oil into the smaller pieces that can be carried around.

Our favorite combination is lavender oil and felt garland. Lavender oil is well-known for its calming effects and can help reduce stress, improve sleep, and freshen up living spaces. It's a great choice for children's rooms if your kids have anxiety or stress.

When you put essential oil on cute felt shapes or garlands, it combines aromatherapy benefits with safe objects. Some people also put the felt shapes in their cars as air refreshers.

Here's how to use lavender essential oil on felt and why it can be particularly beneficial for children:

Prepare the Lavender Essential Oil:

Have your bottle of pure lavender essential oil ready. Children should use high-quality essential oils that are safe for them, like therapeutic-grade oils.

Caution:

Lavender essential oil is safe to use. However, it is important to use it carefully. Before using it on a child, make sure to check for any allergies or sensitivities they may have. Keep essential oils away from kids, and talk to a doctor if you're worried about using them near children for aromatherapy.

Apply the Essential Oil:

Place a few drops of lavender essential oil onto a cotton swab or a small piece of sponge. Gently dab the essential oil onto the felt shapes. Avoid saturating the felt; a few drops will suffice. The felt will absorb the oil and act as a diffuser.

Allow the felt shapes to dry completely before hanging them or placing them in the children's room. This should take just a few minutes as the felt absorbs the oil quickly.

Refresh as Needed:

The scent will gradually fade over time. Simply reapply a few drops of the essential oil to the felt shapes as needed to maintain the calming aroma.

Of course, you can consider using other essential oils like rosemary or eucalyptus for additional benefits and fragrances.

Adding scented felt decorations to kids' rooms can create a calming atmosphere and improve their daily lives and well-being.
