As the new year approached, I couldn’t dump the Christmas tree fast enough.
Loved the smell. And the beauty of it. A thing to behold.
But when I’m done? I’m done.
Except.
This year I am keeping the smell of Christmas with me for a little while longer.
By making my own safe, non-toxic, eco-friendly cleaning solution.
I cut the branches. Soaked in mild soap and rinsed. Because who knows what all was up in those trees. Patted dry. Stuffed the branches into the glass, sealable jars. Then poured in white vinegar. Topped them off with a few drops of peppermint oil. Sealed and stored in a cool, dark place.
Should be ready in a week to ten days.
I’ll let you know how things progress.
