Room Spray For Kids!

Marketing to Mom has been the norm but when marketing to kids you find yourself faced with a whole new set of rules! Kids are not going to go for the scent, they are going to go for the packaging which is what makes making these room sprays so much fun! Don't get me wrong, the scent is still everything once the package is perfect!

To make these the list is quite simple you will need:
Bottles. I find the 4 oz clear bottles PERFECT for this project.
Caps. Black, Clear, White. Does not matter just look at what looks best with your finished product!
Cyclomethicone
Labels. Again, it doesn't matter what color but make sure it all looks good together. I prefer white
MICA. This item is KEY! It is the color, the sparkle and all the fun!
Fragrance. Again here is where you can get fun! Here are some ideas! Because a lot of parents only buy Phthalate Free, all of the scents are Phthalate Free that I have chosen.
  
Cyclomethicone can be used in a variety of ways. This clear liquid is a silicone with absolutely no odor, unlike alcohol based sprays! It mixes with FO’s or EO’s beautifully with no clouding or separation! It has a silky smooth feel and is dry, not greasy. It is commonly used in personal care products such as lotions, creams, deodorants, conditioners, make-up, hair sprays, etc. Can safely be used in PET or HDPE plastic bottles. PVC is not recommended. Small bottles with fine mist sprayers are recommended (this product goes a long way and a small bottle will last awhile!). This stuff is truly amazing, once you try it you’ll be hooked!

Instructions for use:
Mix in FO or EO at any dilution depending on desired strength and recommended usage levels of FO or EO. Common dilution rates are 1 part FO/6 parts cyclo up to 1 part FO/3 parts cyclo. For these sprays I used about a 20% dilution rate or about 4 parts cyclo to 1 part fragrance.

Use your imagination. On the monster sprays consider a label that has a cute monster graphic, nothing scary of course with a saying like Monsters, Monsters go away, don't come back another day. Or a simple label that says NO MORE MONSTERS! On the Angel Spray look at the label above or use something simple like Angel Spray makes for special angel dreams. You could call it Good Dreams Fairy Spray etc. Use your imagination! Kids love things that are geared toward their imaginations!

Happy Crafting!
