Equipment

  • resealable jar (Mason jars are inexpensive on Amazon)
  • vinegar
  • citrus essential oil (optional)
  • old pillowcase
  • pinking shears

Instructions

  • Cut your pillowcase into several rectangles with your pinking shears. My rectangles were about 6" x 4", but as you can tell I wasn't picky about them all being the same.
  • I used a king size pillowcase and only cut up about a quarter of it. I only ended up needing about a dozen pieces in my jar so I had plenty.
  • Stuff about a dozen pillowcase pieces in my mason jar. In a measuring cup I mixed together 1/4 cup vinegar and 3 drops of Citrus Fresh essential oil.
  • I was using a pint sized Ball jar, so 1/4 cup vinegar was plenty. The essential oil is completely optional but it makes it smell so good. Citrus Fresh is one of my favorite scents.
  • Once your liquids are mixed, pour it over your fabric pieces in the jar. Secure the lid on your jar and shake it up. Make sure all of your fabric pieces are well saturated.

Notes

I used a king size pillowcase but any size or similar fabric will do. Just use what you have on hand.
