Keep Bugs Away With a Non-Toxic Mason Jar Repellent

We get a LOT of bugs in Florida and using citronella oil in a mason jar isn’t some “new thing”.  Since we love (love, love)  essential oils instead of using chemicals for things like this, I could not resist these easy luminaries.
I love that they can help to ward off the bugs and they are just so beautiful as well!

DIY Bug Repellent Summer Mason Jar Luminaries

  • 4 Mason Jars (you can also recycle jelly jars, etc) 
  • 40 drops each – Cedarwood, Lavender, Lemon and Thieves essential oils (or use your own combination of oils but these are known to help to repel the buggies). This equals TEN drops of each oil / jar.
  • 2 fresh lemons
  • 2 fresh limes
  • 8 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • water
  • Floating tea light candles
