HOMEMADE INSECTIDE

If you are a stamper or one who scrapbooks, you are already into do-it-yourself projects.
Here's a recipe that can save you money and is safer all-around than chemicals to control those pests that invade your green space.
 
DIY July: For those with a green thumb, here’s a homemade insecticide. Combine 25 drops of peppermint and sweet orange essential oils with 1 teaspoon of unscented liquid soap, and dissolve in 32 ounces of water. Use with a spray bottle.
Happy summer, Everyone!
