Thanksgiving is going to be here before we know it! And Plant Therapy wants to join your family at the table! Don’t worry — we don’t plan on literally crowding your table, but we can be there in spirit with this new oven mitt.
The oven mitt also makes a perfect hot pad, especially if you give this really easy Scented Hot Pad DIY a try:
Scented Hot Pad
What you’ll need:
- Plant Therapy Oven Mitt
- A square of felt or cotton pad
- Cinnamon Leaf Essential Oil
What you’ll do:
Place 4-6 drops of Cinnamon Leaf on the felt or cotton pad. Insert into the pocket of the oven mitt and place under your hot pans or casserole dishes.
Please keep in mind that Cinnamon Leaf can be an irritant on the skin, so make sure you don’t put your hand back in the mitt with the Cinnamon Leaf still inside and without washing first!

I know that you can use any old oven mitt for this DIY idea but man o man I would LOVE a PT oven mitt! Any chances of buying one??
Unfortunately, this oven mitt is no longer available. But you never know what we might offer in the future!
Such a simple tip. I love it. Thank you!

awesome idea thanks
Received the mitt along with my order and am anxious to try your suggestion. Clever idea and will smell so good during the holidays.
Just received my order today and the first thing I did was make my cinnamon hot pad. Oh wow! It will definitely be on my Thanksgiving table along with all the fabulous scents of the season. Love you Plant Therapy!
Just did this! Smells like the holidays everywhere in my house now!
Great way to spread cheer throughout the kitchen and surrounding areas, of your house.
This is an awesome idea. Thanks for the tip!
This is great for when I have company over for the holidays.
This is amazing, worked great☺️
Thanks for the great idea. Super simple and quick.
Perfect for Thanksgiving dinner
Great idea! I’m going to be using this tip all year to keep the kitchen smelling wonderful….oh my, the different scents to be made with Essential Oils!
Sweet! Totally trying this…
I can not wait to try this!!
What a great idea! I never gave that a thought, but oh, I bet it smells awesome. Going to give it a try this Thanksgiving and see if the family notices.
What a great idea! Also, a perfect way to sneak some good smells into a house that the owners does not notice it is needed 🙂 (just make sure you know what they are allergic too)
I am extra excited about my order that’s on it’s way because it has the oil and mitt along with it! I cannot wait to try this wonderful little tip so that my kitchen can smell like cinnamon on those nights! ♥
This is a great idea – looking forward to trying it out with one of the old oven mitts that I have at home. Need to get my hands on that Plant Therapy over mitt too! 🙂
Okay, I love this idea! So many scents could be used for various events/holidays. And I love that it is easy and quick to accomplish! Thanks for a great DIY!!
This would smell wonderful with a freshly baked apple pie.
what a terrific idea!! Going to try this and maybe orange too!
this will make a great addition to my Christmas decorations!!!
This is so easy to do!! Thank you for another great way to use my oils! What a cute oven mitt by the way!!
What an easy idea. Even making a few extra cloths that you could insert the cotton into to have as pot holders to set hot pans on would be an easy way to have the essential oils in the kitchen ready to go.
This is a wonderful idea not only to add a healthy scent to the air for the holidays, but all year long. thank you for the idea!
Is there a similar holiday scent that would work that is kids safe?
I’m thinking of so many variations of this with different oils. What a great idea! Thanks!
This is a very interesting idea! I never would have thought of it.
Great suggestion, just in time for the holidays! Just placed my order yesterday, excited to try the cinnamon!
What a great idea!
Such an easy diy! I love the smell of cinnamon and already purchased the cinnamon leaf eo. Think I might add a drop or two of my PT Vanilla oleoresin with the cinnamon. Thanks for the great idea!
What are the differences between the 3 types of cinnamon: bark, leaf, cassia. This sounds like a neat idea.
This is a great idea! I love the oven mit. It would be great to use some holiday blends too.
Such a simple idea! Love Plant Therapy tips and tricks!!!!
What a fun idea; I’m anxious to try this out
Love this idea ! Can’t wait to smell the aroma with our delicious meal !!! Thank you for such excellent ideas on your blogs !!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Neat idea!
Such a great idea! ordering my oven mitt now!
What a great idea for the holidays!
I am definitely going to try this! I love the smell of cinnamon this time of year! This is such a great idea.
What an easy and fun idea
Great idea!!
That’s a great idea for a lot of seasonal scents
Love the oven mitt! Looks like this is a great time to restock my essentials and get that wonderful gift!
Cute idea!!
Great idea- I quickly used a kitchen towel clean up a little spill of germ destroyer EO from my diffuser. Not thinking I used the towel when pulling a sheet of cookies from the oven and set the cookie sheet in top the towel. Had a really nice aroma in the kitchen cookies and germ destroyer!
Hmm, not sure when I’d use this – not Kid Safe, I don’t want to overwhelm delicious cooking aromas with cinnamon (or any other unintended scent) Maybe when serving specific desserts at some point, or a tagine or perhaps curry. Only when I know there are others around not sensitive to EO aromas. I get an immediate headache when smelling nutmeg EOs (can sure eat it though) – I wouldn’t want someone to suffer the same effect. Maybe I will try this idea as an under the pillow help me sleep mitt.
I got my oven mitt and cinnamon oil today! So excited to try this DIY.
What a good idea and easy way to enjoy the scent!
This is a great idea!
Awesome idea!
I absolutely love this idea!!! What a great way to get the aromatherapy benefits without using diffuser.
Hpw is is that…this is a must with all my hot pads
This is such a good idea. I’m trying this for the holidays. Thank you plant therapy!
This is such a good idea. I’m doing this for the holidays. Thank you plant therapy!
What a great idea! I’m thinking of doing this all year or during other holidays or seasons. Company coming over, just add a couple drops of whatever you choose.
Great idea! Wondering if the same idea would work for a heating pad?
What a fun idea! Makes me think…could I use this same idea with my heating pad for sore muscles?
Good idea for passive diffusion!
This would be fun with some of the holiday blends too!
So excited. Ordered this yesterday!
What an excellent idea!!! I am going to try this for the holidays!
Excited to get this deal and try this! Going to buy some Balsam Fir to get up to the $35 🙂
Yummmm cinnamon is THE best during the holidays and all year round. Great idea to use with the oven mitt. Extra holiday aromas in the air!
What an ingenious idea! Thanks!
