This is a simple and easy DIY craft to help diffuse the smell of essential oils in your home. This DIY Reed Diffuser is the perfect fix for those rooms that don't have a home diffuser machine and can help you replace commercial sprays or toxic candles. You will need: Rattan Reeds- I bought the ones in this picture at IKEA. Because they are painted they tend to tint liquid they sit in. Ones like these from Amazon will not tint the water. Fractionated Coconut Oil- 1/4 cup Unflavored Vodka- 1 tsp. You can totally use the cheap stuff. It helps the mixture travel up the reeds. Jar with a narrow opening- I bought this one at IKEA as well. Essential Oils-as always I only use Young Living. You can get a discount on Young Living Oils here. You will need 20 drops and you can do a combination of two or just a single fragrance like Lavender for the bedroom. I have some combination ideas below. Mix the fractionated coconut oil, vodka and essential oils in the jar. Arrange your reeds. Flip the reeds after a few hours to help the fragrance travel up the reeds. Then flip them every few days to renew the scent. DIY Reed Diffuser Essential Oil Combinations to try: ...
DIY Essential Oil Fragrance Stones
These DIY Essential Oil Fragrance Stones are a versatile, inexpensive and super easy gift. With just two ingredients, water and baking soda, you can have some cute holiday gifts wrapped up in no time.

Holiday Diffuser Blends | Essential Oils
I've been super busy this week getting holiday crafts done. I can't wait to share some of the things I have been working on. These holiday diffuser blends have really been keeping me going over the last few days. Don't know what a diffuser is? Think part humidifier, air purifier, atomizer, and aromatherapy diffuser into one product about the size of a kleenex box (maybe a little bit bigger). You fill it with a small amount of water and some drops of essential oil. The diffuser's ultrasonic technology breaks any mixture of essential oils and water into millions of microparticles, disperses them into the air, and eliminates odors, create a relaxing atmosphere, and gives you the therapeutic benefit of the oils.....best image if you have no frame of reference for what I am describing? When your mom would put vapo rub in your humidifier as a kid :) Ah, good memories. Here is a great deal on the diffuser and oils if you are looking. Winter Chai: Holiday Diffuser Blend Relaxing. Like a cup of chai dispersed throughout the house. Peppermint Surprise: Holiday Diffuser Blend This one is my favorite. It smells like candy canes and gives me tons of energy to get through my ...
