Making your own Reed Diffuser at home from reused materials and lovely essential oils is easy.
Here is what you need:
- A jar {or reuse your origonal reed diffuser bottle or jar}
- Bamboo skewers {or reuse some origonal reed diffuser sticks}
- Spirit alcohol – any will do
- Essential oils
All you need to do is ruse your origonal reed diffuser or find some bamboo sticks or skewers, even wooden chopsticks will do!
Spirit alcohol is used because we need a higher percentage for evaoprating the oils – do not use an oil like olive oil beasuce the smells will stay in the bottle where as alcohol evaoprates and takes the essential oils with them, making your room smell lovely. Vodka and Gin are good because they dont change the smell of the essential oils but I use whatever is in the house – usually Whiskey or Brandy and it gives the oils a nice wholesome fragrance.
Add the spirit alcohol to the bottle or jar. Add your own blend of essential oils – a total of about 10-20 drops and add your sticks. Turn daily to release the smell and enjoy!
Using essential oils is a fun way to enjoy the sense of smell and this is anther great, safe way to use them.
