Scented Oil Diffuser with Reeds

Source of Recipe

From "Gifts in Jars" by Natalie Wise


Recipe Introduction

"Scented oil diffusers are great because they don't use any electricity and continually produce aromatherapy. They also happen to have a cool modern aesthetic that I love. Look for unique jars with narrow openings for this project. The low jar pictured here is a vintage oil lamp. Tall jars from olives also work well. Feel free to switch up the essential oils, as always, but aim for combinations that offer refreshment or relaxation."

List of Ingredients

◦  Jar of choice with narrow neck
◦  Any light oil, such as almond or apricot oil
◦  Orange essential oil
◦  Geranium essential oil
◦  6 to 12 wooden reeds or kebab skewers


Recipe

Fill the jar with the carrier oil until it is about one-third full. Then add the essential oils. I used 24 drops total per cup of oil, but adjust according to the amount of oil in your jars. Top with lid for transport and tie the reeds around the jar. Refresh scent by flipping the reeds upside down every few days or so.
