Make Your Own Reed Diffuser Refill Liquid

If you like to use reed diffusers to add some subtle fragrance to your home, why not try this quick recipe to make your own scented liquids?
I keep a small reed diffuser bottle in my office and when it was time to replenish the liquid, I decided to save some money and make my own refill mixture. If you're not familiar with reed diffusers, they work by putting porous reeds into a scented liquid which is then absorbed into the reeds and diffused through the room. A small necked bottle is used so that the liquid will not evaporate too quickly.
You can make a homemade reed diffuser refill liquid using a combination of water and rubbing alcohol. Then the fun part begins by deciding which essential oils to combine for your own personal fragrance blend!
For even more money saving, I used bamboo skewers and a cute little bottle from the dollar store. Find the complete recipe at my blog using the link below.

Charity Maher on Apr 13, 2014I think I'll try this! I have just started using a water based defuser for essential oils and I like that. If there was a Hobby Lobby where I live I'd support them 100%! I have grieved over the millions of babies who have been murdered in our country.

Gail on Apr 14, 2014That is why I only buy small bottles of perfume...and restrict my defusers to 3 -5 oz bottles :-) I prefer to look at them and smell them, enjoy each aspect of their beauty. If the bottle mouth is wide enough, I will even drop colored marbles into the bottom of the jar before adding the scent ingredients.
