DIY Reed Diffuser

Bamboo skewers and essential oils combine to add fresh, natural scent to your living space.

DIY Reed Diffuser

Bring the outdoors in with this simple DIY reed diffuser. Repurpose a glass mason jar, choose your favorite essential oil, and let the natural scent emanate throughout your office, living room, or bathroom!

SUPPLIES:

1 8-ounce canning jar. (A wide-mouth or regular size jar will work.)

4 ounces carrier oil. (I use fractionated coconut oil. Other possible oils include sweet almond oil, coconut oil, or avocado oil.)

75-100 drops essential oil.

10 thin bamboo skewers.

1 teaspoon vodka.

1 mason jar lid with a 1-inch hole.

* You can make your own hole by drilling into the lid, smoothing off the edges with a sharp knife, and adding the appropriate size rubber grommet.

Another option is an arch punch. Hammer the arch punch into the lid and smooth out the edges, then add the rubber grommet.
