I have a homemade essential oil diffuser project to share with you today - but this one is for your Christmas tree! This essential oil diffuser is an ornament made with ribbon, beads, and porous lava beads. The lava beads hold and diffuse the oils to help make your home smell as Christmas-like as possible! If you have an artificial tree like I do, then this is the solution I found to getting the authentic pine smell in my home without the mess of falling needles! If you have a real evergreen tree in your home, then mix the natural pine scent from the tree with other seasonal scents like cinnamon or orange! This is an easy ornament to make - and it serves a purpose that is for both your eyes and nose to enjoy this holiday season!

Materials needed to make your Homemade Esssential Oil Diffuser Christmas Tree Ornament: White thread bead needle 1 spacer bead 1 oval lava bead 8 pearl beads star bead (I purchased my white one in a variety pack I found at Walmart. I did find some nice metallic ones over on Amazon that would probably look even nicer!) 30 inch long piece of 3/4" wide gold ribbon (Again, I found my ribbon at Walmart, but you can use any Christmas color ribbon you like - I just recommend the size of 3/4" wide.) Pine, Balsam Fir, Frankincense, or other Christmas Blend Essential Oils

Start by threading your bead needle with white thread. Then take your one spacer bead and tie the thread around it in a knot. This will be the bottom of your tree and the bead acts as the bottom stopper bead.

Thread on your lava bead next. The lava beads are porous and work great at soaking up and holding essential oils. The oils sit on these beads and slowly diffuse into the air. You will use this bead as your "diffuser" on the ornament. After the lava bead, then thread on your ribbon, followed by one pearl bead.

The remainder of the threading will be ribbon, pearl, ribbon, pearl, ribbon, etc. Each time you fold over the ribbon, make it about an inch shorter so it gets shorter as you go up, creating your tree shape.
