DIY Reed Diffuser on a Bigger Scale
I'd seen a Giant reed diffuser in a friends house.
There pricey depending on the size an scents.
I got given this vase by my anthoner friend who said "im sure you will find a use for this.
Shes's cool. :)
I've used this for succulents.
Flower's but
It was sat getting dusty an needed a new purpose
I had essential oil's an the carrier oil. So maybe i could make my own reed diffuser with this?
It dowe look like a perfect vessel.
My mind went into overdrive.
The vase.. Or to be my vessel.
The vessel..👍
So below's theres my stem's of roses I use these as I have no reeds. There Very dry an work well.
Cloves,nutmeg,cinnamon,
star anise,bay leaf,
muycia.
*I use'd Fracitnated coconut oil.
*An vanilla essential oil..
You can use safflower oil, sweet Almond oil, As carrier's.
Some say johnstons baby oil.?
But i have not tried that one
Rose stems, dry spice's an my oils
You dont have to use all off these?
I just had some from christmas leftover.
The stems i did dry from dec.
My hubby bought me these i like drying flowers ect..
These were perfect.
I start with pouring the fracitnated coconut oil into a cup.
The carrier is very important as this carry's the smell up the stem.
which we want right👍
Mixing the oils.
*Add 1/3 cup water.
*1/2.cup fracitnated
coconut oil
* Add your essential oil.
I used vanilla 15 drps..
*Then add all your spices.
Give a good mix around. woww...
This smell's good.
Adding the stems make sure there all standing in the mix
Look's cool.
Smells even better.
I had added a 1/3cup water at this point.
Making sure my rose stems would work i snipped both ends.
Make sure there all standing in the mix.
Allowing the luscious smell to be carried up the stem's.
As they will 😁.
I place'd some white twine around the neak of the vessel to break it up a little bit.
Smells so good.
Placing it in my hallway postioned above the heating Allow's the delightful fragrance to flow through out my home.
Even my hubby as commented.
He hates the plugins.!!.
Loving the new vessel. Wow.
I do like how the vessel (varse) looks.
It smells so good. An natural..
The cinnamon, vanilla, coconut an cloves.
All smell beautifully combined together.
I walk'd in my home today after work, An was amazed at how good this smell's for a DIY version.
They are pricey an looking these up £29 for some. Im so pleased i made my own. Love how the upcycled rose stem's look an a new style for the vessel.
Smells amazing mostly it's natural.
No chemical's.
Thank's for reading. :)

Have a question about this project?
Would you recomend your mixture for pine cones
Has anyone tried bamboo instead of rose stems?
Is there anything you can use in place of the coconut? Just not a fan of it.
