Reed Diffuser: How to Make Your Own

How To Make Your Own Reed Diffuser
~ Aromathyme.com ~

Some of you have asked how to make your own Reed Diffusers.
This seems worth a try.

Choose glass bottles and vases that have a small opening at the neck and
that compliment the room you are placing it in. You can use a clear glass
container or one that’s decorated, the choice is yours. The reeds you use
should be at least double the height of the glass container.

You can purchase a package of reeds that are marketed for reed diffusers
(they’re fairly cheap) or try thin bamboo skewers, they work just fine too.
Pour a liberal amount of scented reed diffuser oil in the glass container
then stick the reeds or bamboo skewers inside. After about an hour, turn the
reeds over so the other end can wick up the oil, this will help speed things
up.

Position the reed diffuser in a location that is not near electrical
appliances (in case of spills) and won’t be in danger of being accidentally
knocked over.

After first filling the reed diffuser with fragrant oil, give the reeds a
chance to soak up the oil, soon you’ll be able to enjoy their light
fragrance.

That’s all it takes to make your own!

Making Your Own Reed Diffuser Oils
You can make a homemade version of reed diffuser oil with just a few simple
ingredients that you can easily find locally.

Mineral Oil, Sweet Almond Oil or Safflower Oil: Select a combination of your
favorite essential oils and add as many drops to the carrier oil (Mineral
Oil, Sweet Almond Oil or Safflower Oil) as you need to achieve the fragrance
you’re after (a good amount to start with is about 12 drops of EO per 1/4
cup of oil). Next add a splash of vodka to help the oil travel up the reeds
better. You could also mix the carrier oil with your favorite perfume
instead of essential oils (no addition of vodka will be necessary if using
perfume).

Vodka, Essential Oils & Water: Mix approximately 12 drops of essential oils
with 1/4 cup of water then add a splash of vodka. The alcohol helps the
essential oils bind with the water. This method will evaporate faster than
using oils, but still works.
