Some of you have asked how to make your own Diffusers.This seems worth a try.Choose glass bottles and vases that have a small opening at the neck andthat compliment the room you are placing it in. You can use a clear glasscontainer or one that’s decorated, the choice is yours. The reeds you useshould 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 containerthen stick the reeds or bamboo skewers inside. After about an hour, turn thereeds over so the other end can wick up the oil, this will help speed thingsup.Position the reed diffuser in a location that is not near electricalappliances (in case of spills) and won’t be in danger of being accidentallyknocked

over.After first filling the reed diffuser with fragrant oil, give the reeds achance to soak up the oil, soon you’ll be able to enjoy their lightfragrance.That’s all it takes to make your own!http://tipnut. com/reed- diffusers/Making Your Own Diffuser OilsYou can make a homemade version of reed diffuser oil with just a few simpleingredients that you can easily find locally.Mineral Oil, Sweet Almond Oil or Safflower Oil: Select a combination of yourfavorite essential oils and add as many drops to the carrier oil (MineralOil, Sweet Almond Oil or Safflower Oil) as you need to achieve the fragranceyou’re after (a good amount to start with is about 12 drops of EO per 1/4cup of oil). Next add a splash of vodka to help the oil travel up the reedsbetter. You could also mix the carrier oil with your favorite

perfumeinstead of essential oils (no addition of vodka will be necessary if usingperfume).Vodka, Essential Oils & Water: Mix approximately 12 drops of essential oilswith 1/4 cup of water then add a splash of vodka. The alcohol helps theessential oils bind with the water. This method will evaporate faster thanusing oils, but still works.Holiday Oils http://www.aromathy me.com/blend2. htmlLove AromatherapyTry our Scent of the Month ClubEssential oils, blends, soaps, candles and more.Join Now!http://www.aromathy me.com/club. htmlThis Daily Aromatherapy Tip isbrought to you by AromaThyme.comand the Scent of the Month Clubhttp://www.aromathy me.comDisclaimer--
