	Aromatherapy Reed Diffusers Easy essential oil diffusers... treats for your nose AND eyes! Aromatherapy reed diffusers are awesome. They look great, you don't have to worry about candle safety, and they last for months. Plus, they're fun to make because you can really unleash your creativity on decorating them. You can fill your vase with pretties like river rocks, beads or beach glass, sticks or grasses, etc. And you can embellish the outside of your jar with ribbon, raffia, beads and charms, paint - whatever suits your fancy. Your local thrift shop is a fun place to hunt for unique glass or ceramic containers for this project, and a nature walk will net you some great twigs, rocks and other goodies to play with. To make your own aromatherapy reed diffusers, you need: Ingredients 10 to 15 rattan reeds, about 10 inches (25cm) long Small glass vase or jar 3 tablespoons (45 ml) jojoba oil -- do not substitute! Buy Jojoba oil Decorative items for the vase 250 drops of your favorite essential oil or one of the blends below Directions Decorate the vase. Place your rocks or beads inside. In a small, clean bottle, mix the jojoba oil with the essential oil blend. Cap and shake. Pour the oil mixture into the vase. Arrange the aromatherapy diffuser reeds in the vase, making sure the bottom ends are immersed in the oil. Add any additional decorative sticks or grasses. Et voila! Beauty and function in one fabulous package! Notes: It takes a day or two for the scent to travel up the aromatherapy diffuser reeds and start scenting the room. Also, the aroma is fairly subtle, so if you cook fish or do anything else that creates a strong smell, the scent of the aromatherapy reed diffusers will be masked. I recommend turning the aromatherapy reed diffusers over every few days to strengthen the scent by causing the oil to travel up and down the length of the reed.
