DIY reed diffuser

i am a HUGE and i mean HUGE fan of creative do-it-yourself projects. and we will have many more amazing diy projects in the future of d'arcie's LOFT, but for today just wanted to give you a little hint about reed diffusers.

i purchased a rather expensive reed diffuser a few weeks ago because my inlaws were coming over for the weekend. don't you love when that happens?! so i run to target and pay a pretty penny for this reed diffuser.

it's pretty, i love the bottle! and it smells very natural which i love too. when i realized these two things, it inspired to me to make my own reed diffusers! to keep this bottle and refill it with my own natural oils!

there are two basic components of natural reed diffuser oils:

1. essential oils - these provide the fragrance (you can find them in stores like pier one or homemade ones on etsy!)

2. reed diffuser oil base - this is a premixed reed diffuser base oil which you can find at crafty stores or again on esty!

you can really use any bottles for a reed diffuser. check out how pretty these are! bottles can be simple or elaborate! and then get the reeds and you're done! simple and cost effective...
