Curious About DIY? Here’s What You’ll Need
Making your own reed diffuser isn’t difficult. If you’re in a creative mood or want a small project, here’s what you’ll need:
Basic Ingredients:
-
A small glass bottle or jar with a narrow opening
-
Reed sticks (fiber or rattan work best)
-
A base oil like sweet almond, safflower, or fractionated coconut oil
-
Essential oils for scent (lavender, eucalyptus, rose, etc.)
-
Optional: a splash of vodka or rubbing alcohol to thin the oil and help it travel up the reeds
DIY Steps:
-
Fill your bottle with 70% base oil and 30% essential oils
-
Add a small splash of vodka or rubbing alcohol (if using)
-
Stir gently
-
Insert the reeds
-
Flip after an hour, then every few days
The scent will start to release slowly into the room. Keep in mind: scent strength depends on oil quality, reed material, and room airflow.
The Downsides of DIY
While it can be fun, most homemade diffusers don’t last as long or throw scent as evenly. You’ll also notice:
-
Some essential oils separate or go stale quickly
-
Inconsistent scent delivery over time
-
Reeds may clog if not high-quality
