Creating a DIY reed diffuser solution with cedarwood essential oil and vanilla extract is a delightful way to add a warm and inviting fragrance to your living spaces. Here's a simple recipe with measurements for ingredients:
DIY Cedarwood and Vanilla Reed Diffuser:
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup carrier oil (such as safflower oil, sweet almond oil, or fractionated coconut oil)
- 20 drops Comfort Street Essentials cedarwood essential oil
- 10 drops vanilla extract (or vanilla essential oil)
- 5-10 reed diffuser sticks
- Glass or ceramic container with a narrow opening
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Carrier Oil Base:
- In a measuring cup or bowl, pour 1/4 cup of your chosen carrier oil.
2. Add Cedarwood Essential Oil:
- Add 20 drops of Comfort Street Essentials cedarwood essential oil to the carrier oil. Adjust the number of drops based on your preference for the strength of the scent.
3. Incorporate Vanilla Extract:
- Add 10 drops of vanilla extract to the mixture. If you're using vanilla essential oil, adjust the number of drops according to your preference.
4. Stir Well:
- Stir the mixture thoroughly to ensure that the essential oil and vanilla extract are well combined with the carrier oil.
5. Pour into Diffuser Container:
- Using a funnel, carefully pour the cedarwood and vanilla-scented oil mixture into a clean glass or ceramic container with a narrow opening. Leave some space at the top.
6. Insert Reed Diffuser Sticks:
- Place 5-10 reed diffuser sticks into the container, allowing them to absorb the scented oil.
7. Flip the Sticks:
- After about an hour, flip the reed sticks to saturate the other end with the scented oil.
8. Adjust Scent Intensity:
- If you find the scent too strong, use fewer reed sticks or flip them less frequently. For a stronger scent, add more essential oil.
9. Enjoy the Fragrance:
- Display the reed diffuser in your desired location, such as on a shelf or a table, and let the natural reeds diffuse the scent into the air.
Note: The carrier oil serves as a medium to disperse the essential oil and vanilla extract. Adjust the number of drops of essential oil based on your preferences and sensitivities. Keep in mind that vanilla extract may not provide as strong a scent as vanilla essential oil, so adjust accordingly. Always exercise caution when using essential oils, perform a patch test, and discontinue use if any irritation occurs.
