• Step 1

  Mix Your Diffuser Fragrance:
  In a bowl or jar, mix 20 drops of essential oil or other fragrance with 6oz. high-proof vodka or grain alcohol (100 proof or higher). Add a couple of drops of food coloring if you wish to tint your fragrance. Set the mixture aside. (I used Christmas Forest Fragrance Oil from Bramble Berry and a couple of drops of green food coloring in this project.)

  Step 2

  Create Your Diffuser:
  ***Wear protective eyeware and rubber gloves for the first step.***

  Wrap your lightbulb in a towel. Smack the end of the lightbulb with a hammer to break the seal and release the filament and innards. (You’ll try to be gentle at first. Don’t be. Apparently, lightbulbs are not nearly as delicate as they look!)

• 

  Step 3

  Pull out the innards with needle-nosed pliers and rinse out the lightbulb with water.

• 

  Step 4

  Attach feet (I used clear glass “vase gems) with glass-friendly adhesive.

• 

  Step 5

  Cover the neck of your diffuser to clean-up the look. You can wrap it with raffia, ribbons, fabric, cork… I used a bit of embossing copper on the project pictured.

  Step 6

  Glue on embellishments, if desired. Fill with fragrance mixture and insert reeds. Enjoy!
  Hugs and blessings~
