Room diffuser

Since I was bored at home, i try to think up ways to create nice aroma scent for my home. i had several alternatives; candles, essence oil burner, room spray. candles can be fairly expensive, if u r looking for a nice, gd one. it also means that u tends to need afew to create the scent of the room. I wasnt keen on burning, cos of fire incidents may happen if no one is around. So some ideas dropped since I try to avoid using electric ones (troublesome n take up the slots). Room spray is also quite troublesome cos u need to spray them occassionally to have the scent linger in the room. Then i discover something called Reed oil diffusers, they are open bottles filled with scent oils and reed sticks stemming out from the bottle. The scent oils travel up the wooden sticks and releases subtle yet noticeable aroma into the air. It suits all aspects i want. I decided to DIY it n i heard its fairly easy to do.

DIY Room Fragrance is no sweat! i find out, reaallly!!
You can make one quickly, simply, and easily at home. These are what u need:
- A clear glass container with a narrow neck/ opening :) It is important that the container be made of clear glass because this will allow you to watch when the diffuser fragrance is to be refill. Glass containers are also commonly preferred for aesthetic reasons (who wants to have a reed diffuser made from an old coffee mug).
- Reed sticks. Using actual reeds is ideal, but not at all necessary. other such slender, cylindrical wooden pieces will all work fine n acceptable alternatives to using reeds. Thin bamboo skewer sticks will also work (supermarkets sell them for around $3 for a packet of 100). It's important to use wood though, the shape should be similar to that of a reed so that it will be able to work as a proper scent diffuser. Finding real reeds is not difficult, it can be found in any candle / gift stores. Trim them to have at least half of the sticks appears above the contaniner.
- Next will be selecting the fragrance. Creating wonderful fragrance in a room and producing a scent that will welcome guests and allow you to relax when you are at home. This is why choosing a room fragrance for your home is probably the most important aspect of the process of making your own reed diffuser. Once you have selected a fragrance that you feel fits your room and matches your personality and mood, begin by filling your glass container with the ointment all the way up to the half way mark. Then place 3 / 4 or 8 reeds /any other sticks you have selected in the container. Now all set to go. Just let the reeds /sticks do the work of diffusing the fragrance throughout the room. If the scent begins to fade, simply flip the sticks n the original scent will be reintroduced to the room. There are many aromatherapy oils available, which all have their own unique purpose and effect. As an alternative, you can design your own original scent by placing flowers or spices in baby oil and then putting the oil into the container. Blended oil need to be settle for an hour. Add more scent oils to make the blend stronger or add more carrier oil to make the blend weaker. Flip the sticks around every 2-3 days. Replace the sticks every 3-4 weeks. You can even have some ribbons to decorate the glass container / or simply losely tied the sticks together.
