Give yourself or someone you love a gift that makes breathing easy effortless.

Rather than spend a fortune on a commercial aromatherapy diffuser, why not make one yourself? Thanks to the internet and some creativity, you can easily make a DIY diffuser that has style. The following craft was featured on Cupcakes and Cutlery’s blog. We’re summarizing the instructions so you know what to acquire to create your own faux plant aromatherapy diffuser.

Gather the Following Supplies for the Craft

Here is what you need for supplies:

• A Small Planter with a Wide Base. This will serve as the container for your handmade diffuser. You’ll want to make sure that it is wide enough to hold a good amount of lava stone beads.
• Lava Stone Beads. This is how the scent gets dispersed. The beads hold a great deal of concentrated oil on them which makes its way into the air that you breathe.
• A Fake Succulent or Air Plant. It makes the diffuser more ornate and decorative. You can set the planter on a table or window ledge where the sun can heat up the oil and fill the room with a beautiful scent.
• A Favorite Essential Oil. You can choose a single scent to use regularly or create your own blend. Think of whatever feeling that you want to evoke through your sense of smell and make it your go-to oil of choice.

Assemble all the supplies by placing the lava stone beads in the planter along with the fake plant and covering it with additional beads. Add a few drops of the essential oils to the lava stones to ‘activate’ them. Place the gift to yourself in a location where you can see it and appreciate it or put in a pretty gift bag to give to your relative or friend.
