Notes about DIY Essential Oil Diffuser Ornaments
If you are just starting with essential oils, and do not have all of these in your collection, don’t worry! You can still make these easy diffuser ornaments. Any of the following oils will get you in the Christmas Spirit.
For Christmastime, use oils from evergreen trees like, fir, spruce or cypress. Citrus oils, like orange, and minty oils, like peppermint and spearmint are also great for the holiday season.
Winter baking spices, like cinnamon, clove, nutmeg and ginger would also smell festive together as a room spray during the Christmas season.
