These reed diffusers can be quite expensive, but I found a way to do them for just a few dollars and you get the same effect. For maximum scent, make sure the skewers stick out several inches from the top of your container.
Pour your choice of scented oil into a container until it is about 75% full. Use a glass bottle or a vase with a small neck opening. Then stick your bamboo skewers inside. I used lavendar and lemon, use whatever you like. After an hour flip skewers over to saturate the parts that stick out the top above oil level. This speeds up the process of oil soaking up from the bottom and diffussing the entire skewer.
After they have dried, decorate with little washi tape flags if you like. Within 2 hours, you will notice a light fragrance in your room. Rotate ends about once a month to refresh. Works very well!

I really like this tip, but where do I find "bamboo skewers"? thanks.
Editor's Note: Bamboo skewers should be available in any grocery store, probably near disposable aluminum pans or other kitchen tools.
You can get the bamboo skewers at most dollar stores or Walmart.
What a great idea! I am so looking forward to trying this. I make my own lavender body spray, so this should not be too hard to try.
