Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

Fragrance Oil
DPG
Bamboo Sticks or Skewers
Glass Container

Step 1

Find a nice glass jar or bottle that has a small opening at the neck. If you have a reed diffuser you have used previously, it is fine to reuse it for this purpose.
Step 2

In a separate glass container, mix fragrance oil and DPG in a 1:3 ratio. For instance if you use one ounce of fragrance oil, mix it with 3 ounces of DPG.
Step 3

Fill your glass container that you want to display with the fragrance oil mixture. Add the bamboo sticks or skewers to the container. This will keep your house smelling nice for weeks!

Tips & Warnings

Use recycled containers to help the environment and save more money.
Place any unused fragrance oil mixture in a glass container that can be sealed. It will stay strong for months.
Fragrance oils and DPG can be purchased at most candle supply stores or soap making suppliers.
Use gloves when working with fragrance oils or DPG.
