1. 

   Mix Your Diffuser Fragrance:
   In a bowl or jar, mix 20 drops of essential oil or other fragrance with 6oz. high-proof vodka or grain alcohol (100 proof or higher). Add a couple of drops of food coloring if you wish to tint your fragrance. Set the mixture aside. (I used Christmas Forest Fragrance Oil from Bramble Berry and a couple of drops of green food coloring in this project.)

2. 

   

   Create Your Diffuser:
   ***Wear protective eyeware and rubber gloves for the first step.***
   '
   
   Wrap your lightbulb in a towel. Smack the end of the lightbulb with a hammer to break the seal and release the filament and innards. (You’ll try to be gentle at first. Don’t be. Apparently, lightbulbs are not nearly as delicate as they look!)




3. 

   

   Pull out the innards with needle-nosed pliers and rinse out the lightbulb with water.

4. 

   

   Attach feet (I used clear glass “vase gems) with glass-friendly adhesive.




5. 

   

   Cover the neck of your diffuser to clean-up the look. You can wrap it with raffia, ribbons, fabric, cork… I used a bit of embossing copper on the project pictured.

6. 

   

   Glue on embellishments, if desired. Fill with fragrance mixture and insert reeds. Enjoy!
   Hugs and blessings~
