DIY Halloween Decorations: Jack-O-Lantern Reed Diffuser

Here is an adorable way to turn your everyday reed diffuser bottle into a festive holiday piece!  The gorgeous glass Jack-O-Lantern will brighten up a room while filling the air with a wonderful aroma!

Materials:

• Reed Diffuser Bottle (our example used Amber Diffuser Bottle)
• Reed Diffuser Sticks (our example used Black Reed Diffuser Sticks)
• Enhanced Reed Diffuser Oil Base
• Fragrance Oil (our example used Pumpkin Souffle Fragrance Oil)
• Paper
• Black Permanent Marker
• Scissors
• Tape

Directions:

1. Using the Permanent Marker, draw the face of the jack-o-lantern on the piece of Paper.  Be creative as you can!
2. Cut the eyes, nose, and/or mouth out of the Paper.
3. Fold over small pieces of Tape and adhere to the back of the eyes, nose, and/or mouth.  (This will ensure you can use the reed diffuser again even after the holiday!)
4. Adhere the jack-o-lantern’s face to the Reed Diffuser Bottle.
5. Fill the Reed Diffuser Bottle 3/4 of the way with a mixture of Fragrance Oil and Reed Diffuser Base.  (Normal mix ratios are between 20% to 40% Fragrance Oil and 60% to 80% Reed Diffuser Base.)
6. Place 10-12 Reed Diffusers into the Bottle.
7. The Reeds will wick the Fragrance up and release the beautiful scent into the air!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Creative Tips:

• We simply used paper and marker for the face.  Felt, Adhesive Velvet, Vinyl, Foam Pieces, etcetera are all wonderful alternatives for a professional looking Scented Jack-O-Lantern.
• If you want a permanent Scented Jack-O-Lantern that you can use every Halloween you can securely glue the pumpkin’s face onto the glass reed diffuser bottle.
• You don’t have to use a pumpkin scented fragrance just because it’s a Jack-O-Lantern.  Try any of our Autumn fragrance oils!  For example:  Autumn Splendor, Brandied Pear, Fall Foliage, or Warm Apple Crisp.
• If you’re allergic to scents, skip the scented diffuser base and reeds, just decorate the reed diffuser bottle with a spooky Jack-O-Lantern face.  After Halloween, take the face off and the colored bottle can then be used as household decor!
