Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Start with your chosen container; ensure it's clean and dry.
  • If your container has a lid, make sure it has small holes for scent release.

Choosing Scents

  • Select a few essential oils based on your mood or desired atmosphere.
  • Popular choices include lavender for relaxation, lemon for energy, and peppermint for focus.

Infusing the Cotton Balls

  • Place the cotton balls or felt pads into the container.
  • Using the small funnel, add about 10-15 drops of your selected essential oil(s) onto the cotton or felt.
  • Allow the oils to soak in for a few minutes.

Assembling the Diffuser

  • Optionally, tie a decorative string or ribbon around the container for a personal touch.

Positioning Your Diffuser

  • Place your car diffuser in a cup holder or attached to the rearview mirror.
  • Refresh the scent by adding more oil as needed.

Notes

Customize scents by blending different oils for a unique fragrance. Use wicks or reed sticks instead of cotton for a different diffusion method. Decorate your container for personal flair and switch oils seasonally.
