8 DIY Oil Diffuser Projects
Fill your home with your favorite smells using these DIY essential oil diffusers.

Essential oils have so many benefits, and you can use them in so many different ways. It's pretty amazing when you find a product that's great for cooking, cleaning, and making your home smell fabulous.
One of the most popular ways to use essential oils is with an oil diffuser. An oil diffuser can scent an entire room with your favorite essential oil fragrance. It doesn't require any electricity or heating element, so it couldn't be easier to use!
It's also pretty easy to make a DIY oil diffuser, and we have some genius projects that we're excited to share with you! We have some of our favorite crafts below, plus we've included several other ways for you to incorporate essential oils into your home. If you're not in the mood to craft an oil diffuser, then perhaps you'll enjoy one of our bath bombs, an essential oil candle, or even homemade lip balm.

Other Ways to Enjoy Essential Oils

- Place a few drops of essential oil on a tissue or handkerchief. Keep it nearby and inhale when you need to relax for a moment.
- Place a few drops of essential oil on your pillow.
- Place a few drops of essential oil into your bath. You can also place a few drops on a washcloth and place it on the floor of the shower.

I've always wanted to make shower melts with essential oils. I think something with citrus or lemongrass would be a great way to start the day!
