Creating Your Base – It’s actually pretty simple to create your own room diffuser.  Start with our room diffuser base, then mix it with any essential oil or fragrance oil of your choice with a 9:1 ratio of diffuser base to oil. Another great benefit to using Crafter’s Choice diffuser base is that it requires less essential oil than our competitors, which means your oils will go a much longer way and save you money.
 
Reed Diffuser Sticks – Once your solution is mixed, pour it in to a diffuser bottle, place your reed sticks in and enjoy. Remember, there’s no need to flip the sticks in the solution after use. Once reed sticks are placed in the bottle, the solution slowly travels up the reed to fill your room with wonderful aromas. Using reeds the right way will give them a longer life and save you money, as opposed to replacing a dipped diffuser reed after it dries out. Also, 6-8 sticks should be a good amount to fragrance a small room (less than 100 sq. ft.), while 10-12 should be ideal for a large room (over 100 sq. ft.).
 
Warning Labels – There is no clear industry standard for room diffuser warning labels, but we highly recommend adding one to your finished product. Not only as a courtesy to your customers, but also because if you are shipping products internationally, most other countries do require warning labels. Your labels should require something similar to the following:
·       Flammable liquid. Do not light reeds. Do not ingest.
·       Keep out of reach of children and pets.
·       Place on a flat, stable surface.  Oil may cause damage if spilled.

Selecting an Oil – Our reed diffuser base can be used with any essential oil or fragrance oil, but in order for your solution to be considered for use as aromatherapy, it must be an essential oil. Essential oils have long been used for their therapeutic benefits. Be sure to test out different oils to see which ones you like the most. To avoid waste, mix a smaller amount when testing. Keep the ratio of 9:1 described above, but perhaps at the scale of 45 ml of base to 5 ml of oil.
