DIY Essential Oil Diffuser Necklace
This DIY essential oil diffuser necklace is easy to assemble and makes the perfect handmade gift.
Ingredients
- Air Dry Clay
- Bamboo Skewers
- Hemp Cord
- Decorative Beads, optional
- Paint, optional
- Water Bottle Cap, or other small object to cut clay
- Essential Oils
Instructions
- Start by shaping the clay into a "patty." You want it to be about 1/4" thick.
- If you want to make a circle pendant, use a small cookie cutter or small object to cut it into a circle. I am using the cap off my avocado oil. If you prefer a square, you can cut it with scissors or a knife.
- Make a hole near the top of the shape with a bamboo skewer. This will be the hole where you string the hemp or leather through, so be sure it is big enough for this. I stuck the bamboo skewer all the way through and made a small circle with it to stretch the hole to the right size.
- Set the pendant aside for 2-3 days or until it is completely dry.
- If you decide to paint the pendent, do it at this time.
- Once the pendant is dry, it is time to make the necklace. You can string the pendant onto a piece of hemp.
- Add decorative beads if you want.
- Add 4-6 drops of essential oils to the pendant before putting on.

Notes
- I’ve included step-by-step images in the post above for visual guidance. If you would rather watch, I’ve included the complete step-by-step video tutorial here in the recipe card!
- I prefer to leave my clay pendant bare so it absorbs essential oils more easily, but if you prefer to paint it, you can. Once the pendant is completely dry, paint it as desired before adding the string.
- Avoid hot oils on your necklace as they can burn the skin, including oregano, clove, cassia, cinnamon, and thyme. If you want to use hot oils, dilute them in a teaspoon of carrier oil before adding them to the necklace.
- If you put photosensitive oils on the necklace, avoid going out in the sun with them.
