This diffuser necklace is my new favorite! Make your own for less than a dollar.
In fact, if you use waxed cotton cords, you can make diffuser necklaces for about 50 cents each!
Anyone can make these, really. And they’re super fast to make. I made 20 in about 15 minutes. That’s 15 minutes to make all 20 diffuser necklaces!
Perfect for make & take classes, new enrollee incentives, team gifts, teacher appreciation, and more!!
Who wouldn’t love to get one of these?!!

Why do you need to hold the EO when using the lava balls? Their description says they are for essential oils. Have you had a bad experience with them?

Sorry for the confusion.
What I meant was that the lava beads are the thing that hold the essential oil in the diffuser necklace.
But I see how that could easily be read as don’t use essential oils with the lava beads. Sorry about that. Yes, you can definitely use essential oils with lava beads. They are great for that! Just be sure you get the lava beads that are unwaxed. There are some waxed lava beads out there and that makes it harder for them to capture and hold the essential oils.

I also am from Kansas. This is such a good idea. I definitely am going to make some of these for friends and family. I am thinking these may be even good to sell at a craft fair.
