4. Making Scents
Create your own decorative diffuser to bring the inviting fragrance of garden blooms indoors. Stretch a pretty piece of lace around a glass bottle, and tape it in place. Spray the bottle with a shimmering silver paint. When the lace is removed, a beautifully intricate design will remain. Fill the bottle with ¼ cup almond oil and about 12 drops of your favorite essential oil. To diffuse the aroma, place reeds, skewers, or dried branches in the bottle.
