You can hang these diffusers anywhere, they don’t have to just be used hanging on your rear view mirror. You can use them as a key chain, on your back pack, or hanging in any space.

Instead of using basic felt circles, cotton balls or a felt pad to put your favorite essential oil blend on, you can use these cute diy charms made from felt balls and wooden beads instead!

What do you need to make an Easy Essential Oil Car Charm Scent Diffuser?

You are going to need just a few supplies for this fun project

• String, cord, rope of some kind- I used braiding hemp cord for the top part and a thicker craft cord for the tassel.
• Wooden beads- any size or shape. Just have to make sure that the hole is big enough to put your cord or string through
• Felt Balls- I used wool/felt balls. Any size and color is fine. Think of these as your reusable scent pads
• A large needle- I used a large plastic canvas needle
• Scissors
• High quality Natural essential oil

Linked below are the items you need from amazon to make this project:

Wooden Beads

Hemp craft cord

Felt craft balls

Step -by-Step on how to make your own essential oil diffuser for your car:

1. Cut a 12 inch piece of your cord
2. Tie a loop at the top of your cord, this will be used to hang on whatever you choose.
3. Thread the other end of the string through the needle, no need to tie it. We are just using the needle to thread the cord through our felt balls and beads
4. Start stringing your felt balls and beads together in whatever pattern you like

Now let’s make the tassel:

1. Grab another piece of cord or rope that is about 10 Feet long (the longer the cord the thicker the tassel will be)
2. Start wrapping around your fingers until you have wrapped it all up into a loop
3. Next, take another string that is about 12-15 inches long
4. Fold this string in half and place it towards the top of your loop of cord with both ends pointing up
5. With one of the ends of your string start wrapping around the top, include the other string into the group with the other cord.
6. Once you have used up the string by wrapping it around, slip that end through the loop you made that is bellow the wrapping.
7. Tug on the top part of the string and this will creat a hidden knot, pull both ends tightly
8. Trim off both ends so it looks tighty
9. Cut the bottom of your loop of cord so that the bottom is all even.

Now attach your tassel to the rest of your charm

    Using your needle, thread the bottom part of your string through the tassel and tie a knot.

If you are using a wooden hoop like I did, you will need to cut the bottom of your cord and thread it through the wooden loop before you start tying the tassel.

Once you have completed this project you are ready to put a few drops of your favorite essential oils onto the felt balls. You can even put some on the wooden beads as well.

What type of essential oils do you use for a car diffuser?

This is completely up to you and depends on what you are hoping to get from using the oils.

Some of the commonly used oils for diffusing are :

Lavender essential oil- better sleep

Peppermint- reduce headaches

Lemon essential oil- improves concentration

Citrus Blends of essential oils- improves mood

Eucalyptus -Clear sinuses

Chamomile- Reduce stress

How to use your Car Charm Essential Oil Diffuser

These are just a few of the many types of oils you can use on your easy Diy essential oil car charm scent diffuser.

Once the scent starts to wear off just add a few more drops of oil to refresh the essential oil pads.

Remember, if you are using an oil that is not clear and light colored felt balls, it might color your felt balls a little bit.
