Make This: Water Bead Lavender Diffuser

Water Beads are fun, almost magical, things that you can use in lots of different ways. Mostly they are used in floral arrangements. Today we are going to show you a cool way to use them to help make your home or office smell a little nicer.

By combining the water beads and your favorite essential oils you can create a diffuser any size or style you want.  This diffuser makes a lovely gift. Get the kids to help you make it. They’ll love seeing the water beads grow.

For an example of what you can do, Sarah from the Craft Warehouse Team created this diffuser using lavender essential oil and lavender petals. Use this as a starting off point and make your diffuser anything you want. All supplies available at Craft Warehouse stores.
