Lia ADD…II will use the essential oil blend to the wooden balls as I
am not sure if the fragrance will be effective with the cord covering on the wood ring.
Thank you Patricia Keane
Lia Just an FYI….you can apply essential oil to the wood ring and it will act as a passive diffuser for the fragrance oil.
I use the Plant Therapy website for my essential oil products. They had a product using this wood ring as a passive diffuser.
I am going to use their Christmas Tree essential oil blend on this project to hang on the tree.
Thank you ! Patricia Keane
That is such a great idea!! I might just bring that up in the Member Make.
