Room diffusers are a great way to add fragrance to any space. They are also incredibly easy to make, making them perfect last minute gifts. The sample of the month, Winter Gardenia, brings crisp floral notes along with a hint of peppermint to your space. Accented with a beautiful paper gardenia designed by Lia Griffith, this diffuser looks as stylish as it smells.

TWO: Stir the mixture well until it clears, and measure 4 oz. of the mixture into each of the diffuser bottles.
THREE: Place a wooden collar over each container. The collar is decorative and will just sit on top of the neck of the bottle, it will not screw in. Remove the raffia tie from a reed bundle, and pinch the reeds together as you insert them into the bottle through the collar. Repeat this for each bottle.
FOUR: Gently spread the reeds apart from each other.
FIVE: Add a decorative ribbon or paper flower. This paper Gardenia was created using this template by Lia Griffith. You can find the basic instructions to create the paper gardenia on Lia’s blog, found here. We added a little purple chalk to the center of each paper petal to give the final flower more depth.
