Instructions
Follow these steps to create your own DIY Clay Diffuser Stones:
1. Prepare Your Workspace: Clear a flat surface and gather all your materials. This will help streamline the process.
2. Knead the Clay: Take the air-dry clay and knead it until it is soft and pliable. This ensures that it is easy to shape.
3. Roll Out the Clay: Using a rolling pin, flatten the clay to about ¼ inch thickness. Make sure it’s even for uniform drying.
4. Cut Out Shapes: Use your cookie cutter or mold to cut out shapes from the rolled clay. You can make various designs, such as hearts, circles, or stars.
5. Create Holes: If you want to hang your diffuser stones, use a straw or a skewer to create a small hole at the top of each shape.
6. Dry the Stones: Place your cut-out shapes on a baking sheet or tray. Allow them to dry for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the thickness.
7. Scent the Stones: Once they’re dry, add a few drops of your chosen essential oils to each stone. Allow them to absorb the fragrance for about 15 minutes.
8. Decorate (Optional): If desired, paint your stones with acrylic paint or add food coloring for a pop of color. Let them dry completely.
9. Enjoy Your Diffuser Stones: Place your finished stones around your home or gift them to someone special.
