Upcycling Ideas For Old Essential Oil Bottles
Create Your Signature Blend
Instead of blending your favorite essential oils each time you use your diffuser, why not mix them all and store them in an empty essential oil bottle?
Use Them For Smelling Salts
Essential oil bottles are convenient for storing smelling salts. You can carry it around without a fuss. Simply fill a clean or almost empty essential oil bottle with Epsom salt, then add a few drops of essential oil as necessary.
Set Up A Travel Kit
You probably have your favorite essential oils in larger bottles, which are a hassle to bring during travels. You can make these essential oils more travel-friendly by storing smaller quantities in old essential oil bottles. Just make sure to label them properly!
Store Carrier Oils
Carrier oils are often stored in large bottles as well. But if you want to have one handy in your bag or car, you can store carrier oils in old essential oil bottles.
Make A Sampler For Friends And Families
If you have a friend or family member who is interested in essential oils, why not gift them with an aromatherapy sampler. Add a few drops of your favorite essential oils into old essential oil bottles and share it with them.
Create Custom Perfumes
Essential oils make great perfumes. However, you need to dilute them with a carrier oil to be applied to the skin. Create your custom perfume and store it in an old essential oil bottle. This makes for a cute handmade gift!
Mini Diffusers
Keep all corners of your home smelling great with mini diffusers made with essential oil bottles. Simply remove the cap and orifice reducer, insert cotton infused with essential oil or a blend, then distribute the mini diffuser. If you’re feeling crafty, you could even paint the bottles.
