Title: Reed Diffusers
Post by: kevie192 on June 07, 2009, 09:40:01 PM
Hi everyone,

I'd like to make some reed diffusers for around the house and ran a quick search on here to see if anyone does the same. I found a few things but no conclusive results, so I wondered if anyone could advise?

Any tips on where to get bottles from? Preferably some that are sealable to stop leakage in the post.
Any ideas on what I use as a base? I use cyclo for my room sprays, will that do it?
What sort of 'reeds' do I need? Are there places I can get then (fairly) cheaply?

Any pics of some you've made are also gratefully received!

Thanks everyone,

Kevin x

Never made them Kev but SP have the reeds and the base. ND have a good range of bottles which might be good for this too, not sure about the closure, normally these come with a sort of wooden cork type thingy, not seen those but I'm sure someone has!

Thanks Corrie.

I did have a look on SP but the base and reeds from there are so so expensive! I'd be pricing myself out of my market with the cost of the raw materials...

If you could dig that out Michelle that would be great!
