Wouldn't it be nice to take your favorite essential oil scent with you wherever you go? With DIY diffuser jewelry, you can! Essential oil diffuser bracelets and pendants are a fun, creative way to enjoy the comforting aroma of doTERRA Adaptiv Calming Blend throughout your day.
Whether you're heading to work, running errands, studying, or simply enjoying a busy day at home, diffuser jewelry makes it easy to keep the soothing scent of Adaptiv close by.
The best part? You can make your own diffuser jewelry with just a few inexpensive supplies. Here are four different styles to try!
1. DIY Lava Stone Diffuser Bracelet
Lava stone bracelets are one of the most popular types of essential oil diffuser jewelry. Lava beads have a naturally porous surface that can hold small amounts of essential oil, allowing the aroma to gradually diffuse as you wear the bracelet.
Supplies:
- 6–10 mm lava stone beads
- Decorative glass, gemstone, or wooden beads
- Stretch jewelry cord
- Scissors
- doTERRA Adaptiv Calming Blend
Instructions:
- Measure your wrist and cut a piece of stretch jewelry cord, leaving a few extra inches for tying.
- Arrange your lava stone and decorative beads in your desired pattern.
- Thread the beads onto the cord until the bracelet fits comfortably around your wrist.
- Tie the ends securely with a jewelry knot and trim the excess cord.
- Place the bracelet on a protected surface and add one drop of Adaptiv to a lava stone bead.
- Allow the oil to absorb completely before wearing.
Tip: Try combining black lava stones with rose quartz, amethyst, or neutral-colored beads for a beautiful bracelet that complements almost any outfit.
2. DIY Wooden Bead Diffuser Bracelet
If you prefer a natural, earthy look, a wooden bead diffuser bracelet is another great option. Unfinished wooden beads absorb essential oils and gradually release their aroma.
These bracelets are especially easy to make and can be customized with different bead sizes and colors.
Supplies:
- Unfinished, untreated wooden beads
- Decorative accent beads (optional)
- Stretch jewelry cord
- Scissors
- doTERRA Adaptiv Calming Blend
Instructions:
- Cut a piece of stretch jewelry cord long enough to fit around your wrist, with extra length for tying.
- Thread the wooden beads onto the cord, alternating with decorative beads if desired.
- Once the bracelet reaches your desired length, tie the ends securely.
- Add one drop of Adaptiv to one of the unfinished wooden beads.
- Allow the oil to soak into the wood and dry before wearing.
Tip: Choose unfinished wooden beads rather than painted or sealed beads. The natural wood absorbs essential oils more effectively.
3. DIY Braided Diffuser Bracelet
Looking for something a little different? A braided diffuser bracelet is a fun option that doesn't require traditional jewelry-making supplies.
This style uses cotton cord to create a casual bracelet that can carry the aroma of Adaptiv.
Supplies:
- Three strands of cotton cord
- Scissors
- Small wooden beads (optional)
- doTERRA Adaptiv Calming Blend
Instructions:
- Cut three strands of cotton cord, each approximately 12–15 inches long.
- Tie the strands together with a knot, leaving enough cord to fasten the bracelet.
- Braid the strands together until the bracelet is long enough to fit your wrist.
- Add a wooden bead or two while braiding if desired.
- Tie a knot at the end to secure the braid.
- Place one drop of Adaptiv on a small section of the cotton cord while the bracelet is off your wrist.
- Allow the oil to absorb and dry completely before wearing.
Tip: Use different colors of cotton cord to create bracelets for different occasions. Neutral colors work well for everyday wear, while bright colors make these bracelets a fun craft project.
4. Bonus: DIY Clay Diffuser Pendant
If bracelets aren't your style, why not make a diffuser necklace instead?
Air-dry clay pendants are an easy way to create personalized essential oil jewelry. You can make them in different shapes, stamp them with designs, or even add initials.
Supplies:
- Air-dry clay
- Small cookie cutters or clay shaping tools
- Toothpick or skewer
- Necklace cord
- Rolling pin
- doTERRA Adaptiv Calming Blend
Instructions:
- Roll out a small piece of air-dry clay to approximately ¼ inch thick.
- Use a small cookie cutter or shaping tool to create your pendant.
- Add decorative designs using stamps or other clay tools.
- Use a toothpick to make a hole near the top for the necklace cord.
- Allow the pendant to dry completely according to the clay manufacturer's instructions.
- Thread the necklace cord through the hole and tie securely.
- Add one drop of Adaptiv to the unsealed clay pendant and allow it to absorb before wearing.
Tip: Make several pendants in different shapes, such as hearts, circles, or leaves. These also make thoughtful handmade gifts!
Why Use doTERRA Adaptiv?
doTERRA Adaptiv Calming Blend combines essential oils such as Lavender, Magnolia, Neroli, Wild Orange, and Copaiba to create a comforting, relaxing aroma.
Adaptiv is a wonderful choice for diffuser jewelry because its pleasant scent can become part of your everyday routine. Whether you're preparing for a busy morning, taking a moment to unwind, or settling into your evening, simply enjoying the aroma can make that moment feel a little more peaceful.
How to Refresh Your Diffuser Jewelry
One of the best things about diffuser jewelry is that you can use it again and again!
When the aroma begins to fade, simply add another drop of Adaptiv to the absorbent portion of your jewelry. Always apply the oil while the jewelry is off your body, and let it absorb fully before putting it back on.
Start with just one drop. You can always add more later if needed. Avoid applying essential oils to finished gemstones, painted beads, metal components, or delicate fabrics, as they may become damaged or discolored.
