How to Make Your Own Clay Diffuser Stones at Home (Easy DIY Guide for 2025)
Learn how to make your own DIY clay diffuser stones at home. These handmade stones absorb essential oils and release calming scents—perfect for gifts, decor, or everyday aromatherapy.
Ingredients
- Air-dry clay (white or terracotta)
- Wax paper
- Rolling pin or glass bottle
- Cookie cutters or silicone molds
- Toothpicks, skewers, or chopsticks
- Essential oils of choice (lavender, lemon, peppermint, eucalyptus, etc.)
- Optional: twine, ribbon, acrylic paint
Instructions
- Lay down wax paper and roll out air-dry clay to about ¼ inch thick.
- Cut into fun shapes using cookie cutters or press into silicone molds.
- Poke a small hole at the top with a toothpick or skewer if you want to hang them.
- Let the clay stones dry 24–48 hours, flipping once for even drying, or bake at 150°F (65°C) for 1 hour.
- Check firmness—stones should feel solid and ceramic-like.
- Apply 1–2 drops of essential oil to the back of each stone once fully dry.
- Refresh with oil when scent fades (about every 3–7 days).
Notes
Use high-quality essential oils for best scent and avoid adding oil before the stones are fully dry. These make great gifts when packaged in kraft boxes or muslin bags.
