Tree Scent Ornaments

 It is that time of year and I am a little bit behind.  Preparations for the Allied Arts Council Christmas Store in Sprice Grove are underway.

I am adding some 1 of a Kind Tree Scent Ornaments created from found items collected over the last year.

This is a metal star with a Noel banner at the top.   It had a dangly which I removed and replaced with a grey felted ball.  I hung the ball from a metal jewelery head pin supported by a metal cutwork disc.  I gave it a loop at the top for hanging. Added a ring to attach it to the existing loop.

The felt ball is the diffuser where the essential oil will be placed to provide your favorite scent.

The scent can be a tree scent like pine, fir, spruce or it can be a seasonal scent like cinnamon, cranberry, or gingerbread or it can be your favorite scent that puts you in a relaxed mood.

I would recommend pure essential oils rather than others oil which may contain funky ingredients.

Spool tree ornaments are always popular.  This is a larger spool that measures 1.75" tall.  

I chose a wool fabric in red, teal and purple, cut it to length and height and frayed the edges.  I added a small teal heart to create a focal point on the ornament. I hand stitched it on. I wanted the one end of the fabric to stick out so I sewed it away from the edge with teal thread.

I chose red bulky yarn in red for the hanger.  I put a knot on the bottom end then a teal wood bead below the spool.  The spool still has its labels so I wanted those to be visible.  I added a knot at the top of the spool and then another at the top for the ornament hanger.

The heart is where the essential oil can be place or on the fabric at the back if you are concerned with staining.  Most pure oils do not stain and completely disappate leaving no residue.

This ornament is a picture frame which I recycled into a oil diffuser.

I cut a 1 1/8 th inch circle of white felt with my SB circle Nestabilities dies. The circle that looks black is really chrome. I hung a small silver pinecone in the middle. The pinecone is hung on white sewing thread and trapped when the chrome circle is inserted.

I used a silver cord for the hanger.  I added a clear bead to have the 2 pieces of cord hang together.  Knots below and above the bead. Another knot at the top to end the hanger.

The white felt is the diffuser and where a few drops of pure essential oil is placed. 

I repurposed a mini light cover into a difuser.  

I removed the hooks near the hanger which would have captured the mini light edges. 

I opened the cover and traced the shape to cut the yellow felt. I placed the felt inside and added a few Bling Zot so keep the points in place. I added 2 small yellow buttons to allow me to add the cotton thread hanger.  One is on the inside and the other on the ouside. 

Once they were in place I could replace the cover.

A few drops of pure essential is placed on the yellow felt allowing the scent to difuse out of the holes in the cover.
