The diffusers or ornaments, if you decide not to scent them, are made with three felted balls, colorful ribbons or embroidery thread and wooden beads. You will use merino wool and a wet felting technic to create the felted balls. The balls can later be scented by dropping essential oil or spraying perfume on them.

The essential oils or perfume are not provided.
