Someone asked a question as a recent TF Craft request about ideas for reusing chop sticks. I came up with an idea and figure I might as well also submit it as a recycle tip.
If the chopsticks are porous and non-coated wood ones you can place them in a jar or vase and add diffuser oil to use them the same way as a reed diffuser. A jar or vase with a smaller opening at the top would be better because it would keep the diffuser oil from evaporating as quickly.
The picture here is a simple, non-fancified example to show you and I don't have any diffuser oil on hand so used water instead. ;-)

All you need is a cute bow around your jar to add to the decor. Thanks for the idea!!
Very good idea. One question : where do you get "diffusor" oil. Is it different from "essential" oil that you get at health food stores? Thank you.
Tthat's a really bright idea! Saves from $10 & up in costs. I have a couple of them so know that's what they can cost.
Thanks, great tip. I'm gonna try it!
I get the oil from Target, but the refill ones that come in a plastic container without the reeds, it's so much cheaper! I think it cost me about $2-3 and I've had it for about six months now and whoever walks into my place asks "what's that great smell?!"
