- Today lets get into a video on how i make my diffusers - A step by step guide.
I will show you how to make a 160 ML glass diffuser with black fibre sticks and how i label my diffusers so that i can sell them.
What you will need is the following:
Glass diffuser jars (make sure you use jars that are designed for these)
Fragrance oil (you can also use essential oils but the ratios will differ)
Label sheets
fibre diffuser sticks
diffuser boxes
Diffuser base (you can make your own but this is generally easier and around the same price)
Lids and stoppers
Glass containers to mix in.

Thank you so much for these awesome contents of yours. Ive always loved reed scented diffusers and have been inspired to make my own and even turn it into a little business.
That’s wonderful . What a great job makibg those. There’s so many unique jars to
Nicely done! They came out so well, the blooming rose looks lovely.
Thank you. It’s the one I have in my home and it smells so nice
Ok thank you
Was looking through channels & found you😍😍😍now I know how to start💝💝
Welcome lovely to the Chanel . I hope you find it helpful but remember to always have fun
You are honestly the nicest soul I've come across! Once we're out of lockdown I am visiting your store x
Awe you are to sweet. We don’t have a shop front. We are online or you can find us at the Mornington market.
We will also be hosting the Australian soapery and candle conference in March next year
Hey, i would love to know how you actually print your labels? :) This was really helpful! thank you x
I have a video about how I make them on canva, print on vinyl and cut on cruicut but I’ve grown enough to be starting to get labels professionally made
Hi Rhonda, I have been inspired by this video. How do I start from scratch with a $100 budget? I'm not going to attempt to sell anything yet, but what do I need to practice on before I think of selling. I'm only interested in diffusers at the moment. I'll make them as Christmas gifts this year and see how I go. I'm stoked to have come across your channel. I'm in Sydney 😊
Hi Claire . Welcome to this baby channel.
If you want to make diffusers the best place to but it all is eroma . You basically need the bottles, diffuser reeds, bottle caps, base diffuser mix, fragrance. Also boxes if you want to box it. You don’t need to register as a soap maker as that’s not classification of soap or hazard chemicals like soap.
Then you can register as a sole trader through the ATO AND ASIC .
It sounds complicated but little steps and you can do it.
I have also started the Australian soapery and candle conference which is a conference for for want be business owners, creators and makers Thad held in Melbourne each March and that would be a great fit. You can come live or online to see the event.
I’ve piped in the website fir you to look at.
Also I do a Sunday chat at 11am every Sunday on here so you can pop on if you like
australiansoapingandcandleconference.com
@@NelsonInteriorSoapery thanks for your quick reply. Is the conference going to be put on RUclips later? I have young kids and the 11am Sunday is tricky for me but I can watch it later either here or on the website if it's recorded. Keep up the good work. I can't wait to get started ♥️
@@claireg388 today at 11 I do a live chat and that’s on my channel later to watch. If you watch other videos about the conference you can see information but that’s a business conference next year in March and that won’t be on the internet as it’s a ticket buy for that .
Join my instagrams and you will see.
Today’s talk will be about starting in bussiness, how to be successful and some steps to get there
Hi! I put some glitter in my car diffusers and the color of the glitter turned the rest of it that color. Is there a way to prevent that? Thank you for your videos!
Yes i know what you mean as its happened to me. Its because they are coloured and the solution is strong. Honestly i just work with it and never have complaints
Thank you so much for this video! Watching all the way from South Africa and I just followed you on Instagram and TikTok
Awe thank you. A huge welcome
I used to Work with Eroma in Epping VIC.. people loved the diffusers. Great video Rhonda. Have a great day 😊
Awe that’s great. Thank you for letting me know. Great experience for you too
@@NelsonInteriorSoapery alot of interesting insights from small hobbyists to large candle production businesses. Will start uploading my candle knowledge soon 😊
@@Coconutluxenaturals good on you. Give it a go as you never know. I spend at least 25 hours a week recording and editing so make sure you plan it out well but you can just do 1 a week if you want at the start to see how you go. It’s about giving it ago . I honestly have been shocked with the large and super supportive followers. But others have said it’s been hard for them as their channel has not grown as fast so I’m not sure the secret. I just try to be me and helpful as that was my goal to give recipes and help rather than holding it tight to my chest but it’s a personal choice too. Let me know when you start
@@NelsonInteriorSoapery thank you Rhonda the channel is up and running would love you to subscribe. I've been candling and Soaping since 2010 . more active on Instagram however I'm now giving RUclips a go. I believe that giving value to people is what the key to growth is and you've done just that x 🙏👏
@@Coconutluxenaturals subscribed. The best of luck to your channel
Can you add food coloring for color, or would that damage the scent or reeds?
No never use food colouring. Its not designed for this. You can use water soluble dyes
Thank you for the confidence boost!!! ♥️
Any time. We all need it
if i want use essential oil what is the percentage and can i use with fragrance oil at the same time
No you cant use both as it would be to much. You need to check the essential oil as they are all different on %
Hello Not have in my country reed diffuser Base can give me what way of making it at home
Sorry. I dont have a recipe as i buy the base
Can I use fragrance oil that says on label “ for soaps and candles” with diffuser base for reed diffuser:?
Yes you can. Always ask the supplier if your concerned. Fragrances from suppliers will specify if its for diffusers but most are
Wow Rhonda 1.23k subscribers well done all the best to your🌸
Thank you Kim. I’m shocked prob like you, there’s not many channels that actually give out recipes
No there is not that many channels for recipes. I don’t know what goes through some peoples heads because we are all in this together and because no one soap will ever be exactly the same - design, texture, and fragrance. So just lets share it would be a much better world I think and thank you for sharing all your recipes, it will also help someone out there that maybe struggling.
@@kimwelfare9738 that’s what I think. I know others are worried someone could take their hard earned recipe but I believe people buy off the look first and the trust in the person selling
Thank you for the amazing video ☺️
Your welcome. Glad you like it
Truly simple thank you
Your welcome. Glad you enjoyed it
Hi please can I use a liquid color pigment to color both candles and diffuser ?
Yes if it’s candle approved
Do you actually have a Pinecones and Holly recipe? I'd love to try to make a perfume. I use the aroma 360 scent on Xmas, but I love the smell that I can smell that the whole year long. Would you be kind enough to give me a recipe? Please👐
I would help but I don’t have that one. I’m not sure what the scent is
Thank you for another amazing video. How’s the throw from Eroma diffuser base as I read on one of the group that Eroma one smell like chemically. I haven’t use this one as ACS is out of stock. Thank you 💕💕
I’m happy with it but it does have a slight alcohol scent
@@NelsonInteriorSoapery thank you 😊
Where can I buy the diffuser base? Or how can I make the base by my own ?
I buy it from pure candle supplys.
Hi Rhonda. I really like "glass diffuser jars with black top". My favourite colour also black & red. Unfortunately i cant find it. If u can could u pl tell where is the place i can order these. Thanks.
Sure the plain glass is from eroma in Australia and they have many lids. Also pure candle supples have black bottles
Hi Rhonda,
I have the same things as you from Eroma! I know the 75% 25% quide but not sure how much to put I'm my 250ml diffuser jars, can you please help?
Also, do you print your own labels on am inkjet printer? Thanks 🙂
Hi there. Yes I do make my labels. The fragrance is 62.5 and base 187.5 if you are working on the 25/75 basis
@@NelsonInteriorSoapery Thank you 😊
What is this jar size, you are using?
My next question what are some general start up expenses?
This is a huge question but a very basic
Ingredients
Bowls, kids spatulas
Registration
Website
Social media
Business name
Business cards
Wax/Shea/oils
Approximately $2000 will get you started
What USA companies would you recommend for reed diffuser base?
Unfortunately I am unsure as I’m not in the USA but ask them if it’s a clean smell or not as the clean scent sure not smell of any chemicals as some bases do smell like that
That is lovely 👌😘😘
Thank you 🙏
What the base is made of?
They are all different. If you go onto each suppliers site to see the specs
Very pretty.
Thank you Margaret . It smells divine to
Im in South Africa and I cannot find diffuser base oil that does not reek of alcohol. The alcohol scent is so strong.
Yes I agree . Lucky for me the Australian made diffuser oil has no smell at all
Hi Rhonda quick question , I don't have any candle liquid dyes. Can I use BBW liquidate??
I would only use candle approved dyes
@@NelsonInteriorSoapery would you say only the candle liquid dyes or is it possible to use the candle block dyes. This wouldn't dissolve though
how long do the reed diffusers usually or typically last? I know it likely depends on the fragrance like with anything else, but tpically speaking? Also what do these usually sell for?
I sell mine fir $32 but I use fragrance oils that cost up to $65 fir 500 mls . nelsonsoapery.com/products/nelson-diffusers-blooming-rose?_pos=3&_psq=dif&_ss=e&_v=1.0
This is the link for mine on my store.
So far my testing is that they can last for up to 5 months . But generally I’d say 3 months . My blooming rose is my favourite one to date. You can make the base yourself but honestly I feel that companies like eroma have tested and done all the homework to create the base so you don’t need the fuss. Hope this answers your question 🍒
Hello, I tried my hands on diffuser but they get cloudy once I put them in my bottles
What could be wrong?
Could it be my fragrance or base?
Thank you
It may be . Are you using an oil base or alcohol
Hello from Greece! I want to ask if you have attended soapmaking seminars before starting your own business? thanks
No I have not as in Australia there was none when I started so then I started the very first Australian seninar australiansoapingandcandleconference.com/
I work really hard at getting my business together.
Make goals, be stubborn as that will help you be very determined and never let go of the dream.
I was watching an actor talk the other day and was surprised that he said the same thing I say all the time - dream big and always push more.

Where do you get the gold flakes?
From many places that sell glitters and craft. Even department stores and discount craft places
What colour and brand pink did you use and how much did you put in to get the light pinky colour? Also, could you please do a video on making those labels for those jars? Thank you
Hi. I use azure red and that becomes pink in most bathbombs. As for colour you need to test as getting a certain colour with depend on many variables but start with 1/4 Tea spoon . It’s hard to give certain colours as monitors, ingredients, and more effect it. Also not all ingredients are equal as a bicarb from one supplier will be different to another.
Labels for these jars are very tricky and a lot of angles had to be done to achieve it, my husbands an engineer so he helped achieve angles and so on but look up cup or ice cream container labels as that’s how I did it . Hope this helps
Oh sorry I did not realise you mean diffusers. Look on Aussie candles. I think it’s just called pink
@@NelsonInteriorSoapery is it liquid colour?
@@summabarling7886 yes it is. It’s candle liquid and no more than 1-2 drops
@@NelsonInteriorSoapery Sorry I forgot to ask about the sticks. Which length do you use and do you think the reed or fibre diffuser sticks are better?
You mentioned one can make their own base, I am curious what exactly is the base made of??
I actually buy a pre made one but you can make a base from oils or an alcohol water blend but it’s a lot of messing around
E Angel03.....try Frugal and Thriving reed diffusers.....
@@pamelahoberg1800 thank you. As I sell to retail stores I need to have tested products and bases. I do make most but honestly I would not have time to make so many things. There are some days that I need to get orders of 300 bathbombs out but your suggestion may help someone that’s doing a low quantity . Thanks for the suggestion
Nelson interior Soapery.. that was the idea as not everyone can afford to pay top dollar especially just making them for yourself. Congats with your business you products look beautiful...best wishes
@@pamelahoberg1800 thank you. Some watchers will love your ideas I’m sure. Have an amazing day 💕
May I know, what’s the ingredients used to make the base?
I buy a premixed base and the manufacturers don’t tell us that
Can I use this with my HVAC system home diffuser?
Honestly I’m not sure. I’ve not heard of this system before
It's goes inside the central unit and it disperses it all through the vents. It makes the house smell good.
@@brendadeleon9791 oh I’ve never heard of that. That’s so interesting
You should try buying one.
What is the name of the company that you ordered your boxes from?
Here’s the link biancoau.com/?gclid=Cj0KCQiAzfuNBhCGARIsAD1nu-9EGi2mxcGcbJQVpMzZWXdZKHA0A6fO1CvosaE_F-PXYNxZWOBFCu4aAuJEEALw_wcB
Hi Rhonda! Do you ever get a request for a refill fragrance bottle of a diffuser they purchased from you? Or do they just reorder the whole set? I haven’t opened my business yet and this question just popped in my mind. Hope you had a lovely Christmas!
I’ve not had that. I don’t refill as it’s a insurance risk. You don’t know how or where the customer stores products, how the jar is looked after so I suggest re selling a new one each time.
Hello there! I made my first diffuser with sweet almond oil and it doesn’t smell at all.. I did 25/75. Could anybody help me please?
I used the oil just because the base is a bit expensive.
You cannot use oil at all as it clogs the wick.
@@NelsonInteriorSoapery thank you. But there are many tutorials with oils. They say it’s ok to use sweet almond oil or sunflower oil… I’m confused
@@christinek6288 in my opinion it does not work. If you look at all the professional bases they are are an alcohol base with ingredients . The reed sticks are a wood or fibre stick and the oil and fragrances cannot be absorbed freely through them. I’ve honestly had no sucess with oils
@@NelsonInteriorSoapery thank you very much for your respond! Now I see…
Hello, I tried to make this diffuser yesterday but it’s does not smell out. I don’t know if it’s the oil I use or the ratio. Can you please tell me what is the ratio of your mixture? And what fragrance do you use, is it essential oils?
You need to use 25% fragrance and 75% base.
The base I use is www.purecandlesupplies.com.au/products/luxe-reed-diffuser-base?_pos=1&_sid=1918ce31e&_ss=r
Essential oils are no good for this either
Also it’s not oil but a made base from a supplier
@@NelsonInteriorSoapery thanks for your response. To be sure I got you correctly, you don’t use essential oils for your diffusers? Also I do I measure 75%? Or 25%. I still don’t know how I tell this is 75% or 25% of my total mixture
@@uchechukwuekeh2285 hi there.
It’s 25% fragrance oil
75% diffuser base
There’s many bases in the market so try one that is less chemical smelling . You might need to try many as they are all different .
But your fragrance you use, is it essential oil?
@@uchechukwuekeh2285 no. I buy a high end fragrance that has essential oil in it but essential oil will not hold the scent as well as fragrance
Is the diffuser base just called "diffuser base"? 🙏❤
Yes it is . There’s usually 2 . Ones standard and the other is a premium base and the premium holds the scent better. www.eroma.com.au/standard-reed-diffuser-base/?m=grouped&gclid=CjwKCAjw0qOIBhBhEiwAyvVcfxTVAneeWXEq_1vjk9dcuR20lTAy5dKfY10hXmIBzPUd1JQsLE_SixoC9O0QAvD_BwE
What is the size of your diffuser jar? im trying to order that size for my company but i dont know the size.
That one is 209ml
@@NelsonInteriorSoapery thank you so much. You just saved me from a lot of head ache.
That's about 7oz right?
@@LaParisCandles no problem .
It’s 7.067 oz
Please can I blend Sandalwood fragrance oil with jasmine fragrance oil to create my signature blend what do u think
You can try anything at all. Do a test one and see your thoughts. I would do only 30% sandalwood as it may overpower jasmin
What did you use for the base?
I use a base from pure candle supplies it’s $21 for a little
Is the base a perfumers base? Just need to know so I can try to use it. I'm willing to buy from you.
@@brendadeleon9791 it’s a diffuser base and here’s the ingredients list 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolan-4-ylmethanol
They said it’s a premium base

Which ones do you mean. I use clear, white and vinyl so depends on we hitch ones you like
