I am so excited that you’re here today!
I’m joining 30 friends sharing handmade ornament ideas!!
I love giving something homemade for the Holidays.
I created this simple ornament diffuser. No special tools necessary!
You’ll need:
Wood slices
Mini trees
Clothespins
Glue
Twine
Essential oil (I used Christmas Spirit).
First, a painted one side of the clothespin. I wanted them white (this is optional or you can buy a colored pin).
When that’s dry I tied on some off-white twine.
I glued the mini tree to the wood slice and then glued that to the end of the clothespin.
Add a few drops of your favorite holiday scented oil to the wood and you’re done!
These would also make a cute gift topper with a bottle of your favorite oil!
We have an artificial tree so anything that makes the house smell like a real tree I’m up for! Do you need oils? I can help! You can order them here.

This is such a great idea, Susan! I love how you incorporated essential oils into your ornament. So smart! Thanks for being a part of this year’s handmade ornament hop.
Hi Susan, you’ve created such a cute ornament.
I absolutely love the idea of attaching it to a wooden clothes pin. The pin adds a perfect touch of additional rustic charm to the entire project.
Just lovely.
Happy day to you.
I love the idea of having a lovely aroma emanating from an artificial Christmas tree, Susan. Your little clip is so cute! And it inspires so many possibilities for gluing miniatures on a tiny wood slice for quick and easy Christmas ornaments.
So glad you joined us for the blog hop!!
Hi Susan,
What a great idea. I love those mini trees and how great is it to use the wood to diffuse a beautiful fragrance. I love the smell of pine but we’ve been using an artificial tree the last few years due to time and money. This would be a great way to bring the scent to the tree.
Pine is actually one of my favorite oils!
I can only imagine how good this smells! Using a clothes pin as an ornament hanger is a good idea. I really like the look of this ornament!
I love the simplicity and effect of your Christmas ornament. I can imagine a whole tree filled with your handmade diffusr ornaments. Lovin’ your creativity. Thanks for sharing.
I can almost smell the oils :) What a great idea and it’s gorgeous!
Thank you Kristin! I hope you are well!
What a wonderful idea, Susan! Absolutely charming.
The clothespin is a great idea and I bet it smells wonderful!
This is so clever, I have several friends who would love this!
What a great idea. And it’s so easy to make! Genius. It’s adorable, too. I’ll be making this one, for sure. Thanks so much for sharing. Love your blog! Susie from The Chelsea Project
what a smart idea…especially if you have a fake tree and want to amp up the holiday smells!
Thank you! Yes, we definitely miss the real tree smell and this is a good fix!
So cute & I bet it smells amazing!
What a fabulous ornament! I bet it smells as wonderful as it looks!
Thank you! It does smell amazing!
Your tree is going to smell amazing Such a great idea.
So cute! I love those mini little trees! And the clothes pin idea is just genius!
What an original idea Susan. I love using oils and this is such a neat way to add a lovely scent at Christmas.
Such a great idea!
That’s so clever! Perfect for my fake tree! :)
Okay, this is brilliant. What a great way to add a bit of that wonderful Christmasy scent–not just hanging on a tree, but anywhere you want it! And it looks adorable, too! Thank you for a great idea.
We have an artificial tree too, and I love this ornament that smells fresh like a real tree!
I am just getting into these oils and learning how to use them! What a great idea! I will have to try this!
So easy and you could use in your car too!
Such a clever idea, Susan! Christmas Spirit has been my favorite EO for three years now…I can’t get enough of it.
What a great idea — combining an ornament and diffuser in one! Love it.
