How To Make A Himalayan Salt Essential Oil Diffuser

We have all seen the Himalayan rock salt lamps, but have you seen the diffusers? The salt is absorbent and therefore the perfect carrier for essential oils or fragrant oils to scent your home. Rock salt has become available in smaller pieces as a home decoration items, such a small rock salt stones and rock salt chips.

So what is so good about Himalayan pink rock salt? Himalayan pink salt lamps are thought to purify the air because of their hygroscopic properties so placing salt rocks into a bowl will have the same effect. If you have owned a Lamp you will know that they draw moisture from the air and hence why they need to be turned on all the time to evaporate that moisture otherwise your rock sits in a puddle of water. So when making these rock salt diffusers some things to consider are,

Is your homemade rock salt diffuser container waterproof? Can it hold water without leaking? Is it oil proof? I added some oil to one of my boxes onto the top of my Rock salt, and it started to seep through and onto my benchtop. Fragrance oils and Essential oils can be quite corrosive so take that into consideration also when selecting the container you will use. Perhaps placing a coaster or solid board underneath may help.

Where is pink rock salt from? Himalayan salt is rock salt (halite) mined from the Punjab region of Pakistan and is a popular crystal like item used to decorate the home. I like to refer to it as a poor man’s faux rose quartz crystal. Large lamps make for wonderful natural elements in your home.

Natalka Studio is an Etsy shop based in Ukraine with a wide variety of cross stitch designs, including realistic, detailed designs with women doing various things, holiday patterns, geometrics and more.

One of the biggest categories in the shop is called girl cross stitch, which features detailed designs of women with flowing hair doing things like drinking coffee, dancing and carrying flowers. There are seasonal projects in this category as well as a couple having to do with hobbies.

I like the knitting one, of course, and almost shared the sewing one as the featured pattern above until I realized the thread is coming off a cone on the floor and there’s no pedal for running the machine.

The one I am sharing here isn’t actually in that category but it is really cute. Little Girl with Watermelon uses 21 colors and measures 73 by 73 stitches. That’s 5.21 inches or 13.3 cm square if you work it on 14 count fabric. I love her messy hair and the little dress and matching bows. You could also change the colors if you have a little girl who isn’t as into pink (or doesn’t have brown hair).

The largest category on the page is animals, and there you will find wild animals like monkeys, pandas and sloths; ocean creatures such as rays, an octopus and a blue tang fish; frogs, dogs and geese, among others.

There are also a lot of Christmas cross stitch patterns, which include a lot of traditional motifs and some more whimsical themes. I like this one of Santa resting by the fire with his boots off.

In addition to all these you’ll find pretty flowers, a bunch of mostly floral bookmarks, a whole big set of patterns with lemons, and a lot more. The fruits and berries section (if you like fruits other than lemons) would be perfect for decorating your kitchen or breakfast area.

Check out all the great patterns they have to offer at Natalka Studio on Etsy.
