DIY Essential Oil Diffuser Necklace #theoilnation

I’m so excited about my husband’s latest project! We’ve been wanting of these essential oil diffuser necklaces for our Young Living Essential Oils, and I’ve seen them everywhere for about $20. However, we made one for less than $3.00! We recently went to Michael’s and bought some Sculpey clay (you bake this in the oven) for $2.97! With my 40% off coupon, that made it around $2.17 + tax! We already had the necklace cording, and we didn’t go to elaborate on the necklace itself. However, you can make yours as elaborate or as simple as you want!

Please know that we will go over all the things you can purchase to make this. However, we kept ours as inexpensive as possible!  As I said before, the Sculpey clay was around $2.17, but the cording cost around $6.97 at our local bead store.  It was slightly cheaper at our local craft store.  You can purchase cutting tools to make different shapes. You can also purchase molds (shown below) to make uniquely shaped necklaces.  Hubby actually used the bottom of an old film case to make ours round instead of purchasing any tools.

We used stamps we already had for the designs. I’m a reading teacher during the day, so I love anything with the alphabet! Hubby knows me well! You can often find stamps in the $1 bin at our local craft store as well! Once hubby cut out the round design with an exacto knife, he stamped them and then baked them in the oven.

Supplies: 

• either a cutting tool or clay cutter. You can also purchase cutters that look like cookie cutters.
• stamps for design
• Sculpey oven baked clay
• cording for the necklace
• Findings/clasp that is the correct size for the cording (This is optional. We tied a knot in ours!)
• decorative bead (optional)

Directions:

1. Cut your Sculpey clay to desired shape.

2. Use a pencil point, or some other option to make whole for the cording (make sure the hole is large enough!).

3. Stamp clay with desired decorative stamp.

4. Bake (instructions are on package). Ours took about 30 minutes.

5. Secure cording through necklace and attach bead (optional).

6. Secure findings/clasp at back of necklace (optional).

How To Buy Young Living Essential Oils

How to Sign-up:

1.  Sign-up for a Young Living account.

2.  Check the “Wholesale Member” option to ensure the lower prices.

3. Be sure the “sponsor ID” and “enroller id” say 1972233 (I have a freebie for you!!)

4. Decide on the starter kit you would like. The best value is the $150 because you get several extra 5ml. oils + a diffuser!

BONUS Step: (COMPLETELY Optional!)  If you would like to earn 2 bonus oils this month,  then get your order total up to 190 PV (different products have different point values).  You could get the Start Living With Everyday Oils kit and automatically have 100 point value… then you’ll just need 90 more points to get the bonus oils.  For example, you could grab an extra bottle of Thieves Oil at 33.75 points, 15 ml bottle of Lavender at 23.5 points, 15 ml bottle of Lime at 11 points, and the 14.4 ounces of Thieves Household Cleaner at 22 points (just pour one capful of the concentrated Thieves cleaning solution into a spray bottle and it lasts for a really long time!) All of those items will bring your total points up to $190.25 which will qualify you to get the two BONUS oils!  (This step is completely optional!)

Frequently Asked Questions:

Does signing up make me a “distributor”?

Nope! You are not required to sell anything at all to anyone. When you become a wholesale member, you get a special link that you can share with friends and get credit from their purchases, but there are no minimum sales amounts at all. In fact, 90% of the wholesale members in Young Living don’t do the business side at all. They are buying from Young Living because of the quality alone.

Am I required to make a minimum purchase each month?

There are absolutely NO minimum monthly purchase requirements. To remain a wholesale member, you have to make $50 worth of purchases per year to keep your membership. But if there’s a year that you don’t make a $50 purchase, you can reinstate your wholesale membership discount by just placing a $50 order.

If you do find yourself making regular purchases each month, then Young Living has a rewards program (called Essential Rewards) where you can make a nice percentage back in product credit each month on all of your purchases. So that’s a neat program to join if you find that you *want* to purchase regularly (but it’s not a requirement for being a wholesale member).

Why should I buy from Young Living instead of other essential oils companies?

It does seem like a new essential oils company pops up every day, doesn’t it?

I can’t speak to the quality of other companies, but I can say that Young Living was the only company in my research of essential oil companies that could answer all of my questions about purity in a way that was satisfactory to me.

Young Living was the only company that has their own farms (in the regions where the plants should be grown), could absolutely guarantee that no pesticides or herbicides were used in the growing of any of their oils (they use essential oils for pest control and they do all of the weeding by hand), has their own testing equipment (they do both in-house and 3rd party testing, and use many different testing methods not just GC/MS which only tests for certain chemicals, not whether those chemicals are synthetic or not), and only uses the first distillation of oils instead of adding chemicals to get more out of the plant.

Young Living also was the only company that was directly in charge of essential oil farming operations. Every other company I researched goes through some kind of an “oil broker” to buy their oils. They have to trust that the oil broker is telling the truth, who has to trust that the essential oil distilleries are telling the truth, who have to trust that the farmers are telling the truth about what they say they are doing.

With Young Living, you just have to trust one company instead of several.

I feel like it’s a trust step either way (anyone could be lying) but I felt the most comfortable trusting Young Living since they are a full-disclosure company. ANYONE can visit the farms, participate in the harvesting and distillation, view the Young Living labs, and see the entire process. That’s not an option with any other company.

Does Young Living only sell essential oils?

The answer to this one was suprising to me when I first got my starter kit! Young Living actually has an entire line of personal care products, supplements, meal replacements, energy drinks, and more! Almost every product incorporates essential oils (for example, frankincense is absolutely wonderful in facial products), but there’s a wide variety of products available.
