Home Made Plug Ins2 Save Money By Making Your Own Scented Plug ins

We all like our home to smell pretty, but let’s face it: the plug-in type fragrances can get a little pricey. Luckily, I found a simple and inexpensive solution that The Krazy Coupon Lady posted!. DIY Plug-Ins!

What you need:

  • A plug-in of your choice (with an empty bulb).
  • An essential oil you like.
  • Water
  • A butter knife to pry off the cap on the plug-in bulb

Directions:

Step 1: Remove the cap from the plug-in bulb then clean it out with warm water.

Step 2: Put about 20 drops of your favorite essential oil into the plug-in bulb. I used the scent of cloves because it reminds me of the upcoming holiday season, and it was one of the essential oils I had hanging around. You may also like vanilla, lavender, orange, lemon or cinnamon.

Step 3: Pour water into the bulb, but leave some space so the water doesn’t overflow when you place the wick back in.

Step 4: Put the wick back in the bulb. Be sure it snaps back into to place.

Step 5: Plug that baby in, and enjoy your fragrant home!

I just ran across your tip and ironically, I tried this myself last week and didn't have much luck. I tried it with liquid potpourri. The wick expanded a lot and I didn't even notice any fragrance. There has got to be a way to do this and make it work. Maybe the oil is the key, I guess I will try that next. Thanks for posting this.

what an awesome idea, I can't wait to try it!!!

This sounds easy enough. I will definately try it. I wonder if it only works on the glass plug in refils or can I try it on the plastic glade ones. I'll find out soon enough! Thanks for the tip.

What a good idea. As much as I love to have these plugged in around the house, they are kind of costly to buy at the store and they never seem to last the whole month. Thanks for the great tip!

This is great, thanks for posting it! I am trying this as soon as I get home!!
