HOW TO HANG DIY ESSENTIAL OIL DIFFUSER ORNAMENTS
Option 1: Poke a small hole in the top with a skewer, or pencil, before baking, then put a string or ribbon through the hole to hang.
Option 2: Depending on the shape of the ornament, you can wrap string around it in an X shape. (Star shapes work well for this). Secure the string in the back and tie a small loop at the top to hang it with.

NOTES ABOUT DIY ESSENTIAL OIL DIFFUSER ORNAMENTS
Don’t worry about having every single essential oil in a blend…just use what you have and have fun making your own holiday combinations. Any of the following oils will create an aromatic holiday atmosphere:
Oils from evergreen trees such as spruce, cypress or fir. Any citrus oil, (like orange or lemon), and minty oils, (such as peppermint and spearmint) will all put you in the Christmas Spirit.
Warming winter baking spices always smell festive together. Use a combo of oils like cinnamon, clove, nutmeg and ginger.
