How to Make Scented Oils for a Wood Stove

A wood stove does more than keep your home warm. In fact, it allows you to add aromatic essences to your home environment. Wood stove oil burners sit atop your heating stove, making use of the warmth to push aroma into the air. You can create your own oils for warming atop the wood stove, using minimal materials and a world of creativity.

4 ounce dish
1 ounce mineral oil
1/2 ounce coconut carrier oil
1/2 ounce essential oil blend
Disposable stirring wand
4 ounce vial

Instructions

  Add the mineral oil to the 4 ounce dish. Mineral oil can be found in department stores and pharmacies and is used to make lamp oils and aromatic diffusers among other products.

  Stir in the coconut carrier oil. This oil can be found in grocery stores and craft and hobby supply stores. It thins out the thick mineral oil and helps carry scents.

  Create a blend of essential or fragrant oil equaling 1/2 ounce. You can make a blend of any type of fragrance that suits your needs. This is what makes this craft a long-lasting hobby. For example, 1/4 ounce each of vanilla and mint creates a fun and invigorating scent. Create different blends to suit your scent preferences.
