This DIY Essential Oil Necklace is one of my all-time favorite projects!  Not only was it fun to make, but the benefits of wearing aromatherapy jewelry are out of this world.

It looks great with so many outfits.  Where it to work or yoga!  I use mine mainly for relaxation and stress relieving essential oils.  You simply must try this!  You’ll want to make one for everyone you know.

Here’s how you can make a batch of these in no time at all!

How to Make Your Own Essential Oil Necklace

• Let’s get started by grabbing a handful of clay and adding a little water to make it moist as you roll it into a ball.  Kinda messy, but fun.
• Plop it down on a wood cutting board {used for crafts} and roll it out flat with a wooden rolling pin.  Make it pretty close to the thickness that you want because it doesn’t shrink much as it dries.

• Take a bottle cap and use it to cut out circles.  I tried two slightly different sizes.  Then remove the excess clay.
• Use these fabulous stamps to add a little something special!  Push down firmly as evenly as possible to get a clean imprint.  I love how these stamps match the style of jewelry I’m making.
• You can wipe the edges with water to make them as smooth as you like.
• Let them dry.  You can follow the directions on the packaging, but I let mine sit overnight due to having to make dinner…ha!

• Cut the hemp cord to length {I made these long} and tie on the clay charm.

• Then slide one of these beautiful Lava beads over both strands of cord and tie another knot.

Let me just take a moment to talk about these beads!  They are Lava Beads and perfect for any of your aromatherapy jewelry making fun.  You can apply oil right to the bead.  They are pretty cheap and you get a whole strand.  This isn’t the last project you’ll see with these beads.  They rock! {You’ll find a link directly to them in the supply list above.}

That’s it!  Now, you have to try one out!

Add a few drops of your favorite essential oils! You can mix them or just use one.

There are essential oils that will help you relax or handle stress better.  There are oils to help you focus and energize you.  They really do work! You can even add oils to help with headaches! A couple drops and you’ll be ready to try another oil…ha!

These would make great gifts, and you can dress them up with whatever color beads you’d like.  These colors just seemed so relaxing to me I had to use them.

Easy Peasy, right?!  Make a bunch and spread the handmade goodness!

I have a beautiful bracelet tutorial coming soon!

I hope you’ll try this!
