Forget boxes, try seashells for a DIY essential oil holder.

When it comes to storing essential oils, there are so many ways to do it. You can revamp an old medicine cabinet, turn a cubby into a strategically spaced storage bin, or customize your own with a few blocks of wood. Needless to say, creativity is endless.

So when we were gallivanting on the beach, and saw a ton of shells laying around, we had an "a-ha" moment. What if we make an essential holder out of a seashell? From that thought, today's post was born. 

Now, this isn't a storage box design, but rather a display design. It's perfect to keep your favorite essential oils in by your bedside. Think of a few oils you use daily, and opt to keep them inside. To us, it's a great way to store essential oils in a minimalist/design-forward way. 

Here's how to make the DIY Essential Oil Holder:

What You'll Need:

+ 1-2 Large Seashells (The more you use, the more storage you have!)

+ Craft Paint of Choice

+ Essential Oils For Storing (Ours is always go-to Lavender 100% Pure Essential Oil, 1/2 fl oz (15 mL) Dropper Bottle)

Simply just paint the shell however you'd like. Let it dry. Put some oils in and grab them whenever you need!
