If you’re looking for a creative activity that combines the beauty of dried flowers with the art of scent creation, this diffuser making class in Bali is worth considering. Offered by Summerinbalitour in Canggu, it promises a hands-on experience where you’ll craft your own signature diffuser. Whether you’re traveling solo, as a couple, or with family, this class aims to add a touch of elegance and personal flair to your Bali visit.
We particularly love that this experience is kid-friendly, making it accessible for families with children over 8 years old. The highlight is the Japanese herbarium technique, which elevates the usual diffuser DIY into a refined form of interior art. One possible consideration is that the activity lasts only about an hour, so those expecting a lengthy workshop might want to allocate extra time for exploring Canggu afterward. This class suits travelers seeking a creative, relaxing activity that offers a meaningful souvenir to take home.

An In-Depth Look at the Diffuser Making Class Experience
This one-hour class offers more than just a craft project; it’s an engaging journey into the Japanese art of herbarium creation. Set in Bali’s vibrant Canggu area, the experience is designed to be accessible, educational, and fun for all ages (kids 8 and up). The class begins with a warm welcome and a brief introduction to the ingredients and the process. You’ll learn how dried flowers and fragrance oils come together to produce a beautiful, aromatic diffuser that doubles as decor.
The main attraction is the herbarium technique, a traditional Japanese craft that involves carefully arranging dried flowers to create a balanced, aesthetic composition. As you assemble your diffuser, you’ll be guided step-by-step by an instructor with extensive experience, ensuring even novices can produce a professional-looking result. The size of the finished diffuser is 100ml, topped with four reed sticks, making it a perfect, portable gift or elegant home accessory.

What You Will Create and Take Home
You’ll craft your own signature scent by choosing from a selection of fragrance oils, which you’ll then mix with the diffuser base. The dried flowers, carefully arranged, add visual appeal and enhance the aroma. The process is designed to be relaxing and enjoyable, with a focus on personalization — ideal for those who enjoy customizing their living space with unique items.
The Environment and Setting
The class is hosted at a location where you’ll find a calm, inspiring setting conducive to creativity. The instructor provides clear guidance, helping you learn the craft without feeling overwhelmed. The materials are all included in the price, so you can focus solely on the process. Once finished, you’ll leave with your own 100ml diffuser—a lovely reminder of your Bali trip and a functional decor piece.
Why This Tour Stands Out
Unlike many typical Bali activities, this diffuser class offers a blend of Japanese artistry and aromatic craftsmanship. It’s a chance to learn a new skill in a beautiful setting, which makes it more memorable than just sightseeing. The family-friendly aspect also makes it a rare find among Bali activities, which often cater more to solo travelers or couples.
The price point of $56 per person strikes a balance between a quality, guided experience and affordability. For this fee, you receive a step-by-step tutorial, all necessary ingredients, and a unique handcrafted diffuser. Travelers who appreciate small-group, private experiences will find this class satisfying, especially since the activity ends back at your starting point—no complicated transfers needed.
