Stress less this summer by wearing these adorable DIY aromatherapy ice cream necklaces

It’s not summer without devouring an ice cream cone or two. There’s something about ice cream, whether you’re picking out a pint from the store or visiting a shop and grabbing a freshly made waffle cone, that’s always a tiny bit of a stress (and heat) reliever. If you find that ice cream is a little trip to the spa for you, then you’ll definitely want to try these actual aromatherapy ice cream necklaces.

These ice cream cone necklaces are equal parts relaxing and adorable. Making this jewelry will be craft therapy already, but once around your neck, you’ll realize just how calming they are. Just by adding a few drops of your favorite essential oils, you can get that ice cream therapy whereever you go (probably to the nearest ice cream parlor).

Watch the video below to find out how to make your own.
