Description
Potpourri is a very innovative way to keep your home smelling fresh.
This versatile ceramic holder is originally designed to hold a candle. However, we found that using it as a potpourri holder works very well. You can simply buy dried potpourri in a home retail store, or you could make it yourself.
Combine one cup of dried rose petals, one half cup of dried lavender, and one quarter cup of dried rosemary. Add one eighth teaspoon of ground cloves and cinnamon, plus dried rosebuds and orange peels. The add a few drops of rose or lavender oil. One quarter teaspoon of fixative like crushed orris root is advisable, but can be left out if you don’t have.
How do you keep potpourri smelling fresh?
Use Vodka to help keep scents longer. Vodka is known to dissolve out any other fragrance for you to smell. Remove dust from your potpourri if you want to keep it smelling fresh- put the potpourri in a sealable bag, then make holes on the side and shake.
