Festive Pot Pourri! These are perfect dotted around the house in decorative bowls, bringing a lovely, festive aroma to the space; I even fill a large, old fashioned cauldron in our fire place (no fires in Oz at Christmas of course!)
Simply fill into one of our large sized Cello Bags for gifting or selling over the holidays.
Choose from our wide range of Festive Fragrances to scent the pot pourri to your liking. Alternatively, try a fresh, zingy fragrance such as Energy Fragrance, to bring a summery citrus blast to the arrangement.
You'll need:
-
Small to medium Pine Cones
-
Assorted Botanicals - minicones, dried flowers (I love Jasmine flowers) - really anything that looks interesting that you come across. You can collect these from your own garden too over the year
-
Gold Spray Paint - craft or hardware store
-
Printed Cello Bags for gifting or selling
What to do
-
Cover work surfaces with newspaper and if possible, work outside, out of the wind
-
Place larger pine cones on paper, give them a quick spray with the gold paint and allow to dry
-
In a large bowl, mix the rest of the dried botanicals and add a good "whack" of fragrance - I personally like around 20ml per 2 litre measure
-
I then drip a few drops of fragrance on each of the larger pine cones
-
Allow to sit in the shade overnight to dry and settle
-
Packing for a gift? Pour the smaller botanicals into the bag and nestle 3 larger, golden cones in the top. Pop in a small bottle of your chosen scent, secure the bag a with twist tie and label!
