COLORFUL, FRAGRANT POTPOURRI, ALWAYS MAKES A COZY HOME
Since I remember, my mother always had wonderful smelling potpourri around the house. Every month she would change the fragrance so the house would have a different inviting new smell! Sometimes it was a lovely gardenia scented potpourri and other times, lilac or merlot. Of course when I moved out and got my own home, this nice tradition became part of my life too! Now, all my children have moved out and I’m on my own. I needed to find a hobby to fill my empty days with and making something useful out of different looking and smelling potpourris, sounded like fun!
So, I sat down and brain stormed for a while and then I had an idea of making lovely fragrant potpourri balls made out of a sponge material. I started with digging out a 2 inch hole at the top of the sponge ball. Then I filled it with an essential oil for the sponge to absorb and boost up the aroma, before I covered it with colorful, fragrant potpourri. To finish it off I added a beautiful silk ribbon, so you could hang it, as either a lovely accent to your home or for giving a nice potpourri fragrance to all your clothes in your closet or drawers. I’m having a lot of fun plus I don’t have to worry about what to give for birthdays and Christmas’s anymore!
