Recycle old potpourri. Make potpourri balls or wreaths.
Don't throw away that old potpourri!
Give it a new heavenly scented life. A beautiful way to decorate your home, office, or give as unique gifts.
Potpourri Balls, or Wreaths
- Potpourri
- Craft Glue or hot glue gun
- Styrofoam Balls or Wreaths
- Scenting Oil
Make sure you have enough potpourri to cover your project completely.
Separate your potpourri by size, also put any dried flowers aside.
Doing a small area at a time, coat the Styrofoam with glue, and also the small bits of potpourri when gluing them on. Continue gluing in layers this way until the largest pieces are on top.
If you are making a wreath, you may want to cluster the flowers and largest pieces, or use them for edging. Decorate with ribbon.
Add your scent by putting several drops here and there all around your project. The more scent you use the stronger the aroma will be. You may want more scent on a Wreath that will hang on your wall, than a Potpourri Ball that is to go into a drawer for scenting your clothes.
You may add any scent you wish, and keep refreshing it every few weeks for a very long lasting fragrance.
When using the Potpourri Balls in closets, drawers, etc. You can use our Sandalwood, Cedar, or Patchouli Scent to deter Moths and Silverfish.
