This is a tried and true craft that anyone can make.
To make your own pot pourri, you will need:
- Flowers – I used roses but other strong smelling flowers like lavender are great too
- Scented oils like peppermint (optional)
- Ceramic dish
- Paper towel
What to do:
Collect flowers and remove from stems.
For bigger flowers like roses you can peel the petals off in order to speed up drying process.
Line ceramic dish with paper towel and fill with flowers.
Leave to dry. Set aside in well-ventilated area. Toss flowers every few days to encourage all of the moisture to dry out. Repeat until all moisture is gone.
Add a few drops of essential oil if preferred. You can store your homemade pot pourri in a feminine dish for display, or pop in fabric bags and place in your draws or cupboards.
