Making Potpourri

[Natural]

I had this kind of project when I was in primary school. Now I wanted to do it again but I forgot how the procedure already. Can anyone help me make a potpourri please?

Basically all you need to do to make potpourri is to figure out what herbs and flowers you want in it. Gather about 4 times the amount you want to make because it shrinks when it dries, the best time to gather is in the morning after the dew evaporates. Dry the herbs and flowers for about 2 weeks then it is done!

You can also "cheat" and purchase the dried flowers and herbs that you want in your blend from a store or online. It might not be as fragrant as your own, but it works.

You can also purchase oils to refresh the potpourri. Just mix with some orris root, then put it all in a paper bag and let sit for a week or so, allowing the oils to penetrate everything. You will want to shake every so often.
