Has your home lost its scent? Are you looking for a natural, fragrant way to make your home smell wonderful? Then look no further than Potpourri. Potpourri is an age-old method of scenting one’s home with natural ingredients that can be found in most kitchens or gardens.

Potpourri is an excellent way to make your home smell wonderful, but it can be tricky to make. The good news is that with a few simple supplies and some basic instructions, you can create potpourri that will last you for weeks!

Since it’s starting to get cold outside, here are a few fall stovetop potpourri recipes that will make your home feel extra warm and cozy. Thins can be made with orange and red apple slices, whole cloves, rosemary, and cinnamon sticks. You will also require a dehydrator. Simply combine everything in a pan, cover with water, and allow to simmer. Your house will smell fantastic. You can also package the mixture in a jar as a gift.

Here’s how to get started.

Choosing Your Ingredients

The sky is the limit when it comes to finding ingredients for your potpourri. The main components are flowers, herbs, and spices. You can choose any combination of these items that works for you and makes your home smell amazing. For instance, lavender is a great choice if you want a calming atmosphere, while rosemary will give off a more stimulating fragrance. Some other popular choices include cloves, cinnamon sticks, dried citrus peel, and vanilla beans.

Gather Your Supplies

To make your own potpourri, you’ll need the following materials: dried flowers, spices, essential oils of your choice, and a container to hold the finished product. You can find all of these items at most craft stores or online. You may also want to consider using dried fruit or herbs as well as dried flowers; just be sure they’re food-safe if you plan on using them in food recipes. To ensure the best scent outcome, select fragrances that complement each other and avoid overpowering scents like lavender or peppermint.

Creating Your Potpourri

Once you have gathered all of your ingredients, it’s time to get started! Begin by gathering petals from fresh flowers and drying them out either in the sun or in an oven at low temperatures. Once they are dry and crisp, combine them with any herbs or spices that you have chosen. If desired, add some essential oils as well—these will help to intensify the fragrance of your potpourri even further. If you want your potpourri mix to last longer than just a few days, add some fixatives such as gum benzoin or sandalwood powder as well; these help preserve the mix’s scent for months at a time!

Mix Your Ingredients

Once you have all of your ingredients gathered together, it’s time to mix them up! Start by combining 1/2 cup of dried flowers with 1 tablespoon of spices and 1 teaspoon of essential oils (or more depending on the strength of the fragrance). Mix all ingredients together until fully combined. If desired, you may also add a drop or two of food coloring to give it a unique color palette. Once everything is mixed together well, transfer the mixture into your chosen container.

Let It Sit

Now that your potpourri has been transferred into its container, it needs some time to soak in all those wonderful aromas! Cover the container loosely and set aside in a cool place away from direct sunlight for at least 24 hours so the scent has time to develop before enjoying its fragrance in your home. After 24 hours has passed, uncover the potpourri and enjoy! It should last several weeks before needing any additional mixing or refreshment.

Using Your Potpourri

Now that you have made your perfect potpourri mixture, now it’s time to put it into action! There are several different ways that you can use it around your home – from placing small bowls of the mixture around your house (making sure they are placed away from direct sunlight!) to using sachets filled with the mix inside closets and drawers. You can also purchase special containers specifically designed for displaying potpourri – these come in all shapes and sizes so there is sure to be one that fits perfectly with any décor!
