Make Your House Smell Amazing with Heavily Scented Potpourri

Learn how to make heavily-scented potpourri that lasts a while!  And, this fall-themed potpourri is absolutely beautiful.  Potpourri is used to scent a room but it can also be used as a decorative element.  If you don’t have anything to scent, you can purchase cheap bags of potpourri and make it your own.  You can also forage things from right outside to use, too; like pine cones, round seeds, and other “woodsy” items.  I’m going for a rustic, fall vibe so I’ll be using dried fruit & flowers as well.  If you plan on using dried items, you’ll need to dry out items prior to making potpourri.  Use a dehydrator or your oven (temperatures & times depend on your oven/dehydrator).  For flowers, you can simply hang them upside down for a few weeks.  There are different ways to make potpourri; 1 basic rule is after applying the oil (in which ever method you choose), rub it in so that it evenly coats the item.  A fixative absorbs & retains the fragrance; effectively reducing the evaporation rate of the scents.  Some fixatives you may use are orris root powder, oak moss, cellulose, ground gum benzoin, or fiberfix. You can implement orris root powder in a few different ways: scent the orris root powder & let it cure to soak up the fragrance in a sealed container for 1 week.  Coat items with orris root & scent them, then cure items in a sealed container for 1 week.  I applied the orris root powder to any item that has cracks or crevices where it can get in.  Then sprayed fragrance oil on top the powder.  For flowers or petals, be gentle & go light on the fragrance.  Go light on the fragrance for dried fruit, too.  ** Do not leave any item soaking wet or on the wet surface you’ve been working on.  Once everything is scented, let the potpourri cure in a sealed container for about 12 hours to soak in the oil.  After, it will be dry to the touch & heavily-scented. ** Do not assemble potpourri if it is still wet.  ***NOTE: Some sites recommend sealing prepared potpourri in an airtight container for one month before use.  This is your choice.  I did not do this.  Assemble the potpourri however you want.  You can dump some in a container & see what happens or you can put potpourri together like a puzzle & basically just put things where they fit best (snuggle items close to get more in the bowl).  For best results, use a shallow bowl so the potpourri can breathe.   Don’t put it in a plastic container; it will ruin the plastic container.  Put the potpourri anywhere to brighten up a room & add a lovely scent.  Keep in mind, the potpourri works better in smaller areas, like a bathroom. The scent of potpourri will last anywhere from 2 months to a year.  Just know that the scent throw/strength will diminish over time.  Use the spray to revive it!  Keep it out of direct sunlight and breezes, it will last longer.
