84 Potpourri Recipes

by Jen (April 11, 2008)

Making your own porpourri can be fun, and it gives you a chance to make something that’s more to your taste than what you find in stores. Once it’s made, you can put it in a sachet and scent a closet or drawer, or just put it in a bowl to scent a room (simmer it for an extra burst of fragrance).

First of all, read what you need to know to make good potpourri. You can mix any ingredients you want, or just stick to one to be absolutely sure it’ll smell wonderful. Or you can try some online recipes:
