Christmas Potpourri Step #5: Printable Gift Tags
To make your Christmas potpourri in a jar even more special, I’ve created a beautiful free printable tag that you can attach to your potpourri gifts!
If the scent of your potpourri begins to fade over time, don’t worry there’s an easy fix! Reviving the fragrance is as simple as adding a few drops of essential oil to the potpourri mix. Choose oils like cinnamon, orange, or clove to complement the existing scents.
Absolutely! It’s a fantastic way to reuse your potpourri ingredients and enjoy their fragrances for an extended period, ensuring that the holiday spirit lingers in your home long after the jar is empty.
I believe that if you fill your home with things you love, love will fill your home.
