DIY Potpourri from a Floral Bouquet

My husband gave me a beautiful bouquet for my anniversary. The flowers looked like the kind you find in the fancy potpourri mixes you find in stores.

I thought what a great spring mix they would make. I dried out the flowers in the oven and for a great citrus scent, I added dried oranges and lemons too! See my Oven Dried Flowers post for the details on how to make them and my Oven Dried Oranges and Lemons too.

Potpourri is super easy to make. You need dried items such as flowers petals, dried blooms, dried citrus slices, fruit slices, cinnamon sticks, pine cones, dried pods, moss, barks leaves, cloves, whole nutmeg and any other dried herb or spice items. You can add shells, wood, and nuts to the mix as well.

Essential Oil Citrus Potpourri Recipe

Dried flower tops
Dried orange slices
Dried lemon slices
10 drops of Sweet Orange oil
7 drops of Lemon oil
7 drops of Bergamot oil

Toss and blend the mix. Store in airtight container up to a week to infuse scent throughout blend. Add to a bowl to fragrance your home or bag it up to give as a gift. Refresh by adding more oils as the scent fades.
