Every year when the holidays roll around, I try to find something fun and cheap that I can make for the holiday hostess, family, and friends. This year I’m making Homemade Holiday Potpourri.
When making these gifts all you have to do is buy the ingredients and place them in a bag a wah-la, you have a gift ready to give!
To make homemade holiday potpourri you just need a couple of fragrant ingredients!
Like in the image below. I sliced up some oranges, threw in some cranberries, and some fresh rosemary.
That’s not all, you can add other seasonal scents also, like cinnamon, cardamon, etc…
Once you have everything you want in the pan, you simmer it slowly. It will release a pleasant scent into the air, filling up your home with that holiday smell! Mm, smells good!
