Recycling Potpourri

Materials Needed:

• Reuse potpourri
• Foam balls or wreaths
• Craft Glue or Hot Glue Gun

 

Step-By-Step Instructions:

1. Separate your potpourri by size. For example you could make a wreath from sandalwood and rose potpourri, and separated the rosebuds from the sandalwood.
2. Doing small areas at a time, coat a portion of the foam with glue and then with smaller bits of potpourri.
3. Once the entire ball is covered with the small bits, arrange the larger pieces decoratively. If you are making a ball, you may choose not to add these larger bits.  If you are making a wreath, the larger pieces look best when they are around the bottom portion of the circle.
4. Decorate with satin ribbon, or leave plain. The balls are wonderful for lingerie drawers and both the balls and wreaths make excellant gifts.!

Tip: You could put ribbon and maybe a flower at one end and hanging it in a closet.

Is Recycling great or what ! Happy Crafting!
