If you love the smell of a fresh Christmas tree, but like the convenience of an artificial tree, here is a solution for you. You can make ornaments to hang on the tree filled with Pine Scented potpourri or homemade potpourri sprinkled with Pine Essential oil to give your artificial tree a more welcoming and homely appeal for your family and guests.
Materials Required:
Clear Glass ball ornaments with removable tops
Potpourri of your choice - A blend containing red, white and green in line with the traditional colors of Christmas are a popular choice.
Small lengths of edging lace
Floral wire - thin
Ribbon for bow and hanging - Satin or velvet.
Hot Glue Gun or quick set glue
Small artificial or dried Flowers - one for each ornament.
Instructions:
1. Remove the metal top and hook from the ornaments.
2. Fill each ball about one third full with potpourri.
Note: Add more Pine Essential oil to the mixture if you feel the scent of your store bought potpourri is not strong enough
3. Attach hook back to top with a drop of glue - using glue gun or quick set glue
4. Thread a piece of thin floral wire through each piece of lace gathering the lace onto the wire as you thread it.
5. Attach lace with a drop of glue to the top of the glass ornaments.
6. Make a small ribbon bow and ribbon hanger and attach to the top of each ornament with glue.
7. Glue a small artificial or dried flower to cover the center where the bow and hanger join.
Your potpourri Christmas ornaments are now ready for hanging on the tree.
