Potpourri container
In order for it to look beautiful, the selection of shapes and motifs for potpourri containers also needs attention. If you want to use a jar or bowl, you should choose one made of glass or ceramic so that the aroma is more preserved. Avoid using plastic containers, as the scent on plastic is difficult to remove
Drying process
Dry the potpourri ingredients in the room in a clean tray, also making sure they don't pile up on each other. The drying process takes a long time to dry completely (about 2 weeks) so that the aroma is maintained. Avoid drying the ingredients in direct sunlight, as this will make the potpourri ingredients too dry
Setup process
Once the ingredients have dried completely, it's time to transfer them to the container. Arrange neatly according to color or type of material to make it look more beautiful and attractive
Dropping essential oils
Since it has been dried, the aroma of the potpourri ingredients is usually not very strong. Therefore, pour a few drops of essential oil on top of these ingredients. The blend of aroma essential oils and natural ingredients in potpourri will last longer and become stronger
How to make
Place in a decorative container or bowl, dried flowers such as rose, jasmine (or your favorite flower), lemon slices, spices like cinnamon or cloves according to your taste. Then pour 10-15 drops of essential oil in the decorative bowl
Put the potpourri
Place it in the living room, corner of the bathroom or kitchen in your house, to help repel insects or pests (potpourri has a strong aroma for about 2 months)
