Homemade Potpourri Blends

Bring Nature Indoors

Basic Instructions

The following recipes for potpourri blends was sent to me, I hope you enjoy them and the aromatherapy benefits - not to mention how welcoming your home will become to your friends and family.  The recipes contain instructions and amounts for different types of blossoms, etc. used. For example, there are different amounts used depending on whether you're using whole leaves, powders, pods, etc. Stock up on some neat containers, antique or glass jars, little pails, lace pillows, etc. - potpourri gifts are great to give to someone special as a gift.

Measure out all dry ingredients and blend by hand in large non-metallic bowl or paper grocery bag. With a pipette, gradually add fragrance oil to potpourri. We suggest about 1/4 to 1/2 fl oz per 16 cups potpourri (approx. 1 gallon), depending on strength of oil. You can scent such fixatives as orris root, calamus root and cellulose fiber seperately and blend with dry ingredients later. Dyed potpourri items should be blended after potpourri is scented to prevent color from bleeding. Fixatives such as oak moss, orris root, calamus root, cellulose, citrus peels and spices help absorb,preserve and release the fragrance of your blend. After blending and scenting potpourri, fill wide-mouth jars or non-metallic containers 3/4 full, cover tightly and store in cool dark place. Check fragrance after several days and add more scent if desired. Cure for 2 to 6 weeks.

Don't be too concerned with the fancy names of essential oil blends, different companies give different appealing names to their scents, so get as close as you can to the name of the flower/herbal ingredient and go from there.  And don't forget to experiment with different scents and oils. You can find hundreds of places on the web for aromatherapy supplies, dried blossoms and herbs, as well as jars, oils and scented wax chips to add to your simmering potpourri blends. And don't forget that you can add these oils and blossoms to your handmade soaps - visit the recipes for soaps before you leave.

Remember you can create scented wreaths and scented herbal pillows for sweet dreams, I recommend lavender for the sleep pillows. You can add just about any herb to these blends for aromatherapy benefits.  Visit our aromatherapy pages for information on the aromatherapy properties of certain herbs. You don't want to use an herb that is stimulating in your herbal sleep pillows, do you?
