Dry Dish or Basket Potpourri

You will be making this a few weeks ahead of time so that the scent can mellow and this gives the oils a chance to distribute evenly.

• 1 cup fresh or dried cedar sprigs
• 1 cup bay leaves (spray gold paint around edges of leaf)
• 2-4 dried orange slices
• 3/4 cup dried orange peel
• 3-5 small dried pomegranates (can be found at floral shops, gild with gold paint)
• 2 -3 Tablespoons orris root chips (found at florist shop or craft stores)
• 1/2 - 3/4 cup broken cinnamon sticks
• 25 pine cones, assorted sizes ( spray edges with gold paint)
• 5 Anise stars
• handful of dried rosehips
• any dried seed pods from garden
• 5 drops of cinnamon oil
• 4 drops bergamot oil
• 5 drops cedar or pine oil

Experiment with the scents of the oils. Use whatever you would like the aroma to be. There are many types and scents you can purchase, if you didn't make your own.

Mix this altogether and place in a large, sealed container and store for 2-3 weeks in a cool, dark place. Shake occasionally, gently.
