DIY Holiday Potpourri with Holiday Love Essential Oil Blend

One of the best parts of the holidays is the aroma of your favourite holidays treats, freshly fallen snow, pine trees—and of course, essential oils. Bring the essence of the holidays in your home with your own homemade potpourri featuring Holiday Love essential oil blend.

You can personalize your potpourri by using a mix of your favourite festive ingredients. Repurpose the week-old bouquet of flowers you received from a loved one, or go on a nature walk to collect pinecones, seed pods, and sticks. You can also be resourceful with items you already have on hand or check out your local craft store and get creative. With the sweet, woody aroma of Holiday Love and customizable ingredients, you can turn any room into a holiday wonderland that perfectly suits your style.

Supplies

• Holiday Love essential oil blend
• Your choice of the following:
  • Pinecones (store bought or from your backyard)
  • Slices of citrus fruits (oranges or lemons)
  • Fresh spices (cinnamon sticks or whole cloves)
  • Whole nuts (chestnuts or walnuts)
  • Seed pods
  • Flowers
  • Small sticks
• Baking sheet
• Parchment paper
• Glass spray bottle of water
• Decorative holiday bowl

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 93° C
2. Gather the desired ingredients for your potpourri mix. Cut off the stems of flowers, slice the citrus fruits, and clean off pinecones (if collected from nature). Place everything in a single layer on a parchment lined baking sheet.
3. Add 10-15 drops of Holiday Love essential oil blend to a glass spray bottle with water and spritz on the potpourri ingredients before putting them in the oven.
4. Place in the oven for at least two hours, checking regularly until flowers and other ingredients are dry and brittle, but not burnt.
5. When the potpourri is ready, remove from the oven and give another spritz of essential oil while still warm. Set aside and allow to cool completely.
6. Once cooled, gently mix the potpourri and place in a decorative holiday bowl.
7. Place in common areas in your home or in the bathroom and enjoy the scents of the seasons with your homemade potpourri. To refresh the scent, simply spritz with more essential oil.

Spreading holiday cheer is as simple as this DIY potpourri. Because it’s so customizable, you can mix and match ingredients and create a personalized gift for all your friends and family. Be sure to keep some for yourself so you can enjoy the spicy, resinous aroma of Holiday Love essential oil blend in any room in your home.
