Small packets of potpourri can
find a home in lingerie and sweater drawers, mixed in with linens,
in the folds of clothing inside suitcases, on coat hangers in the
closet, at the party table as favors... almost anywhere a fragrant
perfume is invited.
Potpourri bags used for linens
look good in crisp stripes and fresh colors. Those placed among
lingerie and delicate clothes can be made of satin, lace or silk.
Use readymade lace handkerchiefs for a quick, fragrant fix.
Basic Potpourri Bag
1.
Cut a strip of fabric, lace or ribbon 20" x 4". Fold the
strip in half wrong side out and seam the sides with fabric glue,
hot glue or use a needle and thread.
2.
Turn the bag right side out and tuck in the top. If the fabric
frays, run a line of fabric glue along the top edge before tucking
it inside.
3.
Fill with potpourri and tie a ribbon tightly around the neck, or
secure the top with glue and glue a tiny ribbon rose on the front
of the bag.
