I love the smell of lavender and various herbs drying around the house. It is so soothing and calming. Not only do we get to enjoy lavender and other flowers and herbs when they are blooming but there are so many fabulous things to do with it after the blooms are gone.

Gathering and drying herbs and flowers is easy. In this post I want to share with you how you can make something lovely for your home and to give as a gift to friends and family members…they will love it!

Have you ever made potpourri from your garden? If you are growing flowers and herbs you might want to try this age-old craft. After all, it’s so easy to make and can be adapted to all kinds of preferences.

Make garden potpourri using flowers from your garden or a fading flower arrangement. It’s easy and a great way to extend the enjoyment of your flowers.

I made some potpourri and have really enjoyed it. I put my favorite essential oil in it, some herbs, dried flowers and some dried orange peels and it’s heavenly. I was so glad I ran across this tutorial, because I’d forgotten how much I love potpourri. It’s pretty pricey to buy and now we will all know how we can do this ourselves! I can’t think of anybody who doesn’t love a good smelling home!

Watch how this gal with Scribble makes her potpourri in this step by step tutorial so you can get busy drying your favorite flowers and herbs!

Since I lover experiments, I’ve alwaysnloved to create, paint, as well as cook and style food. I feel in love with DIY as soon as I discovered it and could not have been more excited when I learned I could share projects with people around the world. Taking photos is a passion of mine, as is design and painting with oils. I love holidays and celebrations, crafting cute little gifts and serving up at least one new recipe I am excited about.
