theherd123 Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 Over the last few weeks i have been collecting 'goodies' from the woods just across from our home where we walk the bears and they will be made into potpourri for Christmas. I was just wondering how you get the scent to stay with the ingredients? I have read that ottis root (?) can be used but not too sure how this works - can anyone help?

Snowy Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 Sounds good Emma! It's Orris root. I made some years ago and used orris root. Didn't work Probably something I did wrong though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 What 'goodies' have you been picking Em? I have seen lots of rosehips in the hedgerows, are they are good for Pot Pourri? See you Friday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theherd123 Posted August 28, 2007 Author Share Posted August 28, 2007 I have gathered some very small pine cones and some beech tree seed shells up to now Christian but im keeping my eye out for other stuff too I will dry some oranges and chilli pods nearer the time and try my hand at pot pourri. Will get cinnamon sticks to for a real Christmas smell. Looking forward to seeing you too! Anything planned yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
