Make a beautiful scented silk flower arrangement as a gift, or to match the decor in your home. This arrangement can also be made as a centerpiece for any holiday.
Supplies:
- Silk flowers in your choice of colors
- Scissors
- Ribbon to match the florals
- Clear vase
- Bag of potpourri
- Bottle of scented oil that is the same or similar scent of the potpourri
- Floral wire
Directions: Fill your vase with potpourri. Add flowers to the vase until it makes a full, eye-pleasing bouquet. The potpourri also helps to keep the stems of the flowers secure. If you want your scent stronger, add a few drops of scented oil to the potpourri, and to the center of each flower. Make a bow from your ribbon, then place the bow in the center of the arrangement. When you notice the scent fading, add a few drops of oil to refresh the scent of the potpourri.
Decorating options:
- Fill the vase with an apple and cinnamon potpourri, then mix fruit picks and flowers together for the arrangement. Add a raffia bow. This arrangement adds charm to a dinning room or kitchen.
- Fill the vase with a rose scent potpourri, silk roses, and a pink bow for a beautiful Valentine's arrangement.
- Fill the vase with a cinnamon or vanilla potpourri, and pine cones. Make your arrangement with faux poinsettias, evergreen, and berries. Add a plaid bow to the center of this arrangement.
It is endless the combinations of beautiful scented floral arrangements you can make from this one design. These arrangements are great for home, birthdays, weddings, or that someone special that is in the hospital.
Walmart on 863 Harvest Lane, in Williston, Vermont, is a great place to find florals. They sell bags of potpourri for $1, and bottles of scented oils that will match the potpourri scent. They also have a nice selection of clear vases.
