Another fun holiday DIY coming your way today! This one is a really, easy, cost-friendly way to make your home instantly start smelling like the holidays! No diffuser, essential oil, or fancy candle required. I’m also making this SUPER easy to repackage and gift to friends, family, neighbors, etc. in a fun porch drop-off!

In fact, you probably already have most of these ingredients lying around your pantry already. The fun part about this is it’s also easily customizable! Add in our sub things like:

• whole star anise

• whole cloves

• fresh grated nutmeg

• vanilla beans

• almond extract

• sliced pears

• a dash of red wine

To gift, simply place all whole, dry ingredients in a large mason jar, attach the below downloadable instructions, and let your friends and family have fun putting their own potpourri pot together!
