I have never made pot pourri before and was worried it was going to be complicated and I would need a lot of stuff but actually it was easy and I didn't.
The lavender was already dried but again you could just bring it in from outside and hang it up to dry.
Pop your dried rose petals in a bowl. Add 1/2 a cup of lavender to a cup or rose petals and 2 tablespoons of orris root powder. Orris root is a natural fixative and will help preserve the flower fragrance.
Add 8-10 drops of oil.
Put the mixture in a glass jar and store for a good few days for the fragrance to really permeate, . Give it a good shake every day.
Display in an open top bowl and if you like add extra visual appeal with pinecones, twigs, lovely leaves and so on.

thats sounds lovely, and yes easier than I would have thought. Love lavender and this would make a nice present in a pretty bowl.
This is truly ingenious, I have never thought about making my own Pot Pourri either as I really do not have a DIY bone in my body but this looks gorgoeous and I want to give it a try.
