If you ask anybody who has been to my home, then you will know that I love decorative potpourri balls.
They are everywhere in my house. I’ve bought many and made a few.
This diy decorative potpourri ball is very easy to make.
For the cost of them in the store a diy decorative ball comes out much cheaper and you can make several of them with the supplies you buy.
I have a few more types of decorative balls that I’m going to add to my collection.
I have these decorative balls displayed in bowls, on shelves, and even on top of tall candlestick holders.
The bonus is that it smells great! Enjoy!
