Potpourri basket

Difficulty: Average

Parental supervision is recommended

Give someone special this sweet smelling Potpourri basket. This is a fun craft for kids and makes a great gift whether you're giving or receiving it. It's a good Mothers Day present in particular.

What you'll need:

  • Rose petals (or petals from any other flower that smells really nice)
  • Salt
  • Whole cloves
  • Small wicker basket
  • Cellophane paper (optional)

How to make it:

  1. Put the petals in a large bowl.
  2. Sprinkle some salt on the petals and stir gently.
  3. Sprinkle a handful of cloves and stir gently again.
  4. Carefully put the petals in the basket and wrap in cellophane.
  5. Tell your mom (or whoever else you give a potpourri to ) to stir the petals around each day and to add new petals every once in awhile, to keep the smell fresh!
