We will make a barrel of potpourri that has the aroma and feel of a Michigan upper peninsula woods. The recipe is one of the instructor's favorites and everyone will take home a bag of what we make. She will also give each student a packet of her favorite potpourri recipes she considers her treasures. Learn where to find all ingredients necessary (the outdoors, gardens, kitchen and the grocery store). Bring snug fitting medical exam gloves.

     This scented ball is made of twisted twigs to hang in the middle of the door arch. We will stuff this ornament full of moss, red New Hampshire berries, whole cloves, miniature pine cones and delicate cinnamon sticks for country rustic charm. It will hang from a satin ribbon with satin bow. Bring newspaper, scissors and a glue gun.

     You will learn how to make a beautifully aromatic pomander to take home and hang for the holidays. We will use sweet Seville oranges, California cloves and sleek satin ribbon. Pomanders are also cozy gifts that last for years. Only have to bring a smile, newspaper, and a glue gun.

     You will roll two balls into fragrant spiced rum potpourri (made from the instructor's Michigan gardens). Then we will add satin ribbons and criss-cross with cinnamon sticks, tiny dried orange peel and star anise. The scent will last for months. Super gift! Bring newspaper and scissors.
