Creative Ways to Make Your Home Smell Like Christmas

# Make your own potpourri

Potpourri is a classic way to create a fragrant atmosphere at home. The technique has been used by the French for centuries, but it is also found in the traditions of other cultures. Potpourri is a mixture of dried flowers, essential oils, and other additives placed in a suitable container, from which a wonderful aroma is diffused throughout the home. To make a Christmas potpourri, you can mix dried cranberries, citrus fruits (tangerines, oranges, grapefruits), cinnamon sticks, pine twigs and cones, cloves, and vanilla beans. Add essential oils of your choice. Mix everything and place in a tall glass container. You can also use a metal shallow container depending on how big your potpourri will be and what it will contain. This way, your potpourri will not only scent, but also decorate your home beautifully for the holidays!

# Mix orange and clove

Orange and clove are smells that are very reminiscent of Christmas. And the best part is that you can combine them in a beautiful and creative way. Take clove sprigs and stick them in the peel of a fresh orange. Arrange them as you choose on the fruit so that patterns emerge. This way, the orange will both decorate and flavor your home. You can scatter many oranges decorated with cloves in different corners of the home for a cozy and fragrant Christmas. Dried orange slices are another wonderful way to scent and decorate your home for Christmas. Cut fresh oranges into slices. Dry them over a very low heat on the oven rack. Arrange them or hang them in different places in your home to diffuse their pleasant Christmas aroma. You can also decorate the tree with them.
