Potpourri filled pie pans

Pie pans can be used to make attractive potpourri holders. Remove the outer rim of pie pan and cut out desired design or leave as a round design. Fill pan with potpourri and glue to hold potpourri in place. Add potpourri oil if desired. Take a piece of bridal veil and cover entire design,and glue well to back of pan. Once the glue dries, add a decorative ribbon to back of pan for hanging. Decorative laces and ribbons can be used to accent design. From: MaryBranch, NC.

Pretty hanging sachet

Use any size wooden embroidery hoops, I prefer the smaller ones. Lay the bottom hoop on the table, cover with a piece of lace fabric about 1 inch larger around than the hoop, fill with as much potpourri as you can use, cover with another piece of lace fabric the same size as the bottom, put the 2 hoops together and tighten. using 1/2 to 1 1/2 inch gathered lace, starting from the tightening screw, glue the lace to the back of the back hoop, lace edge out,all the way around. Then add a small bow tied around the tightener, use any kind of ribbon. It can be hung on a push pin.

Potpourri Wreath

I take a small grapevine wreath and hot glue potpourri all over the wreath add a decorative bow on top to hang. You can also delete the bow and add a small candle holder in center of wreath, with your favorite scented candle. This make a beautifully scented piece. Both projects are fun and simple

Straw Hats and Pots

Just a couple of ideas...
those tiny straw hats that cost 25 cents at Walmart are great if you turn them over and put potpourri or lavender inside the crown, then cover with netting or lace glued on with a glue gun.... just put a small ribbon band and fabric flowers around the hat band section and tie a bow in back...
cheap, cute, and really easy. can be used with a piece of ribbon loop to hang in the closet, or just put in a dresser drawer.

Another easy idea is to buy those little terra cotta pots and sponge paint the outside in gold paint, then place a small votive candle inside, possibly in the wedding color. you can also use battenburg lace and old buttons and ribbon in the brides colors to make simple but lovely brooches.
