Pine Cone Air Freshener
Instructions to make a simple gift or decoration.

Materials Needed:
  • Pine Cones
  • Christmas Tree Lights
  • Potpourri
  • 2 Quart, Large Mouth Jar
  • Lace Material (or a doily)
  • Ribbon
Instructions:
Place the pine cones and potourri in the jar so it is about 3/4 of the way full. Gently tuck a small string of white CHristmas tree lights in the jar. Use a ruler or pencil to spread the lights out so they are evenly spaced and can be seen well on all sides. Make sure you have enough of the light string hanging out so it can easily be plugged in. Once the lights are in place, fill the jar to the top with the potpourri. Do not cover it with the jar lid

Cut a circle out of a piece of lace material about 2 inches larger than the top of the jar. Lay it on the top of the jar, making sure the plug end of the light string is sticking out in the back under the lace. Secure the lace by tying a ribbin around the top edge of the jar. (Insteaed of the lace material, you can use a doily and get the same great effect!)

Once plugged in, this is a beautiful decoration and the scent is wonderful! This is a simple craft that makes a wonderful gift!

TIP from Uhlamae: Uhlamae uses only potpourri and she adds scented oil as she layers in the potpourri.
