Gel Air Freshener
Supplies:
Your choice of ready made liquid potpourri concentrate (2 cups)
4 pkg. Knox gelatin
Heat one cup of the potpourri concentrate to a boil and add gelatin until dissolved. Remove from heat and add the second cup of potpourri concentrate. Pour into small decorative jars. Let the fresheners set over night at room temperature until set.
NOTE: This is not a gel candle - do not burn!

Scented or Filled Heart Sachets
Supplies:
Large heart shaped cookie cutter
Scraps of country decor fabric
Quilt batting
Scented oils of your choice or potpourri
Ribbon
Optional for decorating: Ribbon, lace, buttons, etc.
Using cookie cutter, trace around two layers of fabric, which have been secured with straight pins. Cut out both layers of fabric with a good set of pinking shears. If you are going to scent the sachets with oil you will need to cut two layers of batting about 1/8 inch smaller. Dab scented oil between the layers of batting. Place the scented batting between the layers of fabric, add a loop of ribbon in the cleft of heart for hanging, and either sew or glue the fabric hearts around edges. Now its time to put your imagination to work, decorating with buttons, ribbon, lace, etc.

Potpourri Draw Sachets Option Two.
Sew around the edges of the heart, leaving a small opening to add one of the following recipes of potpourri mixes. Place the funnel end into the opening and fill heart with mix. Sew opening closed. No need to add a hanger to the draw sachets.
