Sophie's three "F's" for DIY homemade traditional potpourri:

Fixatives: Items you can find in your own backyard, like, bark, seedpods and pinecones.

Fillers: Materials that absorb scent and increase the staying power of the aroma. Try dehydrated lemons, oranges, eucalyptus, roses, cornflowers, lavender and calendula! These dried materials can be purchased in bulk from www.mountainroseherbs.com.

Fragrance: Add some drops of essential/fragrant oils to your mixture to enhance the perfume. try lavender oil, neroli oil, sandalwood oil, ylang ylang oils.

Particular oil blends recommended by Sophie:

For a Woody Essence: 20 drops vetiver, 15 drops sandalwood, 15 drops cypress.

For a Citrus Essence: 30 drops of sweet orange, 15 drops lemon, 15 drops grapefruit.

For a Floral Essence: 20 drops ylang ylang, 15 drops Neroli, 15 drops Geranium.

*If you just want to add one oil, choose either Geranium or Lavender. Recipe for "Simmering" Potpourri

3. Pick up self-adhesive wall tiles named “Smart Tiles” from your local hardware store. You will need to measure the bottom of the tray to make sure you buy enough wall tiles to cover the entire base. Since I picked up a 10” x 10” pieces of tile, and my tray is 12” x 18”, I had to purchase 3 packs of wall tiles.
4. Lay out your wall tiles on the bottom of the tray. Cut to fit. Once you are happy with the layout, peel off the back of the wall tiles and affix to the bottom of the tray. Fill in any gaps with left over pieces of wall tile.

Directions for Bathroom Tray:

1. Take an 11"x14" picture frame of your choosing
