Trim
Use a paper trimmer along the cut lines on the print out to cut out tag.
Fold Tags in Half
Fill Bags
I added one orange slice, one cinnamon stick, one sprig, and a dash of cloves to each bag. You can always add more as the bag allows!
Close Bags
Peel off the plastic protector from the baggie and seal shut.
Add Folded Tag
Use glue tape on the two outside edges of the folded tag. Place tag over the bag so you can still see all the ingredients inside and close.
Gift
To use the potpourri just fill a small pot with water and place all the ingredients in the pot and bring to a simmer on the stove. This is a great way to make your house smell delicious and like Christmas without any chemicals, just fresh scents!
