Perfume your bath with potpourri by tossing in a 'tea bag' of fragrant

flowers or herbs. Make sure your herbs are large enough so they won't

wash out of the bags. To give these bath 'tea bags' as a gift, just pack

them in pretty jars decorated with dried flowers or herbs, and attach a

pretty ribbon with a sprig of dried flowers tied into the bow. Or you

can put them in a basket with dried flowers or sprigs of dried herbs

glued here and there, and woven with ribbon. These look

attractive displayed with small guest soaps and loose potpourri.

How To Make BATH SACHETS:

You will need:

Cheesecloth or loose-weave muslin, cut into "Circles"

Potpourri

Ribbon

Cup the cheesecloth Circle in your hand, wrong side up, and place a

mound of potpourri on it. Gather together, then tie with some ribbon.

Make the ribbon ends long enough so you can make a loop to hang the

sachet from the faucet. If you hang the bag so the warm running water

runs through it, it will increase the perfume of the water. Then toss

the sachet in the bath water.
