Materials:
1 pound orange peel (dime size) 1/2 pound lemon peel (dime size) 1 pound whole star anise 1 pound small cinnamon sticks (1 inch) 1 pound whole allspice 1 pound whole cloves 4 ounces fixative orris root, cellulose fixative 1-2 ounce bottle with dropper of orange, cinnamon, or christmas oils.

Directions:
If making a small amount, use a jar. If making a larger amount, use something that you don't mind having the aroma in forever.
Mix together all ingredients except the oil. After mixing, add the oil by dropping it onto the potpourri. Trying to get as much as possible of the oil on the fixative. Continue to mix as you drop the oil into the potpourri. Use 1/2 of the oil. Check the aroma by smelling 2 or 3 days later; you can always decide to add more oil.
Let the potpourri sit for 2 to 3 weeks in a cool dark spot. Stirring every couple days. When finished bag up and label.
