Take a glass canister jar [remove
lid] place inside a string of miniature Christmas
lights, and enough potpourri to fill jar. Be sure to
have tail of lights coming out of the top of the
jar.
Place a lace doily large enough to cover jar opening
and the lace trim is hanging down around the jar,
but not so long that it covers the jar. Wrap ribbon
around the top of the jar where the flat lace and
frilly lace trim meet and tie a bow.
Be sure tail of lights are long
enough to plug the jar in . As lights burn the scent
of the potpourri really comes out! It is very pretty
day or night.
