The DIY stove top hack that will have your house smelling like CHRISTMAS!

We are obsessed with this! - by Amy Sinclair
  • 27 Nov 2018

Love the festive season so much that you want your WHOLE HOME to smell Christmas 24-7? Well you’re in luck!

Lifestyle blog I Heart Naptime has released their Christmas Stove Top Pot Pourri - and it’s the easiest budget DIY way to bring a festive aroma to your home. 

The DIY stove top hack that will have your house smelling like CHRISTMAS!

It’s DIY, it’s super easy - and trust us, it smells just like Christmas. And unlike expensive candles and oils, this costs next to nothing and lasts for hours!

‘This stove top potpourri is one of my favorite smells during the holidays,’ says I Heart Naptime’s Jamielyn. ‘I love the combination of oranges, cranberries and cinnamon sticks. The simmering smells during the holidays just cant be beat.

'The best part about this recipe is it’s super easy to make. Just put the ingredients in a pot and simmer on low for a couple hours. Trust me… your house will smell amazing!’

To make the DIY stove top potpourri, Jamielynn combines cranberries (we used frozen, and it works a treat), fresh orange, cinnamon sticks, cloves, nutmeg and water - and leaves it to simmer, uncovered, over a low heat for as long as desired. 

The ingredients!

And if it starts getting a little low, you can just top it up with more water and keep the scent going!

Love it! For all the measurements and details, head here for the recipe!
