: HELP! I need instructions for lighted potpourri vases and also need to know if they are safe???? Thanks!
I MAKE MINE OUT OF QUART SIZE JARS OR VARIOUS SIZE JARS I FIND AT THE LOCAL DOLLAR STORE. I USE A STRAND OF 50 LIGHTS IN MINE. I JUST LAYER THE LIGHTS WITH THE POTPOURRI UNTIL I REACH THE TOP. I LEAVE THE CORD HANGING OUT OF THE TOP OF THE JAR AND PUT A DOILLY OR A PIECE OF LACE OVER THE JAR MOUTH AND SECURE WITH A RUBBER BAND. I COVER THE RUBBER BAND WITH A RIBBON. EVERYONE I HAVE GIVEN ONE TO LOVES THEM. I WOULDN'T LEAVE THEM PLUGGED UP FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME. I HAD A CHRISTMAS PARTY AND LEFT MINE PLUGGED UP FOR ABOUT 6 HOURS, JUST KEEP CHECKING THE JAR. WHEN THE POTPOURRI LOSES ITS SMELL JUST ADD A DROP OR TWO OF SCENTED OIL. HAPPY CRAFTING!!!!!
