scented flower picks

While shopping in Pier one today,  I saw four silk flowers in a diffuser jar,  they sell them I believe it was 4 to a pack.   I decided I would make my own since I always have faux flowers on hand that pick up here and there when they are on sale.

 
 
take the flower from the stem
 
 
Make sure you hold the center of the flower so the flower petals do not separate
 
I used a bamboo skewer to make the opening larger so the reed would go in easier
The rest of the reeds I just inserted in the jar
didn't want a lot of flowers,  just a few for a little color
The scent is wonderful
 
I am sharing with Amaze me Monday
