I'm really sorry I don't have a picture for this idea but it is a great one. We did these for several years for neighbor/ward member gifts and they were always a huge hit.

These are wonderful, and so pretty in the jars. I'll look and see if I have a picture from a past Enrichment (though I think that was the calendar year, so I probably don't have pictures of anything else.).
I wonder if you put a plastic grid over the top under the ring and then covered that with fabric if you could then leave it in the bottle and just put the bottle in boiling water and get the scent?
Do you know how far in advance you can them? Do they need to be refrigerated before you open them? Thanks, love this idea and am using it for my son's preschool teachers and Hellers this holiday.
Yes, I would be interested in knowing how long these should be made in advance as well! Thanks!
How far in advance could you make these? Also, did you use labels or did you print these out. They look so beautiful I would love to do something like that.
