Hi,
These come out beautiful and we use the potpourri that we've made.
What you need:
Clear Glass (not plastic) oranaments, we like the medium or the large best, the large will show up the most on your tree.
Potpourri that you've made, and is all ready.
Optional - satin ribbon, miniature rosettes/satin, glue..
Take the top off the Christmas ball, fill at least 3/4 of the way with your potpourri, replace top. Add decorate things w/glue such as ribbon, rosettes, or whatever you find that's pretty and matches your potpourri colors - glue onto and around the top.
Done, and when hung on the tree with the lights on, the little bit of warmth from the lights diffuses your potpourri scent all throughout the room, lovely and smells good too -- and makes a great gift!

The reason I don't use paint or things like that inside, is due to the fact that everything else in there is natural and I want nothing to make the smell different, as I make up all the potpourris for our whole year beforehand and use those in the ornaments :)
If you keep any for yourself, take (just as an example) an orange-spice one, from saving it till the next year, the scent will fade. Open the ball up again by removing the top-cap, and add a few drops of sweet orange essential oil and a couple of cinnimon leaf essential oil, which will then soak into your potpourri and you'll get your natural scent back. :)
Courtney, I've got a lot of natural recipes on the aromatherapy site, I'm allergic to fragrance oils, so I make everything we use :)
