How to Make Sachets

5/18/2020

0 Comments

 
Sachets are small perfumed bags used for scenting clothes drawers or cars. It is a simple, nature activity to do with kids!

What You’ll Need:
-2-3 Aromatic herbs and spices that have been completely dried such as lavender, mint, star anise, cinnamon sticks, whole cloves, orange peel, lemon peel, and rose petals.

- A 6”x 6 ” square piece of material and a ribbon or a pre-made breathable fabric drawstring bag.

Optional: -Essential oils.

Instructions:

1. Pick 2-3 aromatic herbs and spices that smell good together. Some combinations we love are: lavender/mint, rose/lavender, and orange peels/cloves/cinnamon.

2. Lay material on table right side down. Place approximately ¼ cup herbs in the middle of fabric. Add essential oil if you need to enhance the smell.

​3. Gather up the sides of the material and tie with a ribbon.
