Keep this puppy sealed tight. This allows the sachet to diffuse fragrance for its intended lifespan - up to 9 months after the date printed on the back of the envelope. Should you put your sachet on wood? Read the back label of the sachet to find out which surfaces you should not directly place your sachet envelope on.
Should you put the sachet in your car? Our scented sachets make great car air fresheners! Place the sachet under your seat in the car, tuck it between your sun visor and the roof of your car, or slip one of your sachets in the pocket on the back of your seat.
This will lead to the sachet having a shorter lifespan in some cases. Should you put the sachet in a closet? You can put your sachet inside shoes to help eliminate foot odor. You can attach your sachet to a hanger and use it to fragrance your clothes.
You can store a sachet with your wrapping paper in your holiday closet to make your gifts smell festive! You can also place your sachet in the pocket of coats to keep them from getting musty while they are in storage.
Should you place your sachet with bed sheets or towels? You can slip a sachet in between sheets, linens, hand towels, and the like to help them smell fresh and clean. We recommend Clean Clothes or Laundry Line for this specific purpose.
Should I let my sachet get wet? Keep your sachet in a dry environment. Should I keep a sachet with my school supplies? Cut 2 fabric squares in the size and shape you want to sew a sachet.
You don't need a fancy pattern to make a sachet; all you need is some lightweight fabric. Decide how big you'd like to make your sachet and cut 2 equal-sized square pieces. For a small sachet, cut a few 5 in 13 cm squares or cut 7 in 18 cm squares for a larger sachet. Feel free to cut your fabric into any shape. To make rectangular, heart-shaped, or circular sachets, cut 2 equal pieces that you can sew together. Stack the fabric squares so the wrong sides face out. Lay the squares on top of each other so the patterned sides touch.
This means that you'll be sewing the wrong side so when you're done, you can turn the sachet right side out. Take your fabric to the sewing machine and start sewing a straight line down 1 side of the square.
Then, turn the square when you reach a corner and straight stitch along the other 2 sides. You'll use the gap to fill the sachet. Flip the fabric sachet right side out. Push the fabric through the gap you left so you can pull the right side of the sachet out.
This way, the wrong side without the pattern is inside the sachet. Now you're ready to fill your sachet. Part 2. Mix 1 cup g of dry rice with 10 drops of essential oil for a custom scent. If you already have a few bottles of essential oils, use them to scent your sachet filling.
Pour 1 cup g of dry rice into a bowl and stir in 10 drops of a single essential oil or a mix. For example, use 5 drops of lavender and 5 drops of rosemary for a woodsy-scented filling. Screw the lid on and shake it vigorously to coat the rice with the scent.
This is a great task for kids to help out with! Play around with your favorite essential oil combinations. Try bergamot and grapefruit for a citrus scent or use peppermint for a festive winter filling. If you don't want to use rice, substitute the same amount of plain oats or cotton balls. Make or buy potpourri for a strong-smelling filling.
Potpourri is a great filler for sachets since you can buy it ready-made or customize your own. For a spicy sachet, get potpourri that uses dried citrus peel, cloves, and cinnamon sticks, for instance. Dry lavender and use the flowers as filling for a floral sachet. If you have a lavender plant, snip the purple tips from the green stems and spread the flowers on a kitchen towel.
Leave the lavender at room temperature for a few days so the flowers dry out. Then, you can fill your sachets with the fragrant flowers. If your sachet isn't smelling very strong, just massage the lavender filling to release more scent. Fill the sachet with your favorite dried herbs or flowers like eucalyptus, lilac, thyme, or rosemary.
Spread fresh rose petals on a baking sheet to dry for a delicate sachet filling. Buy a dozen roses that have a strong fragrance or pick a dozen early in the morning when the petals are open. Pull off the petals and spread them on a rimmed baking sheet. Then, leave the petals at room temperature for about 4 days so the petals dry out completely. Buy cedar chips or shavings to make a moth-repelling filler. If you plan on putting sachets into a closet or clothing drawer, add cedar to your filling combination or use all cedar chips or shavings.
The cedar naturally repels moths that can damage your clothes or fabric. Lavender can also repel moths and it masks some of the cedar smell. Part 3.
Fill a paper pouch half full and tape the top edge closed. If you made a rectangular paper sachet, fill it no more than half full and fold the top edge over. Unfold the top edge and place a piece of double-sided tape on the inside. Then, fold the top edge onto the sachet to seal it closed. I really like the look of the ticking stripe and jute twine together. It has a rustic, farmhouse feel.
I just wanted to keep this easy and use what I already had on hand. I used lavender essential oil which smelled wonderful. I really want to try vanilla or floral essential oils next time too. Or, just cut a larger square of fabric and spoon the rice mixture into the center of the square. You may need to refresh the scents from time to time — simply open it up and refill with a new rice mixture. These can be changed up depending on your mood. I put these sachets into drawers, my linen cabinet, and I also hang them in closets.
They smell so good and they look very pretty too. If you are hosting a baby or bridal shower, this is a great favor to send people home with. I always swoon over those pretty handmade favors at parties and showers.
You could tie a little note to it thanking them for coming. These sachets make great hostess gifts, teacher gifts or a little something for the neighbor. Or use them as gift toppers! Small ones would be good for that and such a sweet touch. Another idea? Or, pack these into a care package for your kids at college or a friend who lives long distance.
They will open it up and it will smell really good. Like home. Like you.
