For Gorgeous Smelling Drawers: How I Make My Own Lavender Sachets
Imagine opening up your drawers and being hit by the gorgeous scent of lavender Sounds like a dream to me if Im being honest However this is the type of small luxury that doesnt have to cost you a fortune all you need is a few lavender sachets And today Im going to teach you how to make them all by yourself Lavender sachets are the perfect solution for infusing your drawers and closets with a soothing scent And even though you can buy them almost anywhere making your own could be such a fun DIY project So if youre looking for a fun challenge to do during the weekend lets go over the process step by step
Materials Needed
Before we jump into the crafting fun lets make sure we have all the materials we need Heres what youll want to gather
- Dried lavender buds
- Fabric squares or pouches think muslin cotton or any breathable fabric
- Sewing machine or needle and thread
- Ribbon or twine optional
Now that weve got our supplies in order its time to roll up our sleeves and start crafting some lavender magic Dont worry the process is super easy So even if you have no experience with sewing its no issue at all
Prepare Your Fabric Squares
Alright lets kick things off by prepping our fabric squares You can choose any size you like for your sachets but I find that squares around 4×4 inches work beautifully If youre using a sewing machine go ahead and hem the edges of your fabric squares to prevent any fraying If youre stitching by hand simply fold over the edges and secure them with a running stitch However if you just cant figure out how to do the stitches correctly dont worry I have a cheat code for you hot glue You can glue the edges together give it a few minutes to cool down and fold the square over
Fill Em Seal the Deal
Finally its time for the fun part filling our fabric squares with lavender Ideally you would use dried lavender buds from your own garden However I know that not everyone will have this option available Luckily you can buy them at most craft stores or even online Be generous with the lavender especially if you want the smell to fill up your closet However dont forget to leave a bit of space at the top for sealing Now that the sachets are bursting with lavender its time to seal the deal Use the technique that you were using for your fabric squares So either seal them with a sewing machine stitches or a little bit of hot glue
Tie It Up Enjoy
Were almost there The only thing thats left to do is add a few finishing touches Feeling fancy Add a few cute ribbons to your sachets This will not only look cute but also allow you to hang the sachets in your closet or drawers Ah can you smell that Its the heavenly scent of lavender wafting through the air Pop your freshly crafted sachets into your drawers closets or anywhere else that could use a fragrant pick me up Not only will your storage spaces smell divine but the lavender scent will also help keep pests at bay leaving your clothes fresh and protected
