Lavender Sachets
Just what is a sachet? Well, it is a small bag containing fragrant materials used to scent drawers of clothes, linens, closets and more. Sachets have been around for 1000's of years and they are definitely not "granny items" although your grandmother might have some.
If you sew you can fabricate lovely little bags out of various fabrics. they may be simple or you may choose to be ornate.
For those who don't have the time or the ability to work with fabric there are some lovely bags available for purchase. I bought mine pictured below from Big Lots and as you can see from the photo they didn't cost a lot but they look like a million. They weren't sold as "sachet bags" but I believe they were in the bridal section. Here are more lovely organza bags you could use to make sachets.
Just look at the beautiful bead work and lace! It would take hours if you handcrafted this yourself. All you need to do with these is open and fill with Lavender flower buds or rose petals and they will be beautiful.
If you look at the filled sachet picture below you will see that it too is nice even though there is no lace or beads. The focus here is just on the inside Lavender filling and the lovely fabric. You can be as embellished as you want when crafting the Lavender sachets. Either way I don't think you could go wrong.
You may tuck these beautiful and handmade sachets into drawers, hang them from clothes hangers, suspend them from doorknobs. They are really versatile and attractive not to forget extremely fragrant too.
Simply craft a sachet bag or purchase one and fill with buds or leaves, rose petals or potpourri. The choice is yours and each one will be unique because you made it yourself with hopefully your own harvested materials. Add a few drops of essential oil to boost the fragrance of the filling. Lavender sachets are wonderful where ever you may place them.
Do you have a sachet that you are proud of? Show it off here. Email me a picture and maybe instructions so that others can see all the choices available when crafting items. We would love to see your work and might feature it here with permission from you. Show us your sachets.
