SWEET SMELLING SACHETS ::



One for each drawer...
1.  Choose 2 fabrics - remember the looser the weave, the more smells that will come through.  (And if one is sheer, you can see all your beautiful herbs)
  2.  Cut your 2 fabrics into 3 x3 squares
3.
 Sew them RST (right sides together), leaving an opening.
4.
 Clip your corners and turn your sachet right side out.
5.
 Iron flat.
6.  Fill your sachets with your rice and herb mixture.  We recommend scents like: lavender, mint, rose bud, and rosemary.  (We got ours at Meadowsweet Herbs)
Add a little rice or flax to give it weight.  We used a ratio of 1 spoon of scent for 3 spoons of rice, but do what feels (and smells) right.

7.  Sorry, but you'll have to hand sew the opening closed.  Think of it as peaceful.
*TIP: switch up the size (add some ties) and make a microwavable eye pillow, or heating pad.
