Recently I wrote about making Xander some
bean bags for his
treasure basket. Deciding to run with that idea I made him some "smelly bags" or sachets. I got some dried German Chamomile, lavender, and dried orange peel from a local health food store. I ended up spending about $5 and getting about triple what I needed.
I also got these little tie bags for 19 cents each. It was well worth it to save me having to make the liners myself. I just clipped off the drawstring, put the herbs in, and sewed them closed.
Then I sewed the whole thing into a sachet. They don't look that great, mostly because I used SUPER thin fabric so that he could smell through it. The canvas was MUCH easier to sew!

I love the smelling sachet ideas! Thanks for sharing the great idea. : )
ReplyDeleteWhere did you get the tie bags?
ReplyDeleteThey sold them at the store where I bought the loose leaf teas.
