In the rush of our daily routines, we often pass by mundane spaces like our lingerie drawer or linen closet without a second thought. Making something sweet-smelling for these nooks and crannies will produce a simple pleasure to greet you each time you open a drawer or cupboard in your home.
Create an essential oil-filled sachet to add the delicate scent of lavender in unexpected places. These pocket-sized pouches give a tiny dose of aromatherapy and freshen up any unpleasant-smelling areas.
How to make DIY scented sachets
What you need
½ cup uncooked rice
¼ cup Epsom salt
1 cup dried lavender buds
Muslin cotton drawstring pouches, approximately 10cm×12 cm.
40 drops Lavender essential oil
What you do
1. In a medium bowl, mix rice, Epsom salt, flower buds, and essential oil to thoroughly scent the mixture.
2. Spoon mixture into your muslin pouch.
3. Place anywhere you want to add a fresh lavender scent.
4. Refresh your pouch every 2─3 weeks by opening it up and adding more drops of essential oil.
This recipe creates enough for two sachets.
Where to put scented sachets
Here are a few ideas:
• Place it with other natural-looking decor on a tray in a bathroom or guest room.
• Stash it in a drawer for delicately scented clothes.
• Store it in a linen closet for fresh sheets and towels.
• Keep it in the car to hang on your rearview mirror.
• Hide it away in a gym bag to quell any odors.
• Throw it in your suitcase for clean-smelling clothes while you're on the go.
• Stuff it in smelly shoes to give them a refresh.
• Place it in your pillowcase to surround yourself in calming aromas as you drift off to sleep.
You don't have to use a muslin bag, any bag (or a sock without a measure🤣) can work and any flavor combination - you can rose petals and geranium.... Be creative.
It's even a cute gift😁
