Whether you're looking for a thoughtful handmade gift or a way to naturally freshen up your space, DIY scented sachets with lavender and dried rose petals are a perfect choice. Let’s dive into how to make them!

🧵 What You’ll Need:

  • Dried lavender buds (1 cup)
  • Dried rose petals (½ cup)
  • Optional: dried chamomile, mint, or orange peel for variety

🌿 Instructions:

  1. Prepare the herbs: Mix the dried lavender and rose petals in a bowl. If you want a stronger scent, add a few drops of essential oil and stir gently. Let the mixture sit for a few minutes so the scent can blend in.
  2. Fill your sachets: Spoon 2–3 tablespoons of the mixture into each bag or fabric square. If using fabric, fold the square into a pouch and tie it with ribbon or sew the edges together.
  3. Seal the scent: If you're using ribbon, tie it tightly to prevent the herbs from spilling. You can also double-layer the sachets for a more polished look.
  4. Optional – Add a tag: If you're giving the sachet as a gift, attach a little tag that says something sweet like “Handmade with love – Relax & Enjoy.”

💡 Tips & Variations:

  • Seasonal twist: Add a touch of cinnamon or cloves for winter-themed sachets.
  • Customize the scent: Prefer something citrusy? Try dried lemon peel with rosemary!
  • Repurpose fabric: Use scraps from old clothes or vintage linens for an eco-friendly touch.

  • Birthdays
