Sachets are great in any draw or under any pillow to keep your
clothes & bed linens smelling fresh. I have them in every
draw, in my closet & under each pillow in my bed. It makes
such a difference especially in the bed. About an hour before
I go to sleep each night, I take the sachet from under my pillow
and break up the potpourri inside. Then I leave it in between
my sheets. When I go to bed, I replace it under my pillow. The
sheets smell wonderful, and the blend I use has lots of lavender
for it's relaxing properties.
If you have ever made a sachet before, you know the most difficult
part of the project is making the sachet especially if you don't
sew. Well, I have a better idea. Use tea bags. You can buy the
heat sealable tea bags or fold and staple bags from Glenbrook Farms Supply page
