How to Make Lavender Drawer Sachets

Fill the Sachets

Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of dried lavender buds into each sachet bag.

If you would like a stronger fragrance, add 1-2 drops of lavender essential oil to the dried buds before filling the bags.

Tie Securely

Close the sachet using the drawstring, ribbon, or twine.

Make sure the bag is securely closed to prevent lavender buds from escaping.

Label or Decorate

If giving as gifts, attach a small tag or label.

You can also decorate the sachets with ribbon, lace, or dried lavender stems.

These fragrant sachets can be placed in:

How Long Do Lavender Sachets Last?

When the scent begins to fade, gently squeeze or rub the sachet to release more fragrance from the dried buds.

You can also refresh the scent by adding a drop or two of lavender essential oil.

Muslin bags, organza bags, cotton sachets, and small fabric pouches all work well.

Can I make these without sewing?

Absolutely. Ready-made drawstring bags make this project quick and easy.
