In the rush of our daily routines, we often pass by mundane spaces like our lingerie drawer or linen closet without a second thought.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>Making something sweet-smelling for these nooks and crannies<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0will produce a simple pleasure to greet you each time you open a drawer or cupboard in your home.<\/p>\n

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<\/a> and freshen up any unpleasant-smelling areas.<\/p>\n<\/div>

How to make DIY scented sachets<\/span><\/h2>\n

What you need<\/span><\/h3>\n

\u00bd cup uncooked rice
\n\u00bc cup Epsom salt
\n1 cup dried lavender buds
\nMuslin cotton drawstring pouches, approximately 5 inches long by 4 inches wide
\n40 drops Lavender essential oil<\/a><\/p>\n

What you do<\/span><\/h3>\n

1. In a medium bowl, mix rice, Epsom salt, flower buds, and essential oil to thoroughly scent the mixture.
\n2. Spoon mixture into your muslin pouch.
\n3. Place anywhere you want to add a fresh lavender scent.
\n4. Refresh your pouch every 2\u25003 weeks by opening it up and adding more drops of essential oil.<\/p>\n

This recipe creates enough for two sachets.<\/p>\n

YL tip:<\/strong><\/span> Instead of buying new pouches, go green and use something you have lying around! Spoon the mixture into a cute sock that\u2019s lost its mate and tie the top. If you\u2019re the crafty type, you can even sew a little bag from a scrap of fabric.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Tailor your sachets to your tastes<\/span><\/h2>\n

The charm of the simple sachets is that you can tailor them to fit your scent pallet preferences.<\/p>\n

Fill these little packages with any dried flowers or herbs you like! Rosemary needles, dried chamomile, and cedarwood shavings are all clean and crisp smells that provide a pleasant whiff instead of a cringy odor.<\/p>\n

Customize your creation using any essential oil combo you love most!<\/p>\n<\/div>

Where to put scented sachets<\/span><\/h2>\n

Here are a few ideas:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Place it with other natural-looking decor on a tray in a bathroom or guest room.<\/li>\n
  • Stash it in a drawer for delicately scented clothes.<\/li>\n
  • \u00a0Store it in a linen closet for fresh sheets and towels.<\/li>\n
  • Keep it in the car to hang on your rearview mirror.<\/li>\n
  • \u00a0Hide it away in a gym bag to quell any odors.<\/li>\n
  • Throw it in your suitcase for clean-smelling clothes while you\u2019re on the go.<\/li>\n
  • Stuff it in smelly shoes to give them a refresh.<\/li>\n
  • Place it in your pillowcase to surround yourself in calming aromas as you drift off to sleep.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>
