In this craft we are going to make two types of natural scented sachets to give a very good smell to our rooms or drawers.
Do you want to see how to do them?
Materials that we will need to make our natural scented bags
- Cloth bags, as many as we want
- Dried lavender
- Candles
- Essential oil of the smell that we like the most, in my case I have used orange and lemon.
Hands on craft
Bag 1
- This scented bag is very simple, we just have to take dried lavender and chop it with your hands to put it in a bag. In my case I have taken the lavender from my garden, but you can find it dried in florists. If you want to accentuate the smell of lavender, you can put a drop of lavender essential oil inside the bag as well. I don't put in lavender essential oil and it still smells a lot.
- We close the bag and put it in a drawer to aromatize our garments.
Bag 2
- We are going to make scented candles. For it We will chop up different colored candles and put it in a double boiler. When they are undone we will add the essential oil that we have chosen. We stir with a stick.
- We put in a mold the melted wax and let it cool well.
- You can see this post to make scented candles with essential oils: scented mosquito candle.
- Once cold, we unmold and we cut the wax into squares.
- We put these little squares inside bags and we put them in areas where they move, for example on the doors. In my case, I'm going to put them on the inside of the bathroom knob. So every time the door is opened and closed the bag will move and the smell of wax will spread.
- When it does not smell or smells very little, you just have to split the wax cubes.
And ready!
I hope you cheer up and do this craft.
