Dried Flower Sachet

By Sherri Osborn, About.com

Make yur own dried flower sachet. Smells great and makes a perfect gift!

Materials Needed:

  • Flowers
  • String
  • Felt
  • Glue
  • Lace Material
  • Piece of Lace
  • Perfume
Instructions:
Dry your flowers as described on this page: Save Your Summer Blooms.

Cut out the felt and lace material into whatever shape you want your sachet to be (hearts are fun, but any simple shape will work. The size you make will defepend on how many flowers you have. You will want your sachet 'pillow' to be full, but not too big (probably 6 inches maximum size).

Put glue around the edge of your felt shape, but leave a small section without glue. This is where you will stuff your dreid flowers in. A hot glue gun works well, but any sort of thick, tacky glue will work also. Set your lace shape on the glue. Be careful to match the edges as best as you can. Set it aside for the glue to dry.

Once the glue and flowers are both dry, carefully stick the petal of the dried flowers into the opening you left in your felt/lace shape. Once full, glue the opening shut. Caefully put a dab of glue around the edge of your shape, on the lace side. Carefully stick the edge of the piece of lace onto the glue. Set aside to dry.

Once your glue is dry, your sachet is pretty much ready! Put a small amount of purfume on the back of your felt so your sachet smells great. These make great gifts, and are perfect for making drawers, closets, and other small areas smell sweet!
