Materials You’ll Need:
- Small drawstring bags or fabric
- Dried lavender flowers
- Essential oils (optional)
- Needle and thread or sewing machine
- Scissors
Step 1: Prepare the Fabric
Start by cutting your fabric into small squares or rectangles. If you’re using drawstring bags, skip this step. Make sure your fabric pieces are big enough to hold a sufficient amount of lavender flowers while still allowing you to easily sew them.
Step 2: Measure and Fill
Place the fabric piece on a flat surface and measure about 2 tablespoons of dried lavender flowers onto its center. If desired, you can add a few drops of essential oil on top of the flowers to enhance the scent.
Step 3: Close and Secure
Bring the corners of the fabric together, forming a small pouch around the lavender flowers. Secure the edges by hand sewing or using a sewing machine. Ensure the pouch is properly sealed to prevent any loose flowers from falling out.
Step 4: Add Finishing Touches
If you’re using drawstring bags, simply gather the pouch and secure it tightly with the drawstring. For fabric squares or rectangles, you can add a decorative bow or ribbon to further enhance the aesthetics of your lavender bag.
Step 5: Enjoy Your Lavender Bags
Your lavender bags are now complete and ready for use! Place them in drawers, closets, under pillows, or anywhere you desire a pleasant aroma and calming effects. Refresh the scent by gently squeezing the bag to release more fragrance.
