Home-Made Sachets
Potpourri Recipes
Natural Crafts




Sachets are easily made, and great for gifts ideas, or personal use. Basically, they're fabric bags, with potpourri inside, tied off with ribbons. You can put them in clothing drawers and even hang them in closets.

As far as the potpourri goes, you can you buy a mixture at the store, or make it yourself (which is alot more fun).
