Hey friends! We're making herbal sachets. There are many benefits to herbal sachets, including giving your clothes a signature scent and freshening the smell of your car or closet, depending on how you choose to use them. They are simple to make and the ingredients can basically be whatever appeals to you. I used ingredients from my herb garden. If you don't have an herb garden or ingredients on hand, take a walk and follow your nose to collect ingredients that have a scent that appeals to you.

Some commonly used fillings are herbs, flowers, citrus peels and wood chips. Generally, dried ingredients will offer a stronger scent. You can also use fresh ingredients that will produce a lighter scent but dry over time. Different combinations will have different benefits, aside from how they smell. Lavender is well known for its calming impact and a variety of herbs will deter pests such as flies, mosquitoes and moths.
