Make Your Own Sachets

Oh Martha Stewart, how I love you! Today's craft featured on marthastewart.com helps you create you own adorable sachets. What a great idea (and very cost efficient and simple) to use as gifts for your guests or to put in a welcome basket for when your guests arrive to your wedding.


Materials:
Envelopes of various sizes and color.
Thick pin (a sewing needle that is on the thicker side would be best)
Template of what you want to put on the envelope on paper



1. Create a design on your template paper that you would like to use for your sachets. An idea would be to use something that was used on your save the dates or invites. Lay your template over an envelope.
2. With a thick pin, punch holes through the template and envelope until the dotted design is complete.
3. Fill the envelope with blends of scented ingredients. We like the following combinations: cedar tips, cedar shavings, and lavender; orange tea and dried roses; and lemon verbena, chamomile and dried lemon peel. (Vary the amount depending on the envelope size; we used 1 tablespoon in the gift-card envelope.)
4. With a glue stick, seal the envelope.
