No-Sew Sachets

These delightful potpourri sachets can be made in a variety of fabrics and colors. The ones pictured above are made with sheer organza type fabric in order to see the contents of the sachet bags.

The sachets can be used in closets, lingerie & hosiery bags, laundry bags, drawers, bathrooms, and anywhere else you want to freshen. They also make beautiful decorative accessories for any room.

You will need:

• fabric
• glue
• ribbon
• potpourri

Instructions:

1. For each sachet, place 2 matching 5-inch fabric squares back-to-back and glue the edges together on 3 sides. Spread the glue close to the edges to keep it from fraying.

2. Fill the sachet with about 1/2 cup of potpourri when the glue is dry. Then glue together the open edges and again let the glue dry.

3. Arrange the finished sachets in multicolored stacks and tie them together with a festive ribbon or yarn.

Your satchets are ready. Use them as fragrantly scented decorative accessories for your home or give them as gifts.
