| SACHETS
A sachet is simply potpourri in a fabric
container, such as a small bag or pillow. Sachets can be made from almost
any material. Fabrics that breathe well are best, so that the scent of
the sachet can escape into the air. Good fabrics to use are cotton, linen,
silk, and muslin.
One very simple idea is to buy old lace handkerchiefs at garage sales
or flea markets. Put a few spoonfuls of your potpourri mixture into the
center of the handkerchief, draw up the ends, and tie with a ribbon to
make a small pouch.
Another simple sachet can be made using any old fabric. Cut a small
rectangular strip about 4" x 11". Fold in half (wrong side out)
and stitch up both sides. Turn inside out. (If you don't sew, you can
use fabric glue instead!) Spoon in potpourri mixture, filling pouch about
1/2 way. Gather at the top of the mixture and tie with a ribbon.
