Sasha aromatic with his hands

The fashion for these fragrant pillows came to us fromFrance. Of course, in almost all countries, dry herbs, flowers and seeds were used to aromatize rooms. But it was the French who not only came up with the idea of making such fragrant bags, but also gave them a name and turned the aromatic sachet into a fashionable interior item. Today, this method of aromatization is also popular because everything natural and “eco-friendly” is in fashion. What can you do: modern people are so detached from nature that they try in every possible way to compensate for this detachment in any available way. In addition, no one denies the special energy of plants (even dried ones), so such herbal pillows and bags are also actively used as amulets and a kind of neutralizers of negative energy. And the last argument in favor of the sachet is the ability to make it yourself and fill it at your own discretion. Let's find out how this can be implemented in practice.

How to make sachets?

To make aromatic sachetson your own, you will need dried herbs, flower petals, spicy seeds, spices and essential oils. All this must be placed in a pre-sewn bag or make such a container in another way. Here is one of its options:

a napkin made of organza is placed on a flat surface and glued in the center of how small the small silk flowers (facing the fabric), and pour a mixture of dried flower petals on top;
fold the napkin along, so that a rectangle is obtained, and the fabric completely covers the dry mixture in the form of a rectangle, glue the fabric along the seam.
Put a napkin with petals suture down and move the petal mixture to the center so that the ends of the rectangle remain empty;
fasten the ends with a double cord, tying them with a beautiful bow.

As a result, you will get an improvised organza "candy" filled with fragrant petals. Here is another way to make a sachet pendant from Scottish fabric:

Fold the fabric in half, aligning the checkered pattern, mark the crease line with a pin and straighten the slices;
Turn the fabric and apply glue along the sides from the top to the crease line;
once again fold the fabric and press the sides so that they are glued together;
In the resulting bag pour an aromatic dry mixture;
tie the neck of the bag with a cord and tie it to a knot;
make a loop from the same cord and glue it on the back of the bag.
