Sasha aromatic with his hands

Fashion for these fragrant pads came to us fromFrance. Of course, in practically all countries dry spicy herbs, flowers and seeds were used to flavor the premises. But it was the French who not only came up with such fragrant bags, but gave them the name and turned the aroma sachet into a fashionable piece of furniture. Today this method of aromatization is popular also because everything is natural and "environmentally friendly" in fashion. What can you do: modern people are so detached from nature that they try in every way to compensate for this isolation by any available means. In addition, no one denies the special energy of plants (even dried plants), so these herbal pads and bags are also actively used as amulets and neutralizers of negative energy. And the last argument in favor of the sachet is the opportunity 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 an aromatic sachetalone, you will need dried herbs, flower petals, spicy seeds, spices and essential oils. All this must be placed in a pre-sewn pouch or make such a container in another way. Here is one of his 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 "candy" from organza, filled with fragrant petals. Here is another way of making sachet-suspension 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.
