These lavender blended sachets are my favorite and I use them everywhere. I place them in drawers and in closets. I also hang them on the stairs, tuck a few in my pillow case, and even have a few hanging on the front of the fridge. Sometimes when I give a gift, I toss one sachet in the box with a few anise stars and cinnamon sticks. It makes the package smell wonderful!
Dried Herbs
- Lavender (1 cup)
- Spearmint (1/4 cup)
- Chamomile (2 tablespoons)
- Basil (1 teaspoon)
General Supplies
- Bowl or Plastic Bag
- Cotton Muslin or Organdy (also called organza) Bags (4 — 1” x 2”)
- Ribbon or tie (if the muslin bag doesn’t have one)
Step 1: Mix Herbs
Mix the herbs in a bowl or toss them into a plastic baggie and shake then up a bit.
Step 2: Fill Bags
Fill each bag so that it’s ample with herbs, but not so full that it’s gonna split at the
seems. Tie each one shut.
Step 3: Place Bags
Find those special nooks and crannies around your home that need some added lavender punch and place the bags there. Or give them to a friend. Use them for whatever need
speaks to you.
Notes:
I don’t usually get out the measuring cups to make the herb mix, but I list measurements here to give you an idea on proportions of herbs I use.
I usually get organdy bags on clearance so their sizes tend to vary. Many people make their own out of cotton muslin and tie it shut with a pretty ribbon.
Sometimes I may add a tumbled stone to each bag, such as rose quartz, for an added punch. If you wish to do the same, just make sure the stone has been cleansed before you drop it into the sachet bag.

Do you have a favorite herb you’d love to use in a sachet, but aren’t sure about herbs that would compliment it well? Or do you have any herbal recipes for sachets that you’d
like to share? Please post those and any other thoughts here.
