I’ve had this quick craft on my to-do list for months.  I actually ordered my supplies at the same time I ordered the decor for my Autumn Mantel I shared last month! Every year I make my own Christmas presents for family and friends and this year DIY Lavender Sachets are my go-to gift for the ladies! They are elegant and so easy to make!

Supplies

fabric-preferably a linen with a tight weave
coordinating thread
dried lavender (I used the premium grade from Save On Crafts)

To begin cute a 12″ by 6″ rectangle of fabric.  I used some leftover from the pillows I made for the master bedroom.  I love this “fancy” Schumacher fabric!

Fold the fabric in half inside out and secure with pines (you can obviously see I didn’t cut mine straight-oops!)

Sew a seam around the open ends leaving about 2″ open on one side. Turn right side out.

I made a funnel out of some scrap cardstock and used that to fill my sachet with the dried lavender flowers until mostly full.

Fold open seams inward and machine or hand sew shut.

That’s it! You can easily make one in ten minutes or produce in mass in an hour session. I tied two with a satin ribbon and I think it’s going to make a lovely gift this Christmas!

  1. What a great idea! I was wondering how much lavender was required to fill the couple sachets you made? Just an estimate would be great, so that way I know how much to order 🙂 Thank you!

    1. Hi Katie,

      I’d guess it was about 1-1.5 cups of dried lavender per sachet. Hope that helps!

  2. I love this idea! These would be great gifts. Plus, it gives me a reason to take my sewing machine out again. I think that homemade gifts are the best. I don’t like shopping for stuff. So, these would be so neat to try.

    1. Sharon it’s like you’re reading my mind-I love thoughtful homemade gifts anyday over something more generic!! (And I had to dust off my machine too when I pulled it out to make these!) Have a great weekend!

  3. What a great idea! I have some dried lavender from this year’s harvest, so this is perfect!

    1. I’m so jealous of you herb harvest Jessi! My lavender didn’t last but 3 weeks this year-next year it’s containers for sure!

  4. Hi Melissa,

    I love these, in fact I was looking for a way to make them. They are definitely great gift ideas, I’ve even seen people use them in place of dryer sheets.

    Glad to be contributing with you at Pretty Handy Girl!
