Video: How To Make Sweet-Smelling Sachets

Sachets filled with dried flowers like lavender are one of our favorite ways to incorporate the garden into everyday life– even in the unlikeliest of places. These conical, herb-filled pillows can be used to perfume a drawer of clothing, to scent a pair of otherwise-stinky shoes, or to refresh a stack of towels in the linen closet. They add an element of aromatherapy to parts of the home that need a little pick-me-up, and they can even be placed in a suitcase to bring the scent of home along with you on a trip.
