A super simple idea for lavender sachets—ready in just a few minutes

The lavender is blooming in our garden, and there’s so much of it that it’s a real joy. A few days ago, I harvested the first flowers—for lavender sachets that I want to put in the closet.

But since I’m not really in the mood for sewing right now, I had a very simple idea this morning for a different way to do it. I’d like to show you how here.

The steps:

• Harvest the lavender and let it dry—either laid flat or hung with the flowers facing down
• Once it’s completely dry, you can easily shake the flowers loose. I start by filling a screw-top jar with them.
• Then all you need to do is fill empty, long, narrow tea bags (made of paper) with them. You can find these at the supermarket or drugstores. They cost around 1 euro on average.
• Fill the bags with the dried lavender flowers and seal them either with tape or a staple.
• Now you can place them in a cabinet or even hang them up.

Have fun making your own!

Here are a few photos to help you understand:


Here’s what the tea bags look like.



Here, I simply sealed the bag with tape. This way, it can easily be placed in the closet or taped to the inside of the closet door.

Great idea, @Moni :)

I love the smell of lavender.
It’s really pleasant for my nose, which is sensitive to smells.

Marlene, lavender works great against moths, especially in closets. Flies don’t like it either. I’m going to put some of these little bags in my kitchen cabinets, too.
