>•1/4 Cup Lavender Flowers
>•24" White Satin Ribbon, 1"Width
>
>Additional Supplies:
>•Scissors
>•Iron
>•Sewing Machine
>•White Thread
>•Fusible Web
>•Using a sewing machine will be a great advantage when making these
>sachets.
>However, you will be able to make them using a needle and thread or
>fusible
>web to bind them together.
>
>Instructions
>1. Fold the lace square in half and cut it. Fold each half in half again
>and
>cut them. You will use only 3 of the 4 pieces.
>2. Fold each lace section in half, making a rectangle shape and iron it.
>Sew
>one short side and one long side. With one side folded over, sewing the
>others
>should make a tube shape with the top open. If you don't have a sewing
>machine, you may stitch the sides by hand or insert fusible web and iron
>them
>together.
>3. Fold the lace tubes inside out, so the seam is on the inside. Stuff
>each
>one with equal amounts of lavender and rose petals until they are plump.
>You
>may want to mix the lavender and rose petals in a bowl before stuffing
>the
>sachets.
>4. Turn the top section in to create a finished edge. Insert a small
>piece of
>fusible web and apply a hot iron to seal the end.
>5. Find the center of the ribbon and place it under one of the small
>pillow
>shaped sachets. Stack the other two on top of it and tie the ribbon
>around all
>three. Knot the ribbon on top and tie a bow. Trim the ends of the ribbon
>in a
>V shape.

>Here's another potpourri recipe I've been saving.
>
>ROSE JAR
>
> Gather rose petals each day, until you have an ample amount to
>make
>your potpourri.
> Place on a screen and let dry.
> Place all dried petals in a jar with a tight fitting lid. Add 5
>drops of Rose oil or
> Geranium oil and 5 drops of Glycerine.
> Keep adding dried petals from time to time. Other fragrant
>flowers,
>such as
> honeysuckle or orange blossoms, can be added if you like. When
>the
>jar is full, sprinkle
> a little salt over the petals.
> Shake the jar every day for two weeks and then add one fourth
>ounce
>of each of the
> following: Orris root powder, nutmeg, cinnamon and allspice. Keep
>the jar tightly
> covered.
>
> Rose oil, geranium oil and glycerin can be purchased from
>druggists
>and health food
> stores. Orris root from craft stores.
