We asked aromatherapist Olga Straganova about what a sachet is and how to use it correctly.

Sachets are the easiest way to make the things around us smell good. In the old days, a sachet was an indispensable attribute of the home of every self-respecting lady, a symbol of home and housekeeping. Usually sachets are small pillows or pouches filled with fragrant herbs, petals, sometimes even twigs, and spices. It was not forbidden to use it in a sachet aromatic oils, they kept the smell longer than dry flowers and made it more saturated.

Most often, sachets are used in closets with clothes - so your linen will always smell wonderful in spring. Most often, a sachet is simply put on a shelf, but the skill of a woman was considered the ability to give a sachet sophisticated look. So, the pillow can be sheathed with braid, fringe or lace, folded in a pile and tied with a silk ribbon. Some craftswomen sew a loop to the sachet - so it can be hung on a hanger, adding fragrance to a dress or coat.

In addition, by old belief, herb sachets are protective items that protect the home from bad people and evil spirits, as well as neutralize quarrels within the family. In this case, the sachets can be seen hanging at the entrance to the house or, for example, on the headboard of the matrimonial bed. The latter, moreover, contribute to relaxation, normalize sleep. People wore small bags of herbs around their necks (this can still be seen among some peoples) as a lucky talisman or amulet that drives away evil spells.

How to make a sachet

• In order to make an aromatic bag on our own, we need any natural fabrics that breathe. It could be cotton natural silk, linen, hemp, burlap, chintz or bamboo. Synthetic fabrics are not suitable for this purpose - the sachet will quickly lose its aroma.
  
• The form for a sachet can be absolutely any, from the simplest bag to original toy. If you make a sachet in the form of a pillow, then the traditional dimensions of such a pillow are 5 cm x 5 cm or 10 cm x 10 cm
  
• We sew the bags, leaving a small hole through which it can be turned inside out and stuffed.
  
• We select herbs, making sure that they are completely dried. Otherwise, your sachet will smell like mold. After the choice is made and the herbs are prepared, they are powdered or crushed very finely, then sifted through a sieve and mixed with honey.
  
• You can add essential oil to herbs, they are ideal to emphasize the strength and depth of the sachet aroma or inhale new life into an old mixture that has lost its fragrance. Drop a few drops of any plant essential oil that is included in the mixture and the smell of which you especially like.
  
• Fill the sachet with the finished mixture and sew it up, even if the sachet is in the shape of a bag, otherwise it will crumble. All! Now the sachet can be hung in the closet, in the car, put in a pillowcase, laid out or hung in any room. And you can give - it will be a wonderful sign of attention.

Aromatic sachets have long been used by housewives. A sachet is a small decorative pillow filled with solid aromatic herbs and dried flowers. They were traditionally placed in wardrobes next to clothes and bed linen and also at the head of the bed.

Now aromatic sachets are no longer hidden in cabinets, although this method of use is not outdated. This is a simple and wonderful way to scent the space around you: room, bathroom, closet or car.

Today, manufacturers offer many options for scented pads with scented blends. But, I am sure that it is much more pleasant to make an aromatic bag with your own hands, when you know exactly what is included in its filling.

Sachet scents should be chosen wisely and tastefully.

For linen it is better to use: dried oregano, dried lavender, mint, blackcurrant leaf, rose petals, orange peels, cinnamon sticks, clove stars, lemon. Thanks to them, clothes will always be fresh and fragrant.

Can be bought already ready mixes dried flowers for sachets (in stores you can find very interesting options, for example, with the smell of the sea).

In the nursery, it is best to hang an aromatic pillow where rose petals, sage grass, dill seeds, lavender flowers, chamomile, chamomile, lemon balm and sage soaked in essential oils are sewn up.

Verbena, geranium, rose petals and valerian are popular in the bedroom.

The aroma of lemon balm will bring you calm and tranquility, refresh, relieve headaches and give you a sound sleep.

The smell of citrus is more energizing, it may even prevent you from falling asleep, but it will wonderfully help you forget about the daily routine of a working day.

Coniferous smells of cedar, juniper or pine act as antiseptics, soften mood swings, and relieve heart pain.

Do not allow such fragrances as: jasmine, daffodils, lilies, lilies of the valley, bird cherry into the bedroom - no matter how much you like them, otherwise you have a chance to spend a lot of restless nights in the fight against headaches and nightmares.

The most popular scent is lavender. Firstly, it lasts for a long time, secondly, it drives away freeloaders such as moths, and thirdly, it has a very beneficial effect on our health, it has a calming effect, and relieves stress.

Fillers fragrant bag can be herbs with pleasant smells or natural plant extracts (essential oils). You yourself can create compositions, the aromas of which will permeate the space around you.

Scented sachets are easy to make with your own hands. I want to bring to your attention several types of aromatic sachets.

They are different in appearance, filling, as well as the materials from which they were sewn.

Let's start with a rectangular sachet, which you can decorate to your liking, but the materials are completely different.

I took an ordinary canvas for the bag itself, and used pink chintz and printed calico for decoration.

For the filling, I used a purchased aromatic sachet of dried flowers left after creation. You can use other natural ingredients: dried aromatic herbs, dried orange slices, coffee beans and even flavored tea, with a pleasant rich smell.

Let's start by cutting out the details of our bag: height 17 cm, width 13 cm.

I cut off decorative stripes by eye. I loosened the pink chintz along the lower edges, pulling out the longitudinal threads.

We put printed calico with roses on pink chintz, fasten everything with pins on both sides of the patterns, at an equal distance from bottom edge bag.

We sew our decorative strips along the lower and upper edges of the printed calico, and then we sew lower part bag.

We make sure that everything matches with us and we sew on the sides. We sew the formed corners of the bag obliquely and turn it inside out. We fold the upper edge and process it on a sewing machine.

If you have a very small bag filler, then it is better to sew an inner bag of a slightly smaller size, for example, from madapolam (French madapolam - by the name of the city of Madapolam in India, - a plain weave cotton fabric, smooth and hard to the touch, with a glossy surface ) or other very thin fabric.

Place the filler in the Madapolam bag, sew it up, and then put it in the main bag.

We tie the bag with either a ribbon or a linen rope and decorate it to your taste. I used foamiran. Here's what I got…

Now I want to talk about another type of aromatic sachet, when sawdust or unflavored tea is used in the filler with the addition of aromatic oils or cosmetic fragrance.

Here I decided to give the sachet the shape of pillows and decorate them with a satin ribbon.

From the materials I took yellow printed calico with a pattern and Madapolam: width-13 cm, length-15 cm.

Filler sawdust, which can be bought at any pet store.

Let's start with cutting out our pads.

Two cushions made of printed calico with a pattern and one made of yellow calico. We also cut a bag of Madapolam.

To begin with, we sew on sewing machine our bags, we leave free one side, which is narrower.

Now let's start creating our filler. We take a small amount of sawdust, which could approximately fit in our bag.

We put it in some container and add our aromatic oil or cosmetic fragrance there, no more than 5-7 drops. We do not drip everything at once, but 2 or 1 drop and mix to disperse the contents.

Instead of sawdust, you can use tea without aroma additives. I used sawdust and cosmetic fragrance.

We place our tasty-smelling sawdust in a Madapolam bag and sew it up, and then into the main pillow bag.

We fill only one pillow with aromatic sawdust, yellow color, and we will fill the other two with padding polyester.

Now we need to sew our pads so that the seams are not visible. We take a needle and thread and carefully sew it with a blind seam.

It remains to decorate our pillows with a satin ribbon.

We place our yellow pad in the middle, fix all the pads with hot glue, squeezing a little glue into the middle, and stack the pads on top of each other. We take a satin ribbon and wrap our pillows with it, gluing its ends with hot glue in the center of the top pillow.

From the same satin ribbon we make roses and decorate pillows with them.

To create a harmonious and beautiful composition I used ready-made leaves from artificial flowers. Complemented with white ready-made flowers.

Nothing even came out...

A handmade aroma bag can be filled with the aroma that you collect yourself.

Think about what you prefer most of all, what fruits, flowers, herbs your family loves - in this way, without much difficulty you will create the desired composition.

Such fabric bags also serve as a wonderful decoration of the premises, a source of pleasant aroma and freshness, as well as an excellent means of aromatherapy. DIY aromatic pouches also can become a good gift for your family and friends.

Creative success to you!

What natural aromas to use at home and how to make sachets at home are interrelated questions. Indeed, to create comfort in the house, it is not at all necessary to constantly buy expensive bouquets of fresh flowers. You can fill the room with a pleasant and relaxing aroma with the help of a sachet of dry plants.

How to make sachets at home from dry plants

Sachet is a word of French origin, it translates as "pouch". Several centuries ago, rich Parisians hung in their homes small silk bags filled with fragrant herbs or flower petals. This tradition has survived to this day.

good flavor in the house was valued at all times and now it is also relevant. That is why today, when you come to visit someone, you can often see miniature bags in the kitchen, in the bedroom or in the living room. Moreover, for each separate room, a unique collection with a special aroma has been selected. And most often, sachets for the home are made by hand, since it is the hostess who can choose the aromas for the temperament of each family member and common rooms.

How to make a sachet yourself?

You need to take a small bag (sack) from natural fabric. It can be burlap, linen or cotton. This fabric is well breathable, so that the fragrant aroma will freely spread throughout the house. You can buy a bag ready-made, or even better, sew a sachet with your own hands, choosing the color and size according to your preferences.

Do-it-yourself sachet fillers

What to use as filling? Herbs can be collected by yourself and then dried in a shady area. For those who do not have such an opportunity, it is recommended to buy ready-made raw materials. Dried citrus peels, coffee beans and other products with a strong persistent odor will also serve as an excellent filler. But it is important to remember that some of them can cause allergic reactions.

It is advisable to mix the components for the sachet in a large container, so it is easier to adjust the aroma and amount of herbs. For men's sachets, it is better to use spicy fillings, and for women, more delicate flavors. For example, for men fit a combination of basil, lemongrass and birch bark - three fairly strong components, and women will like a sachet of peony petals, roses and mint leaves. If the herbs or inflorescences are too large, then they should be crushed a little so that they give off a better smell.

Fragrant sachets can be used and placed anywhere: in the car, in the closet, in the kitchen, in the children's room or in the bathroom. For the bedroom, a “calm” mixture of rose petals, lavender and yarrow is suitable. And by the way, do not forget that some additives in the sachet can also be used as mosquito repellent plants.

But to support the immune system during the revelry colds rosemary, thyme, mint and lemon balm will help. For the kitchen - lavender, rose petals and sage. In the nursery, you can leave a bag with chamomile, lavender and rose petals.

Want to find your own scent? Then you have to experiment a little. No matter how it turns out, the house will still be filled with coziness, comfort and an unforgettable aroma. We hope these ideas on how to make sachets at home are helpful and make it easy for you to find natural flavors for yourself.
