Making your home beautifully fragranced doesn’t mean splurging on high-priced products. You can transform your space into a flood of freshness for a fraction of the cost and with a little DIY-scented sachet. And guess what? The type of essential oils you should use – especially if they’re the ones from HBNO – can help you feel good and even lift your mood using just that little drop. I want to share some of my favorite ways of making these aromatic sachets as simple as they are pleasing.

Why Use DIY Scented Sachets?

What if you open a drawer and catch the burst of lavender in your face or walk into your closet and breathe in the scent of fresh eucalyptus? Little but mighty scented sachets make every space smell amazing. Not only that: when you make them yourself, you control the ingredients and scents, meaning you can make them to your tastes and without artificial additives.

I made my sachets when I realized that natural, essential oil-based scents were so a whole lot better than synthetic sprays! There’s something so lovely about scenting something you made with your own hands, and let me tell you, there is nothing more satisfying than knowing that it was something that you made.

Materials You’ll Need

Ready to get started? Here’s a list of what you’ll need to make your own DIY essential oil-scented sachets:

• Small fabric pouches: They’re available to purchase or you can sew your own. I like using clothes made of lightweight fabrics, such as cotton or linen, so the fragrance can escape.
• Dried herbs or fillers: Dried lavender buds, rose petals, rice (or unscented potpourri).
• HBNO essential oils: Choose your favorite scents. Chamomile, Peppermint, and Cedarwood (among hundreds of other choices) are all simply fantastic and offered by HBNO.
• Baking soda (optional): Absorbs odors and releases that essential oil aroma slowly.
• A dropper: To control the amount of oil you use.

Step-by-Step Guide to Making DIY Scented Sachets.

Choose Your Filler Base

Choose a base that can hold the essential oils well too. The perfect item for a calming effect is dried lavender buds, and rice is a great neutral option that can be scented how you so please. I used a mix of rice and dried rose petals once that I think was both elegant and aromatic.

Add Essential Oils

In a dropper add 10 to 20 drops of your chosen HBNO essential oil to the filler. Try the Lavender Essential Oil from HBNO to help calm. Sweet Orange Essential Oil is the way to go if you want a great energizing boost. Cedarwood Essential Oil will keep a closet smelling fresh and woodsy if you’re scenting a closet. Best to mix well to make sure you’ve spread the fragrance around evenly.

Assemble Your Sachets

Turn your scented filler into fabric pouches, and put it in there, leaving a bit of space at the top to tie it up with. As you are crafting, you can decorate the sachets yourself with ribbons or small charms. I love to make mine feel, um, ‘mine’ and my friends ask me all the time if they can take one home!

Seal and Let Them Sit

Filling and sealing the sachets allows the scent to fully infuse for 24 hours. I promise this is worth the wait!

Where to Use Your DIY Scented Sachets

When your aromatics have been created now, where should you put them? Here are some of my favorite places to use scented sachets:

• Closets and Drawers: Keep your clothes smelly and fresh by tucking a sachet in your dresser drawers. I like to use HBNO’s Lemon Essential oil in my workout gear drawer as it makes for the most amazing burst of citrus freshness that is ever ready once I grab my gym clothes!
• Linen Cabinets: Place sachets among your towels and sheets to get a spa feeling. Imagine pulling out a towel, just slightly of eucalyptus after a long day, shooting pure bliss.
• Under Pillows: Calming scents such as Chamomile or Lavender Essential Oil can be used underneath your pillow to help lull you to sleep. When I started using these sachets my sleep improved dramatically, and now I treat myself to a nice fragrance as a way to end my day by unwinding time with my cozy pillow.
• In Your Car: If you use energizing scents like Peppermint Essential Oil, Scented sachets are quite a godsend when used in cars. They’re a good and easy way to make your air freshener a natural alternative to store-bought air fresheners.

Tips and Tricks for Long-Lasting Fragrance

• Refresh as Needed: As soon as your sachets lose scent, add a few more drops of essential oil. They smell as good as new, I refresh mine every month or so.
• Rotate Scents Seasonally: For summer use uplifting and citrusy oils such as HBNO’s Lime or Orange. For winter pick warm cosy scents like Cedarwood or Frankincense. It’s like having a home fragrance wardrobe!
• Store Extras in an Airtight Container: If you end up making more sachets than you’ll need, keep them in an airtight container to keep the fragrance until you’re ready to use them.
• DIY Sachets, My Personal Experience: However, the first time I made DIY-scented sachets for free, I was so surprised at how easy it was. Using HBNO’s Lemongrass Essential Oil was how I kicked it off because I needed my apartment to smell vibrant and uplifting. But it’s now a part of my routine life fragrance. My friends think my home smells so fresh and they all love that I can tell them how easy it is to make these sachets.
