As you have probably figured out by now, Jim and I love going on outdoor adventures. Unfortunately, these little escapades usually result in a not-so-sweet-smelling vehicle – So I decided to sew up a fragrant lavender sachet for my car to ward off any unpleasant scents.
It takes very little time to make and requires supplies you can probably find around your home!
Materials:
- about 1 tablespoon dried lavender buds
- two 3×3-inch pieces of fabric
- scissors
- sewing thread
- sewing needle
Directions:
- Cut two identically-shaped hearts from fabric pieces
- Align the fabric hearts on top of one another and use a running stitch to sew them together
- Before finishing the stitch, fill heart with lavender buds and sew it closed
- Attach a loop of thread for easy hanging
This little heart packs a big punch! Now I get a nice waft of fresh lavender every time I hop in my car … instead of any lingering smells from our last adventure …
Enjoy!
P.S. Not good with needles? You can purchase one of these lovely lavender sachets right here!
What. No Mints? 
Love this! I tend to put herbal mixes in tea bags and put in drawers or bathroom but the heart is so cute I have to try it out.
Good idea for the grandkids to make for gifts.

Love this! Such a simple idea but aren’t they often the best? :)
Think I’ll make some, maybe even try star shapes, for Christmas.
Thanks so much for sharing with us.
Thanks for stopping by Nina! I agree, sometimes the simplest ideas are the most wonderful :)

Where would I find lavender??
Hey Liz! I actually purchased mine at a local grocery store – Lavender buds may also be available at craft stores and you can definitely purchase some online :)
