Herb Closet or Drawer Squares

Herb Closet or Drawer Squares

Place handfuls of each of dried lavender flowers, rosemary, one tablespoon each crushed cloves and small pieces of dried lemon peel together. Sew small cotton squares about four by four inches; leaving a space open. Stuff with herb mixture. Tie several together and wrap in tissue paper tied with raffia. Attach a note explaining
that these will protect clothes from insects and can be placed in drawers, closets or boxes.

Lavender Sachet

Ingredients:

1/2 pound lavender flowers

1/2 ounce dried mint

1/2 ounce dried thyme

1/4 ounce ground caraway

1/4 ounce ground cloves

1 ounce sea salt

Detach the lavender flowers and leaves from the stems and mix with the other ingredients. Place in small bags made of silk, unbleached cotton or cotton with die-fast color. Sew shut and tie with a ribbon if desired. You can be creative with this mixture and sew heart shapes that can then be decorated with miniature ribbon roses and ribbon.
