How to Make a Sachet for Kids
Sachets are small cloth bags that are filled with dried herbs or potpourri. They emit a wonderful scent and are usually placed in clothing drawers, closets and other locations to freshen the air. Making sachets is one of the easiest and quickest craft projects to undertake and most of the tools are common household items. This project is also suitable for young children since it requires no advanced skills or dangerous tools.
