Handmade Gift Challenge: Scented Burlap Drawer Sachets

Craft Basics· Winter

Eeeeks!  Thanksgiving is in 5 days and before we know it, we’ll be sitting around the Christmas tree unwrapping presents!  How exciting is that?  With the excitement comes a little stress too, huh?  What will you buy for your sister?  What will you make for your mom?  Oh my goodness — what about Uncle Bob?  So much to do and so little time.

Today I’m sharing a super easy handmade gift idea (primarily for women).  Clean Cotton scented Burlap Drawer Sachets.  They’re super easy to make, smell heavenly and they’re homemade!  Woo Hoo!

Scented-Burlap-Sachet-Crafts-UnleashedSupplies needed to make your own scented burlap sachets:

  • Burlap ($1.47)
  • Sewing Machine (or needle and thread)
  • Rice – approximately 1 cup for 4 sachets (on hand)
  • Clean Cotton Scented Oil or oil of choice ($4.17)
  • Reclosable Bags (on hand or $1.97)

Optional Supplies:

  • Stencils ($1.57)
  • Acrylic Paint ($0.77)
  • Foam Dabbers ($2.97)

Total: $12.92 or less for 4 sachets or $3.23 each!

Step 1:  Cut your burlap.  I cut mine into 4×4 squares.  That allowed for some wiggle room when trimming after they were sewn together.
Scented-Burlap-Sachet-Crafts-Unleashed-3Step 2:  Stencil your sachet.  This step is optional, but I thought I would add a little red festivity to the mix.  You could use a monogram to personalize them as well.  The possibilities are endless.  And yes, that is a cookie stencil {giggle}.  I loved the design and said, “why not?”  Anywho, you’re only going to stencil one square of burlap, unless you want to stencil both sides.  I only stenciled one side on mine.
Scented-Burlap-Sachet-Crafts-Unleashed-4Step 3:  Sew your sachet.  You’re going to sew three of the four sides.  If you don’t have a sewing machine, consider stitching it with embroidery floss.
Scented-Burlap-Sachet-Crafts-Unleashed-5Step 4:  Add scented rice.  Place some rice in a reclosable bag and add desired amount of scented oil.

Scented-Burlap-Sachet-Crafts-Unleashed-6You’ll then want to add the rice to your burlap sachet.  I used paper to create a funnel of sorts to pour the scented rice into the bag.  I didn’t measure it, but I’d say it was about 1/4 cup of rice per sachet.

Scented-Burlap-Sachet-Crafts-Unleashed-7Step 5: Sew the sachet closed and you’re done!

Scented-Burlap-Sachet-Crafts-Unleashed-8Wrap in a pretty bow and it’s ready to be gifted!  A heavenly scented sachet with a rustic twist.  Without the rice, you could use these as coasters too!  Another great gift idea.

Scented-Burlap-Sachet-Crafts-Unleashed-2Happy crafting, sweet friends!

    Hi Kelly! These are absolutely adorable! I was wondering how long they will be scented. Also, is there any way to re-scent them once they are sewn together? I was thinking that there might be a cute way to leave one side enclosed with something other than thread…maybe a zipper? That wouldn’t be as cute though…
