Closet Hanger Sachets – easy to make, use and give away

by Penny Keay

Closet Sachets to hang from your closet rods or hangers are an easy to make item and if you are creative you can certainly come up with some cute and unique designs. Remember these sachets can be placed anywhere. They don’t have to be just in a closet.

If you have a sewing machine, you can easily make little bags out of scrap material, inexpensive ribbons (if you are making drawstring bags) and then fill it with your own homemade potpourri.

Or, you can use Organza bags or Cotton Muslin bags. If you don’t have any scrap fabric many fabric stores or craft stores have ‘fat quarters’ – pieces of fabric that aren’t enough in quantity for much of anything but for use by quilters or crafters. They are usually pretty reasonably priced and come in an abundance of colors.

These are simple to make and you can easily include a small bottle of essential oils to freshen the sachets as the scenting diminishes or when giving them as a gift.

For the Closet Sachets you can use regular potpourri mix if you want a floral one or make your own out of inexpensive items found in your local grocery and discount stores.

Pine Chips or Pine needles (if you have your own trees), Cedar Chips are readily available.

Orange and lemon rind – Make some Orange or lemon Zest strips – let them dry thoroughly.

Cinnamon Sticks and Clove buds are in the spice aisle.

Simply by using any quantities of the above items mix and stir them together and place in a glass jar.

Then add several drops of essential oils to complement your blend – Pine needle, Cedarwood, Orange, Lemon or any citrus, Cinnamon Leaf, Clove bud or any others you want to add.

We suggest using fiber bits or aroma beads that you pre-scent to add to your sachets. These give it a bit more scent lasting power.

Let them blend for several days. Then when you are ready, stuff your little bags, stitch them shut or draw the string closed and ‘ta da!’ you have some very easy to make Closet Hanger sachets.

Sachets can be used in a variety of places. When storing winter or summer clothing, add a sachet to the box, bin or closet. Use them in the area of the garbage bins or in the laundry room.

Tuck them in dresser drawers, glove boxes in the car. We use them in our Safe or Safe deposit box. I don’t like the smell of stored papers so I stick one in our filing cabinets.

If you have unique places that you place your scented sachets – pass it on.

Have fun and be creative.
