DIY Dried Lavender Sachet

DIY dried lavender sachet

For the last few years our lavender has been growing in nice and full. This last summer we cut back the bushes and I saved a ton to dry. Keep reading to see how I made DIY dried lavender sachets.

A couple years ago we planted rows of lavender one either side of the walkway that goes from the front to the side yard.

This past summer the bushes were finally large enough to save some of the stems.

Cutting the stems was a nice way to get out in the evening and enjoy the summer twilight.

We ended up composting some of what we cut simply because our drying space is limited.

Make sachets

Cut lavender stems.

Cut the stems as low as possible without getting into the fresh green. This is definitely the most difficult task!

Create small bouquets by tying twine around the stems.

To make this DIY extra easy I bought small cotton bags from Michael’s. They are in the wedding reception aisle along side other supplies for favors.

Gift give your homemade sachets!

  1. These are super cute and would be a great gift for anyone. I have lots of lavender in flower at the moment and recently made some lavender simple syrup which I drink with bubbly water. You won’t believe how good this is, especially if you add some lemon juice.

  2. Lavender is so lovely and I love all of your ideas on how to use it in your home! Those sachets would be wonderful on holiday packages! Thanks for the inspiration! Pinning now!

  3. Marie, I loved these dried lavender sachets and have chosen as a feature on Whimsy Home Wednesday! I am so excited to share your how to. I have had this project on my list of need to do, but had not gotten around to it. Thank you for sharing, it has pushed me to complete this project soon!
