For my project, I made two little lavender sachets using these sweet 3"x4" organza gingham bags from Pouch Mart and some dried lavender that I purchased at Pickity Place (a garden shop). I embossed the butterflies in black and colored them with Copics.
I stamped the sentiment punching it with a 1 3/4" circle and layering it off center to a punched scallop circle.
I adhered the sentiment to the bags with ScorTape to be sure it would stay on - and adhered the butterflies with a thick foam tape to add some dimension, curling the wings back a little around my finger. Then I added some rhinestones to the sentiment and the body of the butterflies.
Wouldn't these be lovely to tuck in a drawer (wrap in tissue to protect clothes from possible oil seepage) or to hang in a closet to keep it fresh smelling!

Fantastic project, Julia. I've always loved sachets. They take me back into a time when people lined their drawers with scented paper...a time gone by. Your little bags are just adorable. Such a great project for Mother's Day.

Very sweet little gift--love the butterflies.
Oh, Julia. these little bags remind me of when my mother would have my sister and I create sachet bags to put in our dresser draws. She was fanatical about smelling good all the time. Love the butterflies, They are so well done!
What a great idea; love your "sachets of many colors"! Thanks for sharing.
