Instructions

  • Start by gathering all your supplies. For each sachet you are making - with your scissors cut a 12" x 5" piece of canvas. (you will be folding the canvas in half to make a 6" x 5" sachet)

  • By simply pulling the edges of the canvas begin to fray the edges. This step is optional but I love how the edges look when they are frayed.

  • Discard the fabric you pulled off of the edges.

  • Fold the fabric up to create a 6" x 5" sachet. The fold will be on the bottom of the sachet.

  • Then color in the bow that is tied around the lavender stamp.

  • Unfold the canvas and with your hot glue gun, add glue around the top 6" x 5" section of the canvas cloth. This outline of glue will go above the fold.
    place glue from the glue gun around the perimeter of the fabric.
  • Nestle the lavender bag in the center of the top portion, in the center of the glue and fold the bottom 1/2 up to meet the top and press to seal.

  • With a hole puncher punch two holes at the top of the sachet. This is where the string will go.

  • The holes should be approximately 1" in from the edge of the sachet.
