my lovely lilac lifter: a scented sachet diy

Not to be a squealer but…my munchkin is a criminal, a thief, a pirate!

The adorable little crook plundered most of the lilacs from the building around the corner (with more than a little help from daddy) and majestically presented them to yours truly, I am so proud!

To commemorate my little villain’s first crime I decided to create a trespassing-treasure:

Lovely lilac lifter scent sachets!

Create some from your own lil’ scoundrel’s booty in minutes:

First, hang your blooms upside down and let them dry out for at least 2 weeks.

Once they are completely moisture free & crunchy, snag some funky scraps & coordinating ribbon.

Remove the dried buds from the stems & set aside.

Chop out a small piece of fabric.

Fold right sides facing & stitch together leaving one end open for filling.

chop off any excess fabric & turn right side out

Fill with the lovely scented buds.

Fold the raw edges of the open end inside, pop in a loop of ribbon & stitch closed.

Top-stitch all the way around the edge if desired.

et voila! A lovely kidlet crime commemorating memory sachet!

Pop them over your hangers or simply in a drawer & enjoy the sweet the scent of thievery!
