Make Your Own Fragrance Sachets

I was given a couple of fragrance sachets for Christmas, and it reminded me that this item used to be a staple I always had on standby in case I needed a donation for our local school or church charity sale.

They are extremely simple to make, and you can even make your own fragrance insert! Or you can buy potpourri or dried herbs from your local craft shop.

Fabrics & Notions

The best fabric is something that can breathe, so the heavenly scent can escape and fragrance whatever it is near. Pure fabrics like cottons are great, but you can even use muslin or cheesecloth. And as each sachet is fairly small, you can even raid your own leftover fabric pile, or check out the remnants bin at your fabric store for some great buys.

I think a nice size for a sachet is 12cm or 5" square (when finished), so for each sachet you will need 2 pieces of fabric measuring 6" square, which allows for a half inch seam all around (in metric, your squares should be 15cm which allows for a 1.5cm seam all around).

For the filling, you can either buy pre-prepared dried scented herbs or potpourri, or make your own.  You can make your own by drying fragrant herbs and flowers such as rose, lavender, thyme, etc, and just pep them up with a little Essential Oil.

A method I have used successfully is sawdust or fine softwood. In Australia, one brand of kitty litter is actually sawdust, and I have used this (clean of course!) with a few drops of Essential Oil mixed and crumbled through. Allow it to dry for a few hours before placing in your sachet. A nice cheap alternative if you don't have fragrant flowers in your garden or it is winter!

To Make Up

It couldn't be simpler. Sew most of the way around your square, leaving only a large enough gap so you can insert the dry fragrant filler. Turn the right way around and iron. Then just insert your filler and hand sew the open seam closed.

Decorating Your Sachet

If your fabric is a little plain, it is easy to jazz up your sachet so it looks more expensive. Why not try one of these ideas:

• Tie a matching (or contrasting) ribbon around it as if you were wrapping a Christmas gift
• When sewing the seams together, insert some piping between the seam and stitch in place
• Sew or glue on some appliqués or sparkly bits (such as sequins)
• If you only have tiny scraps of fabric available, why not make a patchwork sachet
• If you are very clever (or your sewing machine is), you could embroider some words such as the person's name or "Mom" on the fabric before sewing together
• You could insert a loop of fabric at one of the corners before sewing the sachet together so that the sachet can be hung over a coat hanger and used to scent a closet space.

The options are endless, and limited only by your own imagination. So why not have a try today!

Smell of Camphor, Fragrance of Jasmine (DVD) $18.55 Banned from making films for over twenty years by Iran's Post-Revolutionary Censor Board, Bahman Farmanara returns with SMELL OF CAMPHOR, FRAGRANCE OF JASMINE, a deeply inspiring meditation on existence and death. Farmanara plays Bahman Farjami, a director in his mid-50s who continues to mourn his recently deceased wife. While driving to visit her grave one morning, he picks up a distraught young woman, who turns out to be carrying a stillborn child with her. When he gets to the graveyard, the day quickly turns worse. It appears that a mix-up has occurred and the plot Bahman has reserved for himself, adjacent to his wife's grave, has been mistakenly occupied. Distraught and confused, Bahman visits his doctor only to discover that if he doesn't quit smoking cigarettes, he won't be living much longer. To try to make sense of his demise and the effect it will have on those closest to him, Bahman decides to stage and film his own funeral. But when the morning comes to shoot the morbid recreation, it appears that his own time has come, sparking a realization that teaches Bahman a powerful lesson once and for all. Deftly incorporating his own experiences, Farmanara's personal essay reverberates with a sincerity that most films never achieve.DVD Features:Region (unknown)Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33Additional Release Material: Original Theatrical TrailerInteractive Features: Interactive Menus Scene Access

Pure Floral Incense 18 Fragrance Sampler: K $5.85 These are hand rolled incense sticks that contain no toxic or artificial materials. Delicate scents from fragrant woods, flowers, herbs, spices, resins, barks and premium quality essential oils. The Finest Natural Ingredients Auroshikha's quality is based, first and foremost, on the selection of the finest natural ingredients to create the finest incense anywhere in the world. The master French Perfumer who has been in charge of quality control for more than 25 years carefully sources these ingredients. Whether using Mysore Sandalwood, or Pine from the Himalayas, Lavender from France of the finest Patchouli from Singapore, he has worked hard to locate the best sources from the best locations around the world to create an extraordinary fragrance in each case. All ingredients also meet the stringent guidelines established by the International Fragrance Association, Geneva, Switzerland. Even items such as the bamboo sticks on which the incense is rolled are subjected to the careful scrutiny of the Auroshikha quality control team. Auroshikha uses fragrant woods, barks, herbs, and essential oils to create the most extraordinary range of ''true to nature'' fragrances you will find anywhere in the world. Hand rolled in small batches for quality control Auroshikha incense is made using a natural bamboo stick onto which a paste made of jeegat (a natural bark), Sandalwood powder and charcoal is then hand-rolled. The fragrances, after being carefully blended to achieve just the right note, are then either mixed into the paste for the masala fragrances, or are impregnated into the paste through a hand-dipping process. Auroshikha uses no glue in its incense paste, and no cow dung, making it different in this regard than many incense varieties from around the world. The real secret to achieving the consistent quality that has made Auroshikha incense world famous is the careful blending of the fragrances personally carried out and overseen constantly by the master French perfumer, who brings his long experience and background and combines it with the ultimate ''art'' of quality fragrance-crafting. Other than Auroshikha, very few in the world have actually developed to this level of perfection. Guaranteed Non-Toxic The use of natural fragrances and the avoidance of using glue or cow dung have helped Auroshikha create non-toxic fragrances suitable for use as incense sticks in enclosed spaces. Auroshikha has had its products tested by an independent testing laboratory in India, and another in Europe, to ensure that they do not contain any heavy metals and are certified non-toxic. No other incense manufacturer we know of goes to this length to ensure the safety of its product. Auroshikha is proud to stand behind its products as being guaranteed non-toxic based on these test results. Village Cottage Industry The incense sticks are hand-rolled in the traditional manner and then packaged by Indian villagers, who have developed a real cott

Sacred Luxuries: Fragrance, Aromatherapy, and Cosmetics in Ancient Egy $34.99 The art of modern fragrance-making owes much to practices developed in ancient Egypt. The Egyptians attached great importance to perfumes and cosmetics, which men and women wore to make themselves attractive and alluring, to restore vitality and good health, and as a means of venerating the gods and of negotiating a passage to the realm of the hereafter. In this lavishly illustrated, oversized book, Lise Manniche looks at the role played by scents and cosmetics in ancient Egyptian society and discusses their preparation -- in some cases providing actual recipes.pManniche details three categories of ingredients used by the Egyptians to make fragrances: plants, including cardamom, cinnamon, saffron, and mint; gums and resins, particularly myrrh and frankincense; and oils and fats ranging from almond oil to ox fat. In order (for a scent) to achieve fame, Manniche writes, the finished product had to have an aura of rarity, of exclusiveness, and of the divine. The more exotic the ingredients, the more valued the commodity; the more exquisite its presentation, the greater the appeal. In this way, the visual and olfactory arts combined to make small objects of the greatest luxury appreciated not only in Egypt, but all over the ancient world.pDrawing on Arabic and other sources, Manniche explores the application of perfumes in ritual and on social occasions, and examines the erotic connotations of scent in Egyptian art and poetry. Fragrant remedies, the central element in ancient medicine, are fully discussed. Finally, she investigates the widespread use of cosmetics, as revealed in wall paintings and painted sculptures.pThe book features a hundred color photographs, taken by WernerForman, of objects in the world's most celebrated museum collections. Exquisite cosmetic containers in the form of birds and animals, reliefs representing kings and priests perfuming images of deities, and lifelike mummy masks displaying make-up are among the images represented.pDuri@A~¸Që…ÿ¾Úð
