Want to reuse pieces of wool? Make your own Floral/perfumed sachets!





Want to reuse pieces of wool? Make your own Floral/perfumed sachets!


Here is one best way to recycle bits & pieces (long enough ones) into a usable item.

Start with a basic foundation chain of 20 or 25 ch, depending on the length required. I have used double crochets with a chain in between to create the sides.
You have to stitch double the length of the required height. Once done fold it and stitch the 2 sides with single crochets or slip stitches. With out cutting off extend a chain and loop it in the corner to make a loop for hanging. You can also make a long chain and thread it through one of the top rows for a draw string.

Use this for keeping the camphor balls or floral scents inside your wardrobe. When using naphthalene balls or odonil, refreshners etc you can hang it out of reach for children.
