A few months ago, I found little scented sachets at Target, bought them and loved them! However, throwing them in the trash after they longer “smelled” made me a little sad; they were too cute to toss in the trash, yet lacked the option to “refill”. So, I decided I’d make my own; ones that can be refilled.
These are filled with scented baking soda and are great to keep in diaper bags, around changing tables, in dresser drawers, or in laundry hampers. I wish you could smell them, they are so delightful and the whole changing area smells so fresh and clean! They also make for wonderful baby shower gifts; even when tucked inside a gift box and wrapped you can smell them from the outside of the package.
I created a quick tutorial for any of you who may be interested in making your own. They’re very easy and come together quite quickly! Each sachet bag can be easily refilled with inserts and the directions for the inserts are also included in the tutorial. Both the sachet and the insert can be made from a very small scrap of fabric.
I used Arm & Hammer’s Odor Eliminator to fill the inserts and so far they’ve lasted for over a month! If you didn’t want to throw the insert away, you can easily use a seam ripper and open the insert, refill and re-close.
I hope you all had wonderful weekends! Ours was busy and full! We are anxiously awaiting the arrival of our new niece/cousin and can’t wait to report back with pictures of her in the next few days! Our family covets your prayers for Erika, Chance and baby Sloane, that the Lord will deliver her healthy and safe! I know I keep saying it, but I absolutely cannot wait to hold that little bundle in my arms!
