Getting Started

To use the sachet once it's complete, change your dried herb or flower mixture every few months. Popular ingredients to try are cinnamon, ginger, lemon, jasmine, rose petals, and even pine needles. You can also experiment with drying flowers and herbs on your own. Some of the methods you can use are air drying, pressing, using moisture-absorbing materials (borax, corn meal, or kitty litter), or even drying them in the microwave (although this method removes much of the scent as well as the moisture).
