Easy DIY Lavender-Scented Bags

By Maura in Natural Homemade Ideas

lavender essential oil

Lavender is one of the most popular essential oils and for good reason – it’s versatile with many great benefits. Today, I’ll show you how to make DIY lavender-scented bags so you can add this calming scent to your drawers.

With a little dried lavender potpourri and lavender essential oil, you’ll be surprised at just how easy to make these calming lavender-scented bags are. There’s no sewing involved either!

You won’t believe how easy these simple DIY Lavender-Scented Bags are to make - no sewing required! With a little lavender essential oil, they’re perfect for freshening up any drawer and make wonderful homemade gifts too! this idea now...

What You’ll Need to Make Lavender-Scented Bags:

  • lavender essential oil
  • dried lavender leaves and flowers – I use mine from my gardens, but you can order online
  • small organza bags – you can get these at a dollar store or order online.  There are multiple options here)

I clipped many of my lavender plants to make dried bouquets of lavender this fall. I used some of these to make my lavender-scented bags.  If you have lavender plants at your house, even in winter you can find dried flowers and leaves on the plants that you can bring inside and make a potpourri out of.  

Take off the needle-like leaves and flowers and place them in a bowl. Even doing this smells wonderful!

The lavender oil stays on the plant for a long time, even when it’s dried, it smells wonderful. To boost that aroma though, I like to add a few drops of lavender essential oil to the dried potpourri.  

Mix that around a bit and put about a half a cup full in your organza bags. Close the bag and that’s it – your lavender-scented bags are done!

I like to use mine as an underwear drawer potpourri sachet.  You can easily boost the scent of these after some time by simply adding another drop or 2 of lavender essential oil.  

These easy DIY lavender-scented bags make wonderful homemade gifts too. Because they’re so easy, you can even get the kids to help. With Mother’s Day just around the corner, this would make a a perfect gift for Mom or Grandma. You could also gift these as baby shower favors or even include with a “Get Well” card. These lavender-scented bags are a wonderful way to boost someone’s day. You won’t believe how easy these simple DIY Lavender-Scented Bags are to make - no sewing required!

      I have heard so much about essential oils but have never tried them. I’m thinking I need to give you tutorial a go and give essential oils a try.

      We used to have a lavender bush in our front yard. I do miss looking at those pretty purple flowers.

      Lavender is one of my wife’s favorite scents. This would be good for the kids to make for her for Mother’s Day!

      I love the idea of making my own DIY Lavender scented bags, these could be placed in a car for a wonderful scent or maybe in a room for relaxing as I have heard great things about lavender being a scent that relaxes people.

      How long does the smell of one batch last? How many days before it starts fading?

        An intense smell lasts a few days. A lingering smell lasts over a month. I add a drop or 2 of oil to my bag monthly to keep the scent strong.
