Woven lavender sachet



This Woven Lavender Sachet is for all my crafty comrades, who I've been neglecting lately here's a easy craft project that smells heavenly! 






For the Braided lavender sachet you'll need lavender (fresher the better) and 1/8" or 1/4" ribbon ( I used 1/4" grosgrain ribbon) and scissors.





First gather an odd number here I used seven pieces of lavender and lay them down with the bottom of the flowers even. Any clumps below this line simply remove.



Then knot the ribbon just below the flowers.




Carefully bend the stems over the mass of flowers. Since we will be weaving the stems you want to make sure the stems are spaced evenly all the way around. Don't worry if a stem breaks off ( I had a broken stem) just try to weave the first go around over the broken stem. Once you've weaved a couple of rounds the broken stem should stay in place.




Just be careful when weaving you don't break the stem also be aware of your tension on the ribbon, you do want to make sure the flowers are contained especially when nearing the end of the flower mass.








Continue weaving down the stem a bit and then cut the ribbon and the ends to even them up. Cut another piece of ribbon and make a bow at the end of the weaving to hide the ribbon end. Enjoy!
