    Herbal Insect-Repellant Sachet

    Materials (figure A):

    Organza
    Pinking shears
    Rubber stamps (a bug design was used for this project)
    Ribbon
    Fresh basil
    Fresh mint
    Whole cloves

    1. Cut the organza into an 18" square using the pinking shears. Make the square big enough to hold a good amount of herbs.

    2. Rubber-stamp the organza with any design you desire.

    3. Place the herbs in the center of the organza.

    4. Bring up the edges of the organza and tie it off with a ribbon.

    5. Hang the finished herbal insect-repellant sachet in a window.

    Tip: This sachet smells great! You can also put it in a dresser drawer or a linen closet for a beautiful herbal scent.

    Products: All of these items should be easy to find.
