HOW TO USE SCENTED WAX SACHETS
Wax sachets are a simple way to make a space smell better. I recommend securing a ribbon through the hole and hanging them in a closet, on a door knob, or in a bathroom. Or lay them flat in a drawer to give your clothes a subtle scent, or set on the floor of your car to keep the air fresh.

Consider gifting DIY wax sachets for any of the following occasions:
- housewarming gift
- bridal shower gift

INGREDIENTS YOU NEED TO MAKE WAX SACHETS
STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS
- Measure about 3 cups of wax flakes in a measuring cup, and dump into pouring pot.
- Fill up a second separate pot of water and bring to a boil.
- Place the pouring pot into the other pot of boiling water (double broiler style) and stir occasionally, allowing wax to completely melt.
- Measure 1 cup of melted wax in a separate measuring cup. Add fragrance oil. Use about 50 drops of essential oil for every 1 cup of melted wax.
- Stir thoroughly.
- Pour into molds, about 1/2″ deep.
- Let the wax sit for about 2-3 minutes and slightly cool. I like to add the dried flowers when a slightly cooled layer has formed on the top, so that the dried flowers sit more on top of the sachet and don’t sink down into the middle of the wax.
- Let cool and harden completely. Put in refrigerator to speed hardening process.
- Gently pop each sachet out of the mold and shake off excess florals.
- Cut a long ribbon, insert through the hole of the sachet and tie a knot at the ends.
- Gift, hang, enjoy!
