It's DIY Friday! And here we have a very special craft that I did myself with the girls. It is so easy and comes out so beautifully and they got to do each step of the way. Read on for the full tutorial.
Here's all you need:
Dried lavender (we got our “Lavender by The Bay” at the Union Square Green Market or you can purchase it at: lavenderbythebay.com)
Organza sachets
Glitter glue
Fabric glue
Diamantes and pearls
Glitter (we like the Recollections brand,long sliver-like glitters)
Ribbons (0ptional)
Feathers (optional)
And here's what you do:
1. Cut a bit of paper and place in the sachets as blotters.
2. Decorate the sachets with the glitter glues. We used different colors but you can just use one.
3. Sprinkle the glitter generously over the glue.
4. Then shake out the excess. Let dry partially.
5. Paste the diamantes, pearls and feathers on using the fabric glue. Make sure you remove the blotter before glue is completely dry so that it's not pasted together!
6. Fill the sachets with the lavender and decorate with the ribbons. Et voila! Lovely sachets to keep your drawers smelling fresh. But we like these so much, we are leaving them out in the open!
