Mixing Potpourri, Drawer Liners, and Fragrance Bags

Lavender’s classic scent is the heart of timeless potpourri, homemade drawer liners, and “sachet” fragrance bags. With a few handfuls of dried flowers, a sprinkle of spice, and your creative touch, you can infuse every room with the scent of summer, naturally. Here’s how to blend, craft, and use lavender potpourri, beautiful liners, and versatile fragrance bags in your home.

The Basics: What is Potpourri?

• A blend of dried flowers, herbs, aromatic leaves, and spices, designed to gently scent rooms or drawers.
• Lavender is the star: its oils last beautifully through drying and mixing—and work well with many other ingredients.

DIY Lavender Potpourri Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 cup dried lavender buds or short “wands”
• 1 cup dried rose petals, calendula, or chamomile (for color)
• 1–2 tbsp dried rosemary or thyme (for herbal notes)
• 2–3 pieces dried orange or lemon peel (zest or thin slices)
• 1 tsp whole cloves, star anise, or cinnamon sticks (for spice)
• Optional: 3–4 drops lavender essential oil

Instructions:

1. Mix all the dried ingredients gently in a large bowl.
2. Add essential oil and toss to distribute.
3. Let sit (covered) for 12–24 hours to blend scents.

Potpourri Uses

• Bowl or glass jar in bathrooms, bedrooms, or entryways.
• Placed in open mason jars for a rustic, long-lasting air freshener.
• Sprinkle on a heat-safe dish near radiators in winter for scent “boost.”

DIY Drawer Liners Scented with Lavender

• Cut parchment or kraft paper to drawer size.
• Sprinkle/dust with dried lavender buds (and a pinch of dried mint or petals, if desired).
• Lightly spray with a mixture of distilled water + a few drops of lavender oil; let dry completely.
• Place papers in drawers, cabinets, or under pillows for a subtle, fresh aroma and moth deterrence.

Fragrance Bags (Sachets): Lavender to Go

How-To:

• Fill small muslin, cotton, or organza bags with dried lavender buds (add some rose, mint, thyme, or lemon verbena if you want).
• Tie tightly and squeeze to refresh the aroma as needed.
• Place in clothing drawers, under pillows, inside gym bags, or as car air fresheners!

Bonus: Stick a lavender fragrance bag inside suitcases before travel or as a “good luck” charm in new homes.

Pro Tips

• Mix and match flower and herb combinations for your personal favorite bouquet.
• Refresh old potpourri with a few drops of essential oil every few months.
• Sachets are lovely party favors, wedding gifts, or “thank yous.”
