STEP 1
Decorate a cotton drawstring bag using fabric markers. Think patterns, simple block colours or you could personalise the bag with a name.
STEP 2
You may also wish to decorate your drawstring bag using felt stickers. Arrange the stickers on top of your design however you would like. Once you are happy with their positioning, remove the backing paper and press in place.
STEP 3
Take a handful of wadding, making sure there is enough to fill your bag. Add a few drops of essential oil to the wadding and massage it into the fibres.
We have chosen to use lavender oil as it is a fresh, calming scent, but you could choose any scent you would like. You may even wish to use the intended recipient’s favourite scent if gifting.
