Smelly Sachet's
I have some dried Rosemary that I want to use for something so want to make some smelly sachet's for my undie drawer or cupboard. Apparently it can repel moths and has an antibacterial quality as well as a nice aroma. I found a few different ideas other than the basic drawstring or pouch, however I may just end up going with the traditional.. But some of these would be great Christmas presents to keep in mind. Especially now I am growing my own rosemary and lavender..!
