Since we’ve been working on cleaning our bedrooms and getting organized I thought it would be fun to create a hanging sachet for the closet. After all, I want my closet to smell nice like the rest of my house!

Not only does this hanging sachet smell amazing; it’s also very easy to make since there’s no sewing involved.

This sachet is very similar to my no sew lavender drawer sachet. The only differences are the size, the essential oil used, and the ribbon for hanging.

Hanging Sachet DIY

What you need:

• Fabric (scraps work great for this)
• Ribbon (about 10″ long or long enough for hanging)
• Hem tape
• Ruler
• Scissors or rotary cutter
• 1/4 cup Epsom Salt
• 1/2 cup white rice
• 18-20 drops of your favorite essential oil. (I used Fresh Meadow)
• Small bowl or measuring cup
• Spoon

Before I get started I have to brag on this essential oil. I purchased the spring set last year from Plant Therapy, which comes with 3 oils. Fresh Meadow is my favorite out of all of them, although the other 2 smell good, too. I don’t like them so much in my diffuser, but I love using them in recipes!

Fresh Meadow is an essential oil blend and smells exactly like a spring breeze. You can smell the citrus and sweet scents along with just a hint of spice. I love it! It’s what spring smells like to me.

Okay, sorry about that. I just love Plant Therapy and I wanted to share them with you.

Now back to the reason you’re really here – the hanging sachet instructions.

What you do:

Step 1

In a small bowl or measuring cup, mix the Epsom salt and rice until combined. Add 18-20 drops of the essential oil (or oils) and stir until combined. Set aside.

(Epsom salt soaks up the essential oil and helps the scent last longer.)

Step 2

Using a rotary tool or scissors, cut the fabric into a 5″ x 10″ rectangle.

Step 3

Next, iron the fabric to get all the wrinkles out so that it’s easier to work with.

Step 4

Fold the fabric in half longways with the right side in and iron the edge to make a crease.

Step 5

Now lay the hem tape along the edges of the fabric, but don’t go all the way to the end. Fold the top half over and iron. Follow the instructions on the hem tape for ironing. Let it cool for a few seconds.

Step 6

Turn the sachet right side out and add the essential oil mixture. Don’t fill it completely full or you will have a really hard time closing the sachet. I had enough mixture leftover to make a smaller hanging sachet for my car, which I’ll share with you in a later post.

Step 7

Next, fold the top edges of the fabric down towards the inside of the hanging sachet and iron so they stay creased, then insert the ribbon (mine was about 10″ long). Lay the hem tape over the ribbon and iron to close.

I placed the ribbon on top of the hem tape to begin with but it didn’t work. The ribbon kept coming out. However, when I put the hem tape over the ribbon it held.

That’s it! Then you just hang the sachet in your closet for a fresh scent!

The scent in the drawer sachet lasted about 3 months, so I imagine this will last just as long.

Where will you hang your hanging sachet? I hung mine in my husband’s closet, but I’ll be making more for all the closets.

If you make a hanging sachet for your closet, I’d love to see it!
