Cut out a circle ut of muslin or organza that is 7.5 inches in diameter,. Fill with a tablespoon of lavender and then secure with a rubber band. Tie a ribbon around the band and secure in a bow.
Sew together a rectangle of cotton fabric with a rectangle of muslin and fill with a tablespoon of lavender. Make several and layer them in a pile, and secure with a ribbon bow. These can be tucked into underwear drawers or left onvdisplay in a little china or silver dish.
Get an existing tea bag and carefully open it at the top and remove the existing tea. Fill with a teaspoon of lavender and staple to close, using the existing tab and string. Cover the tab with some lavender card and cover the staple with a die cut shape using a small punch. This will turn plan old bath water into an aromatic treat!
I have plenty of other ideas of lavender so stay tuned!

Lisa – I’m so excited! I love these ideas and of course once I find some lavendar…this would be great for me too. Is that your lavender in the picture or just a photo?
Lavender…Ahhhh, I love lavender. I am quite taken with your fabric sachets and the tub tea. I might have to give them a try this fall after my lavender finally gives me some blooms! Right now it is only about six inches high, but it is growing more everyday.
that is soooo exciting! I make bath salts and then mix in just a bit of dried lavender flowers to pretty it up.
oooooh…..have you ever made lavender ‘bottles’? They are wonderful to lay between linens in the closet…….
Oooo, I love the smell of lavender. Thanks for the great ideas – might have a crack myself!
I love the smell of lavender but have never seen such a big field with it before Lovely.
Simplicity and lovely ideas!
Waiting for next ideas…

Hello Lisa,
Thank you for the lovely comment on my peacock quilt and my home. I appreciate it.
I of course had to hop on over to your blog! I love your miniature quilts. I have never made those before, but I might be tempted to try it…
You are soooo creative. Thanks for sharing your ideas on making the lavender satchels! They would make simply lovely gifts!!!
I enjoyed my visit here.
ohhh love the tub tea idea would be great for a tea party birthday party favor for little girls!!! Thanks for the idea.
The tea bag idea is brilliant! It never would have occurred to me to use an existing one.
Yummy fabric and lavender combined! I would be in heaven with these sachets. All great ideas.
i love the smell of lavender! i love the fabric sachet idea.
did you know that lavender oil is great for keeping mosquitoes away? (and for clearing up their bites!)
Lisa, This post makes me want to plant a lavender bush!
Oh my goodness,
you are the answer to my dreams,
All of these great ideas are so simple but so effective.
Thank you for sharing your obviously vast knowledge with us, we are very thankful.
I really love the tub tea and the envelope sachet! They look so easy to make, and yet very impressive and suitable for gift giving 🙂
You are so talented. I can almost smell the lavender!!!!
I love lavender….what fantastic crafty things to make!
lavender has such happy memories for me- I used to just what you are doing with your daughter, with my Mum and Grandmother. :o) Lovely projects… I love the idea of ‘tub tea’.
I love lavender and that photo of the field full of it is beautiful!
Lavender is my favorite smell of all! I love the envelope sachet – very clever – that evil Martha Stewart machine thinks of all the great ideas!!!
well I love tea so the idea of a tea bath…that sounds too good not to try! Jen
What great simple ideas. I too have some lavendar that I was going to put into a heat bag? Maybe it will end up in something else.
I can almost smell the lavender as I look at your wonderful ideas!!
Yay! All of these projects are just brilliant.
I had a childhood flashback when reading the one with the organza squares tied up with a rubber band … I think I made one of these in school for a Mother’s Day gift once.
And the envelope punching is so simple and effective for a drawer liner too. Great work – love it.
Wow, I can smell that lavendar already! Thanks for all the great ideas! I like the cotton squares best. I may give that one a try!
gorgeous photo
the little envelope is such a cute idea i might have to make some for my drawers!
the sachets look like fun too@
thanks
ohhh lovely ideas you have!!! is that lavender-field yours? looks sooooooooooooooooo beatiful! have to plant some lavender too!
O.K.- My lavender is about to come up and bloom. I’m thinking around the end of the week the first blooms will pop. When the lavender is up and blooming I am making these crafts–they are all great. I cannot wait for more!
What great ideas I’ll have to bookmark for when my lavendar is ready – thanks!!!
Kris
What great ideas, and what wonderful gifts they all would make!
Hmmm, now I just need some lavender. They are great projects.
I simply adore lavender, what a terrific idea putting it into empty teabags….now why didn’t I think of that!
