A tutorial on how to make sachets.

The sachet tutorial is as follows:

1, think about the size of the sachet, which can be decided according to your own preferences, but it depends on your personal preferences.

2, dry the petals, don't expose them to the sun, so the fragrance will be scattered. It is best to add some medicinal materials or grind them into powder.

3. Cut the cloth into the shape you like. Various styles, rabbit bag, gourd bag, peach heart bag and tiger bag.

4, sewing, sewing three sides from the back with thread, leaving one side, and turning it over after completion.

If you can embroider, you can try embroidery. Be steady when embroidering, and the thread should not be too long. Otherwise, it will entangle the thread and form a dead button, and stitching will inevitably appear.

6. If you can't embroider, you can sew beads, sequins and other decorations on the outside of the sachet, which will look very pleasing to the eye.

7. Add petals and other spices and sew again. Be careful when using needles. It's better to add a rope to make it easy to carry.
