{valentine’s lavender sachet}

Oo-la-la! I am super excited to share a project with you that

I just completed for Valentine’s Day, a heavenly lavender heart sachet.
My entire home now has the sweet, intoxicating scent of lavender.

I am sharing my Valentine’s Lavender Sachet tutorial with you!

 

Woo-Who! Let’s get busy.

Cut scrap fabric strips into various sizes from 1”, 1 ½”, 1 ¾” tall x 8 wide.

Quilt the pieces together into a fun pattern to create a square roughly 8” x 10”.

Download Pattern.

Here!

Select a fabric for the back of your sachet, I used a white fluffy chenille.

Cut the front and back of your fabric into the heart shape from the pattern.

The hearts should be 6 ¼” wide x 8 ½” tall.

Cut a red ribbon 11 inches long.

Pin to the right side of the fabric, then sew

a small stitch at the top to tack into place and remove pins.

Pin the hearts together with the right sides in and sew leaving a

2” opening on the left bottom side for filling with lavender buds.

Turn your heart right side out and fill with lavender buds.

Stitch the side closed and embellish your heart with

buttons, ribbon, pins and flowers.

Whaa-laa! Done! Finished!

 

Happy Valentines Day!

Surprise Dino Soap Egg Tutorial

These fun Handmade Dino Soap Eggs are sure to give big kids

and little kid’s incentive to wash.

So much fun with a surprise dinosaur inside each soap egg.

I am sharing with you the tutorial to make these super fun soap eggs at home.

This is a great project to make with the kids

or for the kids for creative stocking stuffers for the holidays.

Supply List:

8 Cups of Shredded Soap

(I prefer all natural soap lavender or unscented)

½ Rolled Oats

½ Lavender Buds

4 Tablespoons of Distilled Water

Lavender Essential Oil

Toy Plastic Dinosaurs

Olive Oil

Plastic Wrap

Glass Bowl

Step 1

Place shredded soap into a microwave safe glass bowl.

Step 2

Add 4 Tablespoons of water.

Step 3

Cover bowl with plastic wrap and microwave at 50% power for 3 minutes.
Carefully remove (caution will be very HOT) and stir gently.
Repeat this step two more times; for a total of 9 minutes.

Soap will not be completely melted with translucent parts as shown here.

Optional: Place a few drops of Lavender Essential Oil.

Sprinkle then mix in a small amount of lavender and oatmeal.

Step 4

Place olive oil on hands as a barrier from the heat of the soap.
Then carefully place soap in hands and shape into dinosaur egg.
Complete this step quickly because the soap cools very fast.
Place toy plastic dinosaur in the center of the egg.

Step 5

Roll soap egg in crushed lavender and oatmeal.

Let your new Handmade Dino Soap Eggs harden for a few weeks

before you use them in the bath or shower.

You will have no trouble getting your kids to wash.

Your new handmade soap eggs will do a wonderful job getting your children

squeaky clean and will be tons of fun at the same time.

If you have any questions feel free to send me an email.

Smiles, Paula
