Lavender drawer sachets question

[mrsmiggins]

I'm making some lavender drawer sachets, but have run out out of dried lavender. What else can I use? I have lavender essential oil left, but not sure what I can use to put it on! I thought maybe rice, but not sure how long the scent would last on it. Does anyone have any ideas? I'll try and get a photo up when I've finished them!

If you are making them as Christmas presents then why not substitute Christmassy-smelling spices. Dried orange peel, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, star anise etc. etc.

Or herbal ones, just raid your kitchen cupboard for any sweet smelling herbs - the sachets don't have to be large.

Peppermint and clove are particularly good for deterring moths and insects

dried barley or buckwheat work well, and can also be used for heat packs too.
