Christmas Sachets

O and I had so much fun making these sachets for our family and friends on Monday morning. The idea for these sachets came from here. Thanks, Theresa!

I traced around a salad plate and cut out 8 circles of fabric.

O enjoyed trying to cut Rosemary for the sachets. This was difficult for her, but she got better at it as she kept trying.

Putting dried orange peels on the fabric circles. O's favorite part of this project was cutting the ribbon. She was so excited to be able to easily achieve cutting success! (we need to do more cutting activities!)

And they're done...8 small, sweet smelling handmade gifts! O was VERY proud!

    Hey Melissa,
    Just wanted to wish you and O (and Elliott, of course) a Merry Christmas, and a warm Happy New Year. May you continue to bring happiness to so many. Warmly, Miri

    Nice scissors skills - I'm impressed! Is Miss O in her two's? I hesitate to give scissors to young'uns, but I may have to reevaluate.

    I'm glad I found your Blog. You've given me hope and ideas a-plenty.
