  2. With right side up, place the envelope onto the piercing mat. Use the piercing tool to create small holes around each flower petal and leaf, and to add flourishes and swirls as shown or as desired.
  3. Flip the envelope over and adhere double-sided tape to each side flap, making sure that the tape runs the length of each flap.
  4. Referring to the diagram provided, fold the bottom flap up and fill the center with scented sachet or potpourri as desired. Fold the top flap, then fold the side flaps in to secure.
  5. Center and adhere the label on the back of the sachet.
  6. Wrap a piece of color coordinated Wraphia around the sachet and use a glue dot to secure the charm as desired.

Sachet Label
Copy this label or generate your own to glue to the back of the sachet so the recipient doesn’t unwittingly open the envelope.

Use this Scented Sachet to
freshen closets, suitcases, drawers,
or any room in your home.

Contents are for Fragrance Only


Scented Filler
Here is a simple filler recipe that will accept any fragrance desired. Although not particularly attractive to use for display, it is lightweight, long lasting and perfectly suitable for filling sachet envelopes.

Materials
1 cup vermiculite (available at most garden centers)
Environmental Technology, fragrance oil of choice, 10 to 30 drops

Instructions
Place the vermiculite in a glass jar and mix with 10 to 30 drops of fragrance desired. Close the lid tightly and let sit for one week before placing in your paper sachets. This mixture will fill about ten sachet envelopes.
