Balsam Sachets

Muslin bags stamped with an evergreen motif and filled with fragrant dried balsam make seasonally appropriate sachets. The tiny tags were made using a craft punch.

How-To
Insert a scrap of cardboard into a muslin bag (available at specialty-food shops and online). Using a rubber stamp with an evergreen motif and a light-green ink pad, stamp design on bag; let dry. Repeat with a dark-green inkpad to create a shadow effect; let dry.

Write a message on a small gift tag, and string it onto one of the bag's ties. 

Fill the bag with dried balsam, then pull the ties tight and knot to close.
