Sniffy Bags
 

Sniffy Bags

© Leslie Sausage

Small bags of herbs which can be tucked into drawers or hung on hangers in your closet. Not only do they smell good, but they mildly deter bugs, such as moths, from laying eggs on your natural fabric clothing.

You will need:

  • 3x5 muslin drawstring bag
  • mixing bowl
  • about 1/2 C of any pleasant dried herb combination

This group has antiseptic and bug repellent properties:

  • 1/4 C dried lavender petals
  • 1/8 C dried thyme
  • 1/8 C lemon balm

Remove any large stems. Mix the herbs in a mixing bowl and add to the muslin bag.Do not use herbs that are powdered because they will sift through the fabric of the bag.

Tie the drawstring snug (not in a knot). Replace herbs after one year.Hang or place these among your natural fabric clothing to deter bugs and make your clothing smell good.
