crocheted sachet stuffing

Hi!

I´m going to try the pattern for a crocheted sachet:

http://members.aol.com/_ht_a/lffunt/hanger.htm

I already have the yarn, the ribbon and the tulle (well, it´s not really
tulle, but I don´t know the name of the fabric, even in Italian LOL).
I don´t want to use poutpourri, since many people higly dislike the
strong scent from poutpourri, DH among them.
I would like to use dried lavanda flowers, but I noticed that there´s
also lavanda oil on sell.
Which one would you prefer? Maybe oil is more practical, but how long
does it last on a cotton ball inside the sachet?
Maybe the oil option could be better in case I would send a sachet to
USA and other countries (I know that USA has very hard regulations when
it comes to plants and part of plants from outside, but I could be
wrong). Just wondering...
Any other idea is welcome...

Hugs,

Anna Maria

Hi Anna Maria,

That is so pretty, my suggestion would be to just put something inside and
leave it with no fragrance, but let the owner put whatever they wanted to in
it. That way it would be able to be shipped to all countries.

That´s a good idea! I could ship it with some ribbon and fabric as
"assemble your sachet kit" :-)

I make crocheted sachets a lot for little gifts for friends, and stuff them
with polyester stuffing.

Do you add some perfume oil too? And if so, how many drops?
Sorry for the very basic questions, but I never made this before.

It depends if I know the fragrance they like. The last one I made, I knew
my friend liked Lavender - and I had some nice light cologne which I sprayed
it with.
