How to make a fragrance for linen in the closet with your own hands?

Provide a good sleep throughout the night will help not only the right mattress and quality bed linens, but also the pleasant fragrance that comes from it. Special air conditioners that are used for washing and rinsing, give too sharp a smell, besides they contain dangerous for health fragrances, often causing allergies. A more pleasant aroma can be obtained using natural flavoring for laundry in the closet. These can be dried herbs (lavender), needles, citrus, coffee beans, essential oils. On how to make such a flavor with their own hands, we will tell in our article.

How to make a sachet - flavor for linen in the closet?

Sachet, or a small pillow with fragrant filler, has long been used not only to add flavor to laundry in the closet, but also to repel moths. Unlike flavors from the store, the filler composition is selected individually, which allows to exclude the appearance of allergic reactions, rashes and other troubles. In the wardrobes for clothes and linen the sachets are laid out directly between the stacks of laundry or are hung behind the loop.

What can be used as a filler for the bag? Ideal for:

• Dried herbs (lavender, mint, lemon balm, rose, jasmine);
• Spices (cloves, cinnamon sticks, rosemary);
• Dry peel of citrus fruits (orange, lemon, grapefruit);
• Essential oils, previously applied to cotton wool.

Sachets can be sewn by hand. This requires a small piece of natural cloth in the form of a rectangle. Suitable rough sacking, linen, cotton or silk. The fabric cut is sewn on three sides, filled with flavor, then tightened with tape, braid or sewn with threads from the fourth side. A pleasant, light fragrance will please you for about 3 months. After this time, the filler will have to be replaced.

Uncomplicated flavor of soda

To make the flavor of soda with your own hands, you need a small empty jar, for example, from under the cream, soda and a few drops of essential oil. In the jar, baking soda is poured, then the essential oil is added, after which the container is closed and shaken. Further, several holes are made in the lid of the can, after which the flavoring agent for the laundry in the cabinet can be used for the intended purpose.

If you use a jar without a lid to make the flavor, you can use foil instead.

Fragrant Stones for the Cabinet

Stones made from salty dough with their own hands represent both a flavor and a stylish element of decor. They can be decomposed one by one in different parts of the apartment, including in the closet, or you can put them together in a beautiful vase or basket.

Such flavoring for linen in the closet with your own hands can be done in the following way:

1. Knead the dough from flour (300 g), small salt (500 g), starch (2 tablespoons with a slide) and hot water with a dye (100 ml). Depending on the color of the stones you want to make, you can use water-soluble dyes of different shades.
2. Divide the dough into pieces of arbitrary size, apply a few drops of essential oil and hands to form stones.
3. Allow the stones to dry well, and then put them in a closet for storing bed linen.

When the smell ceases to be so saturated, it will be enough to drop 1-2 drops of essential oil onto each stone, allow to dry and put again in the cupboard.

Gel flavor for linen in the closet

Gelatin flavor gelatin (10 g) is poured into 120 ml of water and left for half an hour. After a while the swollen mass is put on the fire and heated until the gelatin is completely dissolved. At this stage, you can add any dye at will. As soon as the gelatinous mass becomes warm, you can add glycerin (15 g) and 7-8 drops of essential oil. These ingredients for flavoring can be bought in almost every pharmacy.

It remains only to shift the gel-like mass into a beautiful transparent bottle. In the wardrobes for clothes and laundry it is enough to put one such flavor. Thanks to the gel-like consistency, the fragrance is preserved for three months or more.

No time to make a home flavor? Place in the wardrobe with bed linen a few pieces of your favorite toilet soap or an empty bottle of perfume. A pleasant aroma for 2-4 weeks will be guaranteed.
