Material required

• 500 mg of sago;
• 9 ml of essence with the full of your choice;
• 1 ml fixative;
• 1 plastic bag - preferably with a Zip Lock closure;
• Tissue bags with bows to close them - organza or tulle.

Step 1: add the essence

Place the 500 grams of sago in a bowl and mix in 9 ml of the essence you have selected. If desired, decrease or increase the amount proportionally.

Step 2: Fixative

The fixative liquid, which can be found in craft stores, is important to make the sachet smell long lasting. Add 1 ml to the mixture, stirring well to spread it over all the balls.

Step 3: Inside the plastic bag

After mixing the two liquids, place the sago balls inside the plastic wrap, close it, and leave it sealed for 24 hours.

Step 4: Contents in the baggies

To finish, place the balls inside each bag with the help of a spoon. If the contents become too oily, you can use a paper towel to dry the sago a little.

Step 5: Inside the closet

After finishing the sachets, they are ready to be placed inside the closet.

The sachets cost very little and you can buy the material even over the Internet. A simple tip, quick to make and that will perfume your home!
