Easy Pine Needle Sachets You Can Make with Children

Making Pine Needle Sachets can be a fun and easy project to do with your children. It involves taking a walk or hike outdoors to find some pine needles. And it is always a good idea to spend time outside with your children. The fresh air and sunshine are good for both you and your child. And the exercise is very healthy for you. Pine sachets are a nice scent to have in your drawers or closets. It is a fresh outdoor aroma.

To make your own pine needle sachets first of all you must go and find some pine needles. A stand of tall pine trees can be a great spot to go to find some pine needles. The pine trees shed their needles every so often and the pine needles gather at the bottom of the pine trees. So if you find a tall stand of pine trees look at the bottom of the pine trees and you should see mounds of pine needles. Take a empty bag with you and gather a nice bag of pine needles. You can gather the pine needles ahead of time when the weather is bad out and then make the sachets on a day when the weather is bad out. These pine needles make nice scented sachets that you can use in your drawers or closets. You can give them to people that you know as little gifts.

To make easy pine needle sachets al you need is some pine needles and some old, clean socks. Take a handful of the pine needles and put them in the toe of a sock. Then you can cut the sock off about two inches from where the pine needles end. Tuck the end of the sock into itself to make a nice finished edge and take a ribbon and tie the opening of the sock closed so it is nice and tight. That’s all there is to it. You now have a nice pine needle sachet that you can put in a drawer or closet or anywhere you wish for a fresh pine scent.

You can get creative with the color of socks you use and the ribbons. The socks of little girls work well since they come in so many nice colors. If you want to you can glue little decorations on the socks like buttons, bows or glitter. These socks make great gifts for grandparents since it is something that you can make just for them.
