Inma teaches us to do aromatic lavender bags to perfume clothes or our favorite rooms in the house. The use of lavender is a summer classic, surely many of you remember the corsages in the windows to scare away mosquitoes.
And it also has a calming action on the nervous system. If we add its intense aroma, this plant that can be collected in summer (better in broad daylight, when the flower is open) becomes the favorite of many people. Making our stuffed bags can be a nice activity to do with children, and it is not necessary to be very skilled at sewing, since they can be finished even by hand using needle and thread.
I have made them with white cotton TV from used sheets, and we just have to cut boxes, fold them in half, make a hem in what will be the 'mouth' of the sack, and sew the sides and the bottom.
They can also be decorated with fabric paints, sewn pieces of felt, or even embroidered. The final touch can be given by a tie of colors to tie (or dovecote)
Inma has achieved a perfect result that includes labels with the date of realization.
I think it is important that children have the opportunity to learn to do things with dried plants or flowersThey have many utilities, and it helps them to know the plant species.
I hope you liked this idea.
