Computer generated no less, which makes them perfectly lovely and absolutely quick and easy to make and whip together.

Now that we know a bit more about where to find photo transfer paper, these would be relatively easy to make for Christmas this year.

Sachets are pretty simple really. My number one trick I have found is to sew my innards (lavender is a favorite, along with rose petals, but really, any botanical works) in a sturdy smaller bag, then insert that bag in the outer sachet container). Yes, it is a cheat method, and it will not work if the sachet is transparent enough (think chiffon or the like) to see through, but in a opaque material like this, I wouldn’t fuss with fighting containment. I would mush all my materials into a quick and dirty easy bag, then sew that bag into a nicely made up photo transfer bag.

The other benefit I have found to doing it my way is that if my sachet gets dirty, I can take out the innards and clean the sachet (or even replace the sachet altogether if the smell fades or I weary of it).

I will work on adding a post about working with photo transfer fabrics and papers soon. They are a marvelous invention. Absolutely lovely and something everyone should try just once. You might find yourselves addicted.
