DIY Trader Joe's Lavender Dryer Bags

Tutorial For DIY Trader Joe's Lavender Dryer Bags

Love the scent of Lavender on your linens?
These dryer bags are too easy and inexpensive not to make yourself, plus I will show you how to enhance the scent by adding essential oils to your dryer bags.

      
      What you need:
  • Lavender flowers dried
  • t-sac Tea Bags
  • Flat Iron

     You can get the Lavender and Tea bags from any health food store



Open the empty tea bag and put in 1+1/2 teaspoons of lavender flowers




Next fold down the flap and seal with a hot flat iron being careful not to burn yourself.
I have a mini flat iron that is perfect for this!



Now you can add a few drops of your favorite essential oils to mix with the lavender scent.
Just drop a few drops right onto the bag before putting in the dryer.


Some of my favorites are:
  • Lavender with Orange and Vanilla
  • Lavender with Peppermint
  • Lavender, Tea Tree and Eucalyptus (for smelly dog blankets)
Plus they Make great gifts, just tie with a ribbon!


Keep finished bags in a zip lock bag to keep them fresh and put in the 
laundry room so you don't forget to use them!
