{Jump to Recipe}Since we’ve been working on cleaning our bedrooms and getting organized I thought it would be fun to create a hanging sachet for the closet. After all, I want my closet to smell nice like the rest of my house!
Not only does this hanging sachet smell amazing; it’s also very easy to make since there’s no sewing involved.
This sachet is very similar to my no sew lavender drawer sachet. The only differences are the size, the essential oil used, and the ribbon for hanging.

Hanging Sachet DIY
What you need:
- Fabric (scraps work great for this)
- Ribbon (about 10″ long or long enough for hanging)
- Hem tape
- Ruler
- Scissors or rotary cutter
- 1/4 cup Epsom Salt
- 1/2 cup white rice
- 18-20 drops of your favorite essential oil. (I used Fresh Meadow)
- Small bowl or measuring cup
- Spoon
Before I get started I have to brag on this essential oil. I purchased the spring set last year from Plant Therapy, which comes with 3 oils. Fresh Meadow is my favorite out of all of them, although the other 2 smell good, too. I don’t like them so much in my diffuser, but I love using them in recipes!
Fresh Meadow is an essential oil blend and smells exactly like a spring breeze. You can smell the citrus and sweet scents along with just a hint of spice. I love it! It’s what spring smells like to me.
And if you’re interested in purchasing some, here’s a link to get $10 off your first purchase of $25 or more. They always offer free shipping!! Also, they have an amazing rewards program which makes it easy to earn points towards free products. And you get a free full-size bottle of oil for your birthday! How great is that?
Okay, sorry about that. I just love Plant Therapy and I wanted to share them with you.
Now back to the reason you’re really here – the hanging sachet instructions.
What you do:
Step 1
In a small bowl or measuring cup, mix the Epsom salt and rice until combined. Add 18-20 drops of the essential oil (or oils) and stir until combined. Set aside.
(Epsom salt soaks up the essential oil and helps the scent last longer.)
Step 2
Using a rotary tool or scissors, cut the fabric into a 5″ x 10″ rectangle.
Step 3
Next, iron the fabric to get all the wrinkles out so that it’s easier to work with.
Step 4
Fold the fabric in half longways with the right side in and iron the edge to make a crease.
Step 5
Now lay the hem tape along the edges of the fabric, but don’t go all the way to the end. Fold the top half over and iron. Follow the instructions on the hem tape for ironing. Let it cool for a few seconds.
Step 6
Turn the sachet right side out and add the essential oil mixture. Don’t fill it completely full or you will have a really hard time closing the sachet. I had enough mixture leftover to make a smaller hanging sachet for my car, which I’ll share with you in a later post.
Step 7
Next, fold the top edges of the fabric down towards the inside of the hanging sachet and iron so they stay creased, then insert the ribbon (mine was about 10″ long). Lay the hem tape over the ribbon and iron to close.
I placed the ribbon on top of the hem tape to begin with but it didn’t work. The ribbon kept coming out. However, when I put the hem tape over the ribbon it held.
That’s it! Then you just hang the sachet in your closet for a fresh scent!
The scent in the drawer sachet lasted about 3 months, so I imagine this will last just as long.
Where will you hang your hanging sachet? I hung mine in my husband’s closet, but I’ll be making more for all the closets.
If you make a hanging sachet for your closet, I’d love to see it!

Michelle, what a great idea and so easy. Thank you for the DIY. Happy Wednesday!
Thank you so much! I love an easy project. Happy Wednesday to you as well!
An idea that could be good for other rooms, too. Now that we are all at home so much, some rooms are starting to get a little funky.
I agree! And with home renovations going on in my house, I feel like I’m constantly cleaning and can’t catch up! 😀
So cute! This could be a great idea also for me that I’m very bad at diy ?
Thank you! It’s really easy to make! Since I don’t sew I love using hem tape! 😀
Great idea and I love that it’s no sew!!
Thank you! I can’t sew so hem tape is my best friend in projects like these! 😀
That’s what I use too!
Great idea. Thanks. Hope to make a few this week.
Thank you! They’re so easy to make, which I why I love them even more. 😀
Thanks for this great idea! I hope to make some for our closets.
I hope you get to make some! They’re easy to make! 🙂
This is adorable! I love the fabric and the fact that it is NO SEW, I can’t sew a lick! 🙂
Thank you!! I can’t sew either, which is why hem tape is my best friend! 😀
What a fun and functional project, Michelle! That essential oil sounds amazing. I’ll have to check it out! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you! I love the way that oil smells. It’s almost like a fresh clean scent! 🙂
I love this idea. I’m always looking for small, simple items with a touch of handmade charm that work well as gifts – teachers, Mother’s day, etc. Because I cannot always spend a lot of money on each person, but I still want to make them feel special and thought of! Perhaps these could even be sent in the mail!
This would work really well as gifts! They would be great for a house warming gift, too. And Mother’s Day is coming right up! 🙂 I have mailed a drawer sachet. I wrap them in tissue paper and plastic so nothing happens to it along the way. 🙂
Awesome! And where do you buy Epsom salts?
You can find them at some grocery stores. Walmart has them and Target.
Super cute idea, Michelle! Easy to follow instructions too!
Thank you so much!!

Using Hem tape is such a brilliant idea.
I will try making these sachets for the closet in my laundry room where I have small place to hide away the dry clothes before they are ironed.
And it needs no sowing is a helpful diy.
Thanks
I love using hem tape because I can’t sew at all. They would be great for your laundry room closet! I’d love to see them if you get to make them. Thank you for reading!
So pretty and so clever, using rice is brilliant!!
Thank you so much! They’re so easy to make, too. 🙂
I’m going to make some of these! I’m thinking some fresh spring scents
They are so easy to make! I wanted fresh spring scents, too, and the oil I used smells just like Spring. 🙂 Then in the fall I’ll make more with fall scents. 🙂
What a wonderful idea – pinned for future reference!
Thank you so much! If you get to make one, I’d love to see it!
Hanging sachet in your closet is such a great idea, I used to buy them, ready made 🙂 regularly, but I haven’t in a long while and I don’t know why I stopped. Thank you for this post and reminder for the sachet, I may even try to do it myself this looks so easy. And That fresh meadow sounds like a wonderful scent.
They are pretty easy to make as long as you have the tape. But if you know how to sew then you can do it that way, too. 🙂 I hope you get to make one for your closet!
Love this idea!!
Thank you so much!
This is a great idea, and I love the idea of making one for the car! I’m here by way of Waste Not Wednesday, but I saw the thumbnail at TTA, too! Yay!!!
Thank you so much! They are so easy to make and easy to adjust to the size you need. Thank you for vising!!
I love this tutorial. I am so doing this one! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much!! If you get around to making one I’d love to see it! 🙂
So clever and time to try it..
Thank you so much!
My daughter and I are looking for more crafts to do during this time at home. This looks like a great one – thank you!
That’s great! I hope you and her get to make these. If you do I’d love to see it! 🙂
Your closets must smell amazing!
Thank you! They’re smelling pretty good right now. ?
Great tip to fill them with the epsom salt rice mix. I’ll be trying that out for sure. Thanks.
Thank you! If you make one I’d love to see it! 🙂
Cool!! I think I might make some of these…I have the supplies ..and the time???
That’s great!! I’d love to see them if you get a chance! 😀
I like this idea. It’s cute and looks easy to do. We’ve everything here except the essential oil which seems like it might be important! ?
Thank you! The essential oil is probably the most important part since that’s what makes it smell good. 🙂 Hopefully you can get some so you can make one of these for your closet.
Great post! I really like your blog as well!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate your feedback! 🙂
This is a great share ma’am. I loved it. Thank you. ❤
Thank you so much!
That’s a brilliant idea. Thanks for sharing. Would rough sea salt do the same or does it have to be Epsom salt? Have a good day despite everything ?♀️?
Thank you so much! Yes, sea salt will work, too. I hope you have a wonderful day, too! 🙂
Thanks ??♀️?
That’s so lovely and pretty Michelle! I love your choice of fabric.
Thank you so much!
