St. Patrick's Day Scented Sachets:
Make a sweet, scented doily sachet, decorated with green ribbons and shamrocks for St. Patrick's Day.
Supplies:
2 Heart shape paper doilies
White craft glue
Green Ribbon
Shamrock sticker, confetti, or cut a shamrock from green paper
White tissue paper
Fragrance oil, regular cologne or perfume
Directions: Glue together two paper doilies leaving an opening at the top of your doily. Allow the glue to dry.
Tear up a little white tissue paper and spray a little fragrance on the tissue. Once your glue on the doilies is dry, push the scented tissue paper inside the doily and glue the doily opening closed. Allow the glue to dry before handling again. Tie a small green ribbon bow and glue in place (see photo) and attach either a shamrock sticker or cut out to the heart doily. You can also add a written greeting to the center of the heart with a green pen or marker. If you decide to add a greeting, be sure to make this the first thing you do, as it will be difficult to write on the doily once it is assembled.

2 medium white foam hearts
1 medium white foam circle

Paint the white foam hearts with the glue mixture, then sprinkle white
glitter all over them. Let dry, then tap off excess. Use a scruffy paint
brush and dip it into some pink paint. Dab off the excess paint onto a
piece of paper towel until brush is almost dry.
To make cheeks, paint small circles onto foam circle. Use the Sharpie marker to draw on her eyes, eyelashes and mouth. Hot glue the small hearts behind the larger upside down heart. The smaller hearts are the wings. Bend the chenille stick about 2 inches up. Then use your glue stick to make the round halo by wrapping the chenille around the cap of the glue stick. Trim the excess. Hot glue the halo to the back of the circle. This is the head. Hot glue the head in place at the top of the upside down heart. Pipe white craft glue onto the bottom of the large heart and up at the neckline under the circle. Sprinkle generously with pink glitter. Let dry and tap off excess. Turn angel over and hot glue the pin or magnet strip on.
