Lavender - Grapefruit Sachet

Here's a very easy and fun project! I recently blended lavender buds and grapefruit peel to make fabric sachets for my sweater drawer. Both lavender and grapefruit peel discourage moths from feasting on wool.

How did you make the grapefruit peel? Did you put it in a dehydrator? I still have some Arizona grapefruit and this would be a good use for the peels.

I simply peeled it and then let it sit for about 2 days on the counter. In this dry winter air, it dries quickly!

Wow Steph. That's good news. Have lots of moths & can't stand moth balls. I'm gonna be giving this one a try, especially since I love the scent of both of these> Yeah!
