A SCENTED THROW PILLOW

If you’re okay with sewing, and can do easy repairs, take out a few stitches on the side of your pillow. Add mix and sew closed.
If you don’t use all of the mix, it can be put into a bowl and set on a table.
The Mix:
1 c dried mint
1 c dried lavender
1 c dried lemon verbena
1 c dried lemon thyme
3 c dried lemon scented geranium leaves
1 t orris root
1 t. your choice essential oil...any citrus
Mix orris root and essential oil in a closed jar for 2 days.
Mix all ingredients. Leave in a glass jar for 2 weeks, before using.
Cut a square of muslin….12×12 or 8×8…depending on the size of the pillow and the strength of the scent you want. Fill the center of the square with a good handful of the mix. Tie closed. Insert into pillow. Squeeze and scrunch up to release scent.
