Craft Lavender Buds: Fragrant Filling for Sachets, Toss and Wreaths

Crafters, this one is for you. Our Craft Lavender Buds are dried lavender buds with a sweet, herbal scent and a soft purple-gray color that looks lovely in a jar. Pour a bag across the table and the whole room smells like harvest week.

Which size to choose

Project ideas

• Drawer and closet sachets: fill small cotton or organza bags and tie them tight.
• Dream pillows: a small fabric pouch of buds slipped inside a pillowcase.
• Bath sachets: tie buds into a muslin bag so nothing clogs the drain, and hang it under the faucet for a fragrant bath.
• Wedding toss: buds are a pretty, natural alternative to paper confetti. Check with your venue first.
• Potpourri: mix with dried citrus peel, rose petals or cinnamon pieces.
• Wreaths and ornaments: glue buds to forms or fill clear ornaments for a scented tree.
• Soap and candle projects: a sprinkle on top adds color and texture.

Making the scent last

Dried lavender holds its fragrance longest when kept away from sunlight, heat and humidity. Store unused buds in an airtight container in a cool, dark cupboard. When a sachet starts to fade, squeeze or roll it between your hands to crush a few buds and release more scent. Eventually, refill it with fresh buds.

Craft buds vs. culinary buds

These buds are intended for crafting, not for culinary use. If you want lavender for baking or cooking, look for our culinary lavender products, which are packed for the kitchen.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use them in homemade soap?

Yes, they are popular for soap and candle projects. Buds stirred into soap can turn brown over time, so many makers sprinkle them on top instead.

Do they shed?

Loose buds are small and roll easily, so work over a tray. A funnel makes filling sachets much tidier.
