To make the sachet envelopes, you will cut out the template. Glue the sides of the envelopes together with a glue stick, leaving the top flap open for adding the scented rice mixture. Once the mixture is inside, you can seal the top flap with glue or tape.

Helpful Tips
- Either white or brown uncooked rice can be used.
- These envelope packets can be printed on normal white office paper. However, you can use a thicker weight of paper to make the envelopes feel more expensive.
- Increase the amount of essential oil used if you would like a stronger fragrance.
- Do not overstuff the sachet envelopes. They won’t close easily if too full.
- Seal the flaps of the envelopes with a glue stick, craft glue or double-sided tape. Hot glue is not recommended.
- Essential oils will absorb through paper and can transfer onto a surface that the sachet is laying on. The oils can damage the surface.
