DIY Lavender Ideas {6 of My Favorites}

Handmade gifts made with Lavender are some of my all-time favorites!  I started by selling lavender sachets on Etsy years ago.  They sold like crazy, but I wasn’t meant to sew all day…lol!  Now, I mainly make lavender projects for my home or to give as gifts.

Check out a few of my favorite DIY projects using Lavender below.  I’ve made each of these several times and they’re always a hit.

Create a bunch at once and share a little handmade goodness with your friends and family.

There are so many benefits of Lavender! The list is seriously long, but here are a few reasons you’ll want to have Lavender Oil around.

• • Add a few drops of Lavender to pillows, bedding, or bottoms of feet at bedtime.
  • Keep a bottle of Lavender on hand to soothe occasional skin irritations.
  • Freshen your linen closet, mattress, car, or the air by combining Lavender with water in a spray bottle.
  • Use in cooking to soften citrus flavors and add a flavorful twist to marinades, baked goods, and desserts.

This amazing oil can be used in some wonderful DIY projects that will be beneficial to your skin.  Of course, they look and smell amazing at the same time…awesome!

Do you have a Lush store near you?  Have you spent a ton on any of their pretty things?  If you have you will really appreciate this tutorial for my DIY Lush Inspired Bath Bombs!

These Starfish Bath Bombs were featured in a summer issue of Mollie Makes Magazine!  What a fun way to bring a little beachy fun inside.  Wouldn’t they be a nice treat for your summer guests?

I used Lavender and a touch of Sandalwood in these for a relaxing aroma that will make you feel pampered.
