DIY Fragrance POuches

Ingredients:

Rough paper (get those from the fax machines printed with advertisments discarded)

Fold it into a fashion you that & tape up with scotch tape - fill up with any baby powder or fragranced powders you like & seal with tape. Stash them in your cupboards, wardrobes, drawers, car & even your handbag.

As a simple gift you might want to use pretty paper - wrapping paper leftovers, pretty envelopes you cannot resist to keep can come in good use here.

Why is this simple & good:-1) powders are usually used on the body therefore quite safe, especially (i have 2 pregnant colleagues) - thus this was great as it did not cause them nausea & safe unlike moth balls - there was some report stating that moth balls in wardrobes can emit some chemical fumes which is bad for an airconditioned room - especially the bed room as the air not so 'fresh'

2) Powders absorb moisture somewhat - slight.

3) cheap & easy to make, toss after 1 mth or so. J & J lavendar baby powder is my favourite, its about SGD$5.50 or less for 2-500g bottles. so its much cheaper than other fragrances which can be too empowering - especially for headache & migraine sufferers who get fragrance triggers.
