Materials:
Small Linen Bag from Craft Store
Paint (we used gold)
Paint Brush
Pine Needles (to fill sachet)
Holly Leaves and Pine Needles (to make prints)

1. Brush your leaf or needles with a bit of paint and press the leaf firmly onto the linen bag.  If you are using pine needles, simply dapple the tips onto the bag.  If you press to hard you will loose the shape of the pine needles. Remove the leaf or needles to reveal your print. 

(Alternatively you can just let your child draw a picture on the bag. Since it's not going in the washer, regular markers or crayons should work fine. 

2. To make your basic sachet filling, you can simply clip a small branch off of your tree or gather some loose needles from the floor.  You can customize your scent by adding slices of dried orange, cinnamon or clove and other scents of the season.  

By writing "Thank You" on the bag, these could also turn into sweet thank you cards/gifts). Whatever you decide to put in or on your sachet, you are sure to spread a little cheer throughout the year.
