Finishing for all sachets

Using tapestry needle, sew side and bottom seams.

Twisted Cord

Cut 1 strand of yarn 80 inches long.  Fold in half and loop over a door handle or hook. Twist strands in one direction until yarn kinks up on itself when relaxed.  Hold yarn at middle of twisted strand, remove end from door handle and allow yarn to twist onto itself.  Trim cut end so cord measures 12 inches.  Tie overhand knot in cut end.  Thread other end through eyelets, then knot.
