Ingredients

  • ¾ cup dried rose petals
  • 3 tablespoons dried mint
  • 1 tablespoon cloves
  • 2-4 drops rose essential oil
  • 2 5-inch squares of fabric
  • Sewing needle and thread or sewing machine

Instructions

  • Mix the rose petals, mint, cloves, and essential oil together in a bowl. Set aside.
    ¾ cup dried rose petals, 3 tablespoons dried mint, 1 tablespoon cloves, 2-4 drops rose essential oil
  • Take two squares of fabric. Place the squares right-side toward each other (remember you'll be flipping this inside-out). Sew the edges together with a running stitch, leaving a ¼ inch seam allowance, and leave a 1-inch opening not sewn. You'll need the opening to fill the pillow.

  • Carefully turn the pouch inside-out with that 1-inch opening. Gently press a chopstick into the corners to get them to crisp up.
  • Fill the pillow with half of the rose mixture, making sure to really pack it in.
  • Use a ladder stitch to sew up the opening. Repeat for any more pillows.
