RED CEDAR POUCHES
The smell of red cedar is as familiar to me as the back of my hand. It brings back sweet memories of when my parents would landscape our yard with red cedar chips, or when I’d place one of my childhood pets onto a bed of red cedar shavings. This special wood is well-known for repelling unwanted insects and odors while also controlling moisture, which is why it’s often used on lawns and in closets.
Red cedar, to me, smells like a pleasant hike through deep woods after a heavy rain, or the insides of an heirloom chest that hasn’t been opened in decades. It’s both clean and rich at the same time. I decided to use my special Provencal fabric for one more handmade project, and I’ve carefully sewn each pouch to hold a generous handful of red cedar chips, before tying them off with warm vermillion orange chiffon.
Use these pouches to keep your clothes smelling top-notch while driving the undesirable pests away, and if you ever want to refresh the aroma, simply give the pouches a few gentle squeezes. It will awaken the scent right back up! Place them in your wardrobes and drawers, or even stuff them in your shoes overnight, and let the red cedar work its magic!
(Price listed is for one red cedar pouch!)
