DIY Lavender Ideas {6 of My Favorites}

Handmade gifts made with Lavender are some of my all-time favorites! I started by selling lavender sachets on Etsy years ago. They sold like crazy, but I wasn’t meant to sew all day…lol! Now, I mainly make lavender projects for my home or to give as gifts.

Check out a few of my favorite DIY projects using Lavender below. I’ve made each of these several times and they’re always a hit.

Create a bunch at once and share a little handmade goodness with your friends and family.

There are so many benefits of Lavender! The list is seriously long, but here are a few reasons you’ll want to have Lavender Oil around.

• Apply to your wrists and bottom of your feet to help with relaxation or a sleep aid.
• Diffuse it to help with anxiety.
• When mixed with Peppermint and Lemon it helps with allergies or hay fever.
• Apply topically to keep infections away from scrapes and cuts.
• Reduce swelling and pain from insect bites.
• Apply to burns to relieve pain and speed up healing.
• Dilute and apply to chapped lips or dermatitis to calm and heal.

This amazing oil can be used in some wonderful DIY projects that will be beneficial to your skin. Of course, they look and smell amazing at the same time…awesome!
