Use Martha Stewart's heart or butterfly templates to the desired size, or make your own pattern. Graph paper is good for creating a grid design (such as the one shown at top left). Working on a cutting mat or piece of felt, lay your template over an envelope.
With a thick pin, punch holes through the template and envelope until the dotted design is complete.
Fill the envelope with blends of scented ingredients. We like the following combinations: cedar tips, cedar shavings, and lavender; orange tea and dried roses; and lemon verbena, chamomile and dried lemon peel. (Vary the amount depending on the envelope size; we used 1 tablespoon in the gift-card envelope.)
With a glue stick, seal the envelope.
Poke whimsical designs in your paper envelopes, then add your choice of aromatic blends.
