  Step 1

  I needed a gift for a crafty friend. With little money to spend. I wanted to make this project using items that I had around the house.

• 

  Step 2

  I made vanilla mint sachets with scraps of Holiday fabric.
  1-tsp pure vanilla extract
  1/2-tsp peppermint extract
  1/4-cup dried mint
  1-pound sea salt
  1-pound dry white rice

  Mix it well and let it dry overnight (or in the microwave for 2 minutes).

  Place 1 tablespoon into an approximately 4" square piece of cotton fabric. Tie with ribbon.

  Step 3

  *This thrift store mug has hand blended tea from a local crafter. Warm cinnamon and cardamom tea. YUM!
  
  *The sewing kit is several sewing items in a glass spaghetti sauce jar covered in a Holiday doily.

  *The handmade soap is from a local crafter is Lemon Verbena.

  Step 4

  *The rice bag is a 1 foot square piece of holiday cotton. I folded it in half, and stitched it on 2 sides. Turn it right side out, and iron flat. fill with 2 cups of white rice, and sew the last side closed.
  It can be heated in the microwave for 2 minutes, and used as a heating pad.

  The kitchen witch potpourri broom is simply a cinnamon stick with dried lemon gass tied on for bristles. I hot glued on a magnet, so it can be stuck on the refrigerator.

  Step 5

  I placed the items into the hat box.

  I covered the top with fabric, and sponge painted the bottom. I used old Scrabble tiles to personalize it.
