I like using these little pouches for carrying special herbs or stones. They can be used alone or with a small drawstring muslin pouch for a liner. Especially helpful for when I am going for an evening stroll in the neighborhood and may find some stone or leaves I want to take home. I can also keep my pennies and tobacco in here too (in little 2"x3" ziplock baggies). I made several of these for my nieces as homesickness necklaces. They had just moved away to another state and where having a hard time getting adjusted. Every time they thought of us far away, they would get sad. So they would "squeeze" the pouch to release the scents, remember their old home and feel better. I believe I filled them with a little rose, bay, thyme, chamomile and lightly ground flax seeds.
