In ancient China, the handmade sachets are widely used by people from rich families. It is a custom that males and females send sachets to each other as a token of love. But now, nobody will think the sachets are the symbol of love but very common things. Do you know how to make sachets? I always try making it, eventually, I reach my goal.

How to make sachets?
Step 1: a preparing work
Cut off 2 pieces of fabric in square, sew the two together overleaf and turn over.
 

Step 2: a sewing and folding work
Fold the opposite angle together along the diagonal line. Use the pen to draw a square at the center, and then we can see the other three triangles in front.
 
Fold the triangle on the top along the side of the square and sew it on the square. So does the back. Unfold the whole fabric; what we see is like follows:
 
Sew the square along its right side and left side. Go on folding the triangle on the right into a new square, then the right side of the old square will be the diagonal line of the new square. Fold the new square as follows and sew a button on the new triangle, fix the left angle of the new square with thread. For here, the work on the right has been over. Keep on doing the same work on the left.
