These are super easy to make, no sewing involved! The below measurements make 4-6 small deodorising pouches that easily fit inside your shoes, we’ve also made larger ones to hang up around shoe racks etc.

You’ll need:

4-6 square pieces of fabric around 25cm x 25cm

4-6 pieces of ribbon/string/twine around 20-30cms long each

125g bi carbonate of soda

125g arrowroot (or cornstarch)

Around 10-20 drops essential oils

Method:

In a bowl mix your bi carb and arrowroot together. Then add in essential oils and mix, add to desired level of fragrance. Then divide the mix equally between your fabric squares, placing the mix in the middle of the fabric. Then bring corners of fabric together and gather fabric and tie tightly together. They’re then ready to use, place one or two into shoes to deodorise. Should have effect and last for 2-4 weeks. Once finished you can empty contents, wash fabric and reuse!
