That's what I do except that I just leave it in the bags. Plenty of cedar scent can still make it through with no problem.

The bags cost almost nothing and using them I've made my own cedar chest (just line the bottom of a chest with the unopened bags) and cedar closet (place one bag above and one bag below the garments).

Cheap, easy, and effective!
