 Craft an Herbal Wreath

What I Did:

Crafted an Herbal Wreath

Here is a neat way to keep those herbs hanging around your kitchen well into the cool months. This is a good project for outside on the grass.

How I Did It:

1. Purchase a straw wreath (size varies on how many herbs you want)

2. Purchase greening pins

3. Gather your herbs (I used sage, rosemary, thyme, marjoram, mint, and oregano)

4. Wrap your herbs in a circle around the wreath and attach with greening pins

5. Allow to dry and hang (I used natural jute twine to hang mine and added a little bow)

This can be kept in the kitchen and when cooking just pinch off the herbs needed for your recipe.

Happy Herbal!!

  • Put plenty of herbs on as they will shrink as they dry.
