3. Dried Herb Wreath Project

We just adore this simple dried herb project. Here, she fashions the herbs into a wreath shape. Perfect for the holidays! Start off by building the frame of the wreath using the long sections of the rosemary and outline them into a round shape. Using a natural garden twine, bind the sections of the rosemary until you have firmly bounded the branches together. Make little bunches of every herb you have collected, and attach them to the rosemary frame using the same twine. You can attach as many bunches you want around the wreath. Once done, hang your finished wreath anywhere you want.
