Herb Wreath

I am loving the benefits of having our {herb garden}!  In a {Home Made Simple} pamphlet, they had directions to make an herb wreath.  Their directions called for a wreath frame and floral wire, and I was thinking more along the lines of using what I already had in the house.  This is what I got:

Unfortunately, I still have not learned to take pictures of what I'm doing step by step, because I never know how they will turn out.  So I'll just break down the steps for you.

1. Use a wire hanger, and bend it into a circle.  I left the hanger part alone, because I figured I could use it to hang up the finished product.  Depending on where you will hang it, you might want to bend the hanger part back a little bit.
2. Cut fresh herbs from your herb garden (or buy some at the store).  I used mint and lavender for this one, but you can pick any that give off a nice aroma.
3. Arrange them in bunches of 3 to 5 branches and tie them together.  I used clear fishing line, because that's what I had on hand.  The original directions called for floral wire.
4. Use the fishing line or whatever you're using to tie the bunches to the hanger loop.  I also wrapped some of the branches around the wire to make them a little more secure and hide the wire.  Once you like how it looks, trim any extra string.
5. Find a nice place to hang it!

The mint quickly dried out, but it still looks nice.  Depending upon the herbs you choose to use, you could get a longer life out of your wreath.

Let me know if you try this!
