How to Make an Herbal Wreath

Herbal wreaths are made with both herbs and flowers. These wreaths emit a fragrant smell, the style can be perfect for the kitchen or any space in the house that needs a lift. This herbal wreath craft project takes 1 to 2 hours to create.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Craft wreath
• Herbs
• Hot glue gun
• Hot glue

1. Gather the fresh herbs. Cloves, marjoram, bay leaves, mint, oregano, parsley, sage and rosemary all have pleasant aromas and look great when they dry on the wreath.

2. Get a craft wreath from a craft supply store. Metal, wooden, styrofoam and Spanish moss wreaths all work well with herbs.

3. Lay the herbs on the wreath. Start with the leafy herbs like bay leaves, mint and parsley. Cover as much of the wreath as possible, unless you use Spanish moss and want to see the moss through the herbs.

4. Glue the leaves to the wreath with a hot glue gun. Spin the gun after gluing to avoid long, trailing strings of glue.

5. Arrange the smaller herbs on top of the leaves. These herbs are the cloves, rosemary and other remaining herbs.

6. Glue the small herbs to the wreath. For the tiny pieces like cloves, squirt a dab of glue onto the wreath and place the clove in the glue.

7. Hang the wreath in a high traffic area of the home or office.

Tips & Warnings

• Do not touch the metal piece of the hot glue gun or the hot glue. The hot gun will burn your skin.
